Razr V3 update

Just bought the phone used, and it came to me as an unlocked phone. It
was originally a T-mobil phone and I happen to use T-mobil on a Pay as
you go plan.

Question; The updater software requires that I inform it as to what
provider I use, and it does say something in the instructions about
reestablishing a "Subsidy lock" on the phone. Does this mean that if I
update the software the phone will be locked to T-mobil again? Inquiring
minds want to know...

That's right.

If you have the subsidy password you can unlock it again.

Correct. If you want to upgrade the phone there are lots of options at
http://www.planetmotox.net/monster_packs.php

Just pick one that says "unlocked" and you'll be OK.
