Will the 3G Model be Unlocked?

With the CR-48 it has a GSM modem but it doesn't work on the Stable or Beta Channel..It seems Google paired up with Verizon for this devices...It has a GSM..but it is going to be a DEV channel unlock...

Hope I am wrong though!! Ofcourse when it launches in Canada..it may just work with all though since you don't have EDVO..
 
I isn't really "locked" the OS doesn't support GSM yet. I have a feeling once they launch up there and in Europe...Chrome OS will support it. The actually modem isn't hard locked.
 
That is up to the carrier...sometimes they do or others like to flag the account. It would work though but rather or not they want you too...

I say go with the 3G model. It isn't that much more...
 
How are you checking the remaining amount of data on the 100mb plan? I looked at the verizon website, but it wants a cell phone number.

thanks!

It tells you right in the status WiFi bar...just click the radio, turn on your Mobile Data. Once it is up (30 secs or so) then it will tell you how many MB's are remaining out of 100.

EDIT: You have to create your account through the wizard on your Chromebook to start.
