Not all - mainly the O2 contract ones. This is because CPW have their own service provider for O2 and bill you themselves. A few of the O2 PAYG ones are also unlocked.
Vodafone, Orange, T-Mobile and Virgin handsets are still locked to their respective networks on both contract and PAYG.

Apparently O2 P990i's supplied by CPW are the O2 variant - CDA/29.
They are network unlocked and "technically" unbranded, but the CDA number stops you updating to the latest generic firmware.
Beware!

@tedx. I do presume we will be releasing newer firmware soon, but to be honest I'm not that bothered anymore myself as mines now debranded and will be forever
@dualist, so yours came with CDA 1 or 2 out of the box? No debranding of any sort?

@coth
When i had the same issues with a P910 and Orange were 2 firmwares behind i ended up sending a letter to the Legal department that as the update Service was part of the phones functionality and Orange by not approving the new Firmware were not allowing me to remedy known problems they had sold me a not fit for purpose device and cancelled a contract with 10months left to run at no penalty and refunded my purchase price for the phone. It all depends how hard you are prepared to push or if you will just rollover and just accept what they say.
