Anyone have and 'unlocked' icon on their boot screen?

Unlocked on my 32GB gray model from Best Buy.

I've heard that being unlocked may be a problem for renting Google Movies (not that we have that ability yet...)

are you guys sure you don't have an unlocked icon, because i noticed it comes up and then disappears kinda fast!?

I had one from Best Buy which had the unlocked icon. I returned it a few days ago for various reasons...

I just received a 32GB grey one from Costco - NO unlocked icon!

Wondering if only Best Buy ones are unlocked or is it early release vs late release. Anyone else get one from Costco today?

I wrote above, but truly don't know what the difference is at this point anyway. Anyone care to elaborate what the unlocked one can do currently that the locked ones can't. Anyone know of a way to unlock one that is currently locked?

No way as of yet to unlock a locked boot loader. Most likely has to be done by Samsung.

Both can be rooted, both can have CWM, and both can use different kernels. The only difference is that you cannot use nvflash on the locked Tabs. Nvflash is NVIDIA's flashing utility, much like Odin for Samsung

I have had three SGT10.1s due to returns. The first two were from the original "release day" pallet at Fry's and the last was from the second pallet they got. The first two had the unlocked symbol, but the third didn't.

Hope it sheds some light on the situation.
