I don't see why the N9 wouldn't be capable of being SIM unlocked via code, if indeed operators decide to lock it.
N900 was done via #PW+CODE+1# as far as I know. The better option is to simply buy it unlocked
The reason why I asked was because (obviously I guess) its cheaper to buy locked to a network and wondered how hard it was to unlock. Seems like its entirely dependent on the operators? ie there is no software method to unlock at the moment.

Well, it is related to the OP, as there are two kinds of lock:
- sim-lock: you can't use sim from other operator
- firmware lock: you can't use firmware that was not modified by your operator
The second is definitely aegis related, and may be of some concern for the OP (knowingly or not).
- sim-lock: you can't use sim from other operator
- firmware lock: you can't use firmware that was not modified by your operator
The second is definitely aegis related, and may be of some concern for the OP (knowingly or not).

Is it possible to unlock the N9? (ie sim restriction/tied to a network?).

Emphasis added. It is not remotely relevant to the original question in any fashion.

What are you on about?
He said, SIM restriction/tied to a network. This means the ability to put in a SIM card from a network, not owned by the operator.
There is no other way to rephrase his questions to suit discussion of Aegis, open mode or any firmware-related restrictions.
You are mistaken.

But who cares, now he has 2 streams of important info/facts that he probably knew nothing about.
And he didn't have to read/start other threads to attain one of them, all the better

You are mistaken.
- you cannot be tied to a "network" unless your phone only does one frequency. I freely assumed that he meant "tied to a network operator" which contains sim and firmware lock. It may well mean "specifically tied to use the phone only on the networks owned by my operator", which then does not contains firmware lock.
two conclusions here:
- Maybe I'm mistaken, but you can't assess it from the OP only
- I'm wasting my time, and yours (and anybody reading that: sorry), but you quoted xkcd first
I only read the 2nd post...
Looks like Estel got the ball rolling by not understanding the OP.
And I kept it going, sorry OP.
