Just got a bulletin with some great pricing on end of life handsets with Vodafone. You might have to hunt around for stock - in retail stores staff can have a look for stores which have stock. The Galaxy, X10 and Legend should all be free to unlock, the rest will be locked to Vodafone. The X10 is particularly good value as it recently got an upgrade to Gingerbread.
Also the prices aren't reflected on the internal pricing matrix, so make sure staff scan the phone through the till before they give you the price. Full list below:
Samsung i9000 Galaxy (Black & White) $349.00
SE X10 (Black & White) $149.00
HTC Legend (Black & Silver) $149.00
Samsung C3050 HS (Black and Pink) $19.00
LG GT540 Optimus (Black, Pink & White) $79.00
LG KM570 Stage Silver $79.00
Nokia E63 3G Handset $79.00
Nokia 6700 Slide (Purple & Silver) $99.00
Samsung Jet 2Gb (Black & White) $99.00
Sony Ericsson X8 Black $99.00
Vodafone 555 $79
Nokia C3 $79
Nokia E71 $79
