correct,but the devs don’t stay with it. You get an initial port and then support is abandoned. It’s not as smooth. (MIUI on droid x). screw verizon and motorola for listening to them. I will never get another motorola, unless google makes them unlock the bootloader on one

I’m not surprised, everyone knew that Motorola would not be unlocking bootloaders in any significant way. I’m betting that Motorola didn’t try very hard to get Verizon to let their unlocked bootloader on.

At least there’s the Galaxy Nexus. There’s no way that won’t be unlocked.

Everyone here is jumping the gun IMO. Saying the bootloader is locked doesnt really tell us much. The Xoom has a locked bootloader at purchase. HTC has locked bootloaders at purchase. Those devices can be unlocked by agreeing to void your warranty if you unlock them. The fact that the Razr has a locked bootloader DOES NOT mean it cant be unlocked. We simply dont know yet. We will not know anything of substance until we learn if the bootloader is encrypted or if they will provide a way to unlock similar to how we unlock the Xoom. If its locked but not encrypted the devs will have it unlocked inside a week.

The Xoom is on Verizon, and it’s unlockable, so I’m not buying that excuse.

So getting advice from you is a dumb idea.

Oh, and it is more like 99.9% don’t care. There are 1M Android phones activated daily, and how many will downloaded CM7 or another custom ROM? What, 300-400k tops in total? Do the math.

Your comment reminded me of a Far Side comic called Luposlipaphobia: the fear of being pursued by timber wolves around a kitchen table while wearing socks on a newly waxed floor…google it…the illustration is priceless!

While you make valid points, unlocked bootloader does not = tethering. Rooting = tethering. So its not about controlling what we do on their network, it’s telling the guy that probably dropped retail $ on a phone that he’s limited to what he can do with something he owns and may or may not even plan to use vzw’s network.
