Sprint doesn't cripple the firmware on their phones. They do most definitely
lock them and always have. You can't bring a compatible non-Sprint phone to
use on Sprint's network, and Sprint won't let you unlock a Sprint phone to
use somewhere else.

I like Sprint better than Verizon, myself, having used both; but your
statement is still completely incorrect.
