Pretty much them all. The only exception are Iphone where apple won't let them add anything or if you buy Sim Free.0 -
Buy a contract phone from a third party like CPW, P4U etc and you are likely to get it clean and unlocked.0

It is a real shame the operators feel the urge to spoil phones with their stuff.
The Carphone Warehouse tip is good, it's a shame the shop always seems very pushy. Being jumped on by sales staff discourages any purchase in my view.0 -
I go into the carphone warehouse and have a play with the phones until I find which one I want. Then I look online for it.
I decided on the HTC desire S and got it £150 cheaper from Amazon instead of buying it from the carphone warehouse and got a sim only contract. Usually works out cheaper buying the handset outright.0 -
The thing is... the stuff networks put on is NAFF rubbish that you never use just bloats up the phone... Android have a bad habbit of loading their phones with crap you don't use and can't remove as well though
