I'll stick with Telstra as my carrier but due to their poor support of WP7 (particular the Nodo update) it will be a frosty day in hell before I use another Telstra branded phone!

Yeah, if you can get it unlocked and just pop in your SIM then that's the best thing to do. On the flip side we could be in for faster/smoother update rollouts. MS has said already that they're going to do OTAs so I think that changes things.
