hi guys,
Just wondering, if a phone has been released in some countries, and it has not been released yet in Australia, and the networks have not yet tested it, will the phone still work in my country even though the netwroks havnt tested?
cheers

Should do. Even if the network hasnt tested it it should work as long as the phone has the right frequencies for your network.

One other thing... Say i if i were to buy a phone from the Uk which was locked to orange,o2 or vodafone network...and i brought it back to Australia, would my sim work in it even though the UK networks are not operating in Australia, or would it still be locked?
cheers

would still be locked.
i get a lot of people buying phones and taking them back to france to use with orange but they are still locked even though they are the same company a the end of the day!!

How would one go about unlocking if this happened. Would i need to contact that network overseas?

not always,
depends on what phone you buy, SE, Samsung and most Nokis can be unlocked by a computer so as long as you know the old operator you should be well away.
what phone are you looking at?

even in oz we have plenty of people that can unlock phones in high street shops or markets, or just use any of the online unlocking services such as davinci if you're talking about getting SE phones

what sort of shops. I know there a lot of Asian phone stores in the city here in Melbourne that do these sort of things. So guess they could do it. Is this what you meant Masseur?
Im looking at n80 or w900, i was going to buy in here in Australia, but that didnt eventuate. the w900 i can get will be unlocked but vodafone branded, but the n80 MAY be locked
