I doubt it lol since they don't sell a locked version, and if I remember correctly harsaphes got the phone before it was released, if a subsidy lock is not built into the OS, which it wouldn't in this case there really is no way to lock it unless you recompile the OS and lock it lol

No. Find Engadget interview with Erick Tseng, the Android Product Manager, he said the phone is not locked even if you buy it using 2 yrs contract.
What the OP means is probably unlocking the bootloader
