Actually it doesn't. Cingular ships phones and SIMs separately but,
as someone else said, since about 11/15 (I didn't note down the exact
date) they've been shipping 64k SIMs. But a dealer (or company store
employee) with a large stock of 32k SIMs might have sold ENS phones
with 32k SIMs until he used up his stock.

I recall when I stopped by the Cingular store to pick it up, the clerk
did swap the SIM - so presumably, this was an in-store effort to do the
right thing. Oh, and it *is* equipped with the subsidy lock, which may
have been applied at the same time, but I don't care.

The subsidy lock is applied at the factory by the manufacturer.

I really have no clue how a subsidy lock is accomplished, so I suppose
that's the typical methodlogy, is there no way this can be done in the
field, given the necessary equipment is at hand? The reason I ask is if
the subsidy lock can be removed in the field, it seems reasonable to
presume it can also be applied in the field.

It can, but most stores don't have the necessary equipment.

Re: v551
The V551 I bought on the 10th at the old ATT wireless store, now
Cingular, came with a 64KB SIM.
Don't know if it is unlocked or not.

If it came from an AT&T store it is locked.
