Unless we are meaning different things when saying locked they can be 
locked. Slots on the phone are not available for things such as 
"Comedian Mail"  even after going though the procedures shown below to 
clear the phone. A message appears saying comedian Mail download 
refused. Services is full. ADSI is not available. This indicates to me 
that the phone is locked.

I'm not sure what you mean by a hardware lock. Is that different than 
locking the 4 slots of the phone?
