No they do not... and also they don't even have the T68m anymore. They have the T68i. But you can get it, and unlock it for sell or gift after your P800 comes.

I work for t-mobile and all the phones we sell are locked. But after you've been customer for a little bit, we will give you the unlock code he you want.

I wish other companies *cough AT&T* would do that.

T-mobile refused my first request just a few days after I bought my phone... they said wait 15 days then resubmit. I did and it took a day or two for them to send the code with instructions. All went well.

Send request to: SIMUnlock@T-Mobile.com

This is the reply you get...
