If you are handling evidence handsets - WARNING - unlocking can alter stored data on the handset.

Because unlocking mobile phones from a particular network is not just about unlocking but some makes/models require debranding also, in some instances, and in others a firmware upgrade is needed. This can lose the screen wash logo (can disappear), alter calendars, lose entries in call history/phonebook, lose user profiling etc etc…

BEWARE when using *# codes for unlocking!!!! I have tested this method for the resetting of handset security codes on Samsungs and found that the handset contacts and call list data were deleted!!!
I agree with you Trew re loss of data but where I have merely read the handset codes (using tools such as SHU Box etc) I found no loss of data, although certain files may well have been changed.
However, when you have a phone with a handset code applied (and the suspect refuses to provide (or states he has no knowledge of) the code you may have no choice but to read the code using these tools.
If you consider that on each occassion you discovered a handset code applied and the examination was terminated (due to fear of breaching ACPO Guidelines) it would soon become common knowledge amongst the criminal fraternity and we could end up losing vital evidence for fear of changing certain files (which may be of no or minimal evidential value when considering the overall picture/incident/offence)!!!
By this I mean that if the SMS folders were of extreme importance in a case (and you had trialed/tested an exact model of the handset previously to acquire the security code and to confirm that no loss of folder data had occurred) should we not be using all options available (within reason) to either prove/disprove the offence.
Undoubtedly there will be many and varied opinions on such a topic and I welcome your comments folks.

Jacko.
