You can verify this by going into the SIM Card options and typing MEPD. You will notice that 'Network' is 'Active' which indicates the device is locked.

The unlocking procedure is the same as the 8800 from Cingular and/or T-Mobile. I unlocked mine two days ago.
Hello,

Where did you get your 8830 unlocked and how much did it cost?

Thanks.
