Unlock Motorola V220

Options
I'm thinking of buying this phone locked to o2 but my current network is BT Mobile (working on the Vodaphone network). Does anyone know if this phone comes unlocked (it's Motorola so I'm guessing it doesn't) and does anyone know if this phone can be unlocked in a shop?? Has anyone bought this phone and had it unlocked??

    If you are buying this from www.mobileshop.com it comes sim free.

    I bought it last week on the 12 months free line rental deal with O2 and was pleasantly surprised that it is open to all networks. I put my orange chip in and it worked fine.

    A freind had this but had trouble unlocking it, might have been because it was on Virgin though.
