Blackberry's do. Specifically the 8830, 8330, 8130 and 9630. Don't know about the Storm.

FYI MOST phones on VZW are locked, except world phones, since VZW was sued in a class action suite over this and LOST... WOOT!

 

Anyway, some phones like the Storm you can install a NON VZW OS, which is from what I heard are MUCH better then the buggy VZW OS which will have the gps unlocked. Not all smart phones and BB can have a hybrid OS uploaded. 

 

Also, the true acid test is to use something like Google maps or whatever and look at your location accuracy. If it is a few meters then it is unlocked, if it is anything in the double, triple or quadruple digits, then no it is not unlocked
