SIM-free = updates direct from HTC
Carrier-branded = updates from carrier (but often distributed via HTC)
The situation is slightly confused when resellers supply unlocked handsets on contract e.g Carphone Warehouse. These also aren't generally network-locked and will be updated with the generic HTC version of 2.1.
