True, It’s all about the money, hook the consumer with a great phone then tangle the carrot with each device to keep them snatching up the crumbs and leading them down the trail. lol

i dont think verizon is being stubborn as much as i think they are riding their ego as far as it will take them.

they know that they are the carrier of choice and they think they can put any limitations on there service they want cause they know they wont loose many subscribers for it.

much like apple rolling out a new phone every 6 months with 1 or 2 new features so they can charge the full price for the new phone. they know the fanboys are still gonna buy it cause they think without it they are a nobody.

however i can see some more valid reasons for this.
and the main obviously is the wifi tethering.

I have to agree with this. I have dropped my Droid X1 so many times I’m surprised it still works. Its also rooted.

Say it had an unlocked bootloader..would that be the blame if anythings wrong with it? Something tells me yes, cuz it will be the easiest and cheapest solution…even tho it looks like someone’s been throwing my phone to the ground.

At the same time….I would take the HTC way if no other way is available. Oh well…if I want an unlocked bootloader bad enough….so be it.

any chance that they will support the thunderbolt with this tool? i could do it the hard way, but i’m not planning on rooting soon, so maybe by the time i do, i can just use this.

on the contrary, sense 3.0 is awesome. i love the carousel for the screens now so i dont have to go back and forth. leap is awesome, and most of the apps that come with it, like it’s people app, are a lot more friendly, and all the social networking is integrated into contacts really nicely.

Yep,

This confirms my decision to skip the Bionic and wait for the Thunderbolt replacement…..

IMHO, HTC listens to their customers, Motorola does not….

I paid $22.85 for an iPhone 4-32GB and my girlfriend loves her Panasonic Lumix GF 1 Camera that we got for $38.76 there arriving tomorrow by UPS. I will never pay such expensive retail prices in stores again. Especially when I also sold a 40 inch LED TV to my boss for $674 which only cost me $62.81 to buy. Here is the website we use to get it all from, CentHub.com

They think they’re smart, but obviously it doesn’t take much to figure out what they’re doing. Where is the tbolt one-click method?!?

But what if it is hardware not software, then (unless if you overclocked that another story) that has nothing to do with you being rooted. Manufactures should take responsibility for issues that are their fault. I am fine with them telling me they will not replace my phone if the issue is I bricked it (although I do not see how anyone could without being downright stupid or lied to). If the issue is the screen failed they should replace it, end of story

is it just me or are a lot of people in the comments mistaking rooting for unlocking?
