But at some point Rogers moved to GSM and Bell went with CDMA so that if you had a Bell phone you could not use it on a GSM based carrier. The reason I got the CDMA phone was because of the data features of CDMA but strangely those features were turned off in the Bell provided phone. Much to my displeasure.

My 2nd phone was on Rogers, but used IS-136, which they had before GSM.  There was supposedly a cable for it that could be used to use the phone as a dial up modem.  However, I never saw that cable and it was an extra cost service.  As for CDMA vs GSM, that's just incompatible, not locked.  It would be locked if you couldn't take a CDMA phone from Bell and use it on Telus.
