Some Sprint phones have both CDMA and Sim card capacity; at least, that's what I've heard. If that's the case, then it can be unlocked and used with other Sim cards.

FTR: Newsflash You can now legally unlock them

I was just going to post that

I didn't check out if the 6700 was GSM or CDMA, but if it is in fact a GSM phone (non world phone), you can't do anything

Doesn't Sprint use a CDMA network? SIM cards are for GSM networks, not CDMA... so it may not be so simple.

Yeah... didn't read past the sim part. A sim phone just needs a sim to work, the sim is what is tied to your account. CDMA is different - each phone needs to be activated with the network and tied to your account.
