Ok whatever. You totally missed the point of my post or are just too stupid to get it. Do you have Aspergers or are you just stupid?

Why would you stop selling the largest market share? Would Verizon and AT&T stop selling the iPhone if apple went against the grain in some way? Nopes. Motorola is the SMALLEST manufacturer of Android phones of the “big 3″. So do you tell the company that sells ur products what to do when they have two other manufactuers that already sell more product than you do? YOU would make a GREAT CEO then. I hear RIM is hiring.

Nobody likes locked bootloaders I agree but Moto couldnt afford to rub Verizon the wrong way yet…..not until Google finishes swallowing them up.

That’s not the point. If Verizon wanted to they could just not sell HTC phones because of the bootloaders being unlockable, do they? No. Yet Motorola insists that Verizon won’t sell their phones with unlockable bootloaders. The point being that if Motorola had 38% of the market and HTC had 14% I would argue that Motorola would still blame Verizon and HTC wouldn’t care what Verizon said.

It’s funny you say that. My friend manages a VZW kiosk in a BJ’s and he told me they didn’t receive any real advertising posters for GNex or Rezound. They have little flyers for those 2 and they have huge posters for RAZR. I unlocked the Rezound bootloader last night and rooted it too.

Too bad this comes out now after the Nexus is out. Depending on what you can do with an unlocked HTC, I might have chosen the Rezound. Oh well. Nexus it is for the next two years.

Once you have been unlocked the bootloader on the Incredible 2, how have you rooted it?

Thanks!!

Once you unlock the Dinc2 bootloader, how did you root it?

How is the external speaker on the Rez? Does beats audio package mean it has a better speaker or is it software only? Also, what does the rez extended battery cover look like? Im happy for Htc owners. Moto bashers must remember that Htc just did this. Moti may follow suit give it a month or so…

Price for a Rezound on Amazon shot back up to $249 for an upgrade. They’re backordered as well. Glad I got mine on Wednesday. )

And the last shred of regret for purchasing a Rezound instead of a Galaxy Nexus vanishes. Bring on CM9!

You also have to realize that HTC commands the most market share of Android phones sold. Something like 38%(if I remember right) whereas Motorola only has 14%. HTC, as the biggest player can do what they want in a sense.

So if you were able to obtain a signed radio (let’s say a dev pulls one from an official OTA or something) could you then take that radio file and flash it via fastboot with S-On?

So now I’m curious, with this news how does the Rezound Stack up against the Gnex. Obviously have to wait a few months for ICS …… Thought?

Why not? Their has to be more people screaming unlock than people saying NO do not unlock. All the other people just don’t care as long as it doesn’t affect them.

For reals. I went to get mine and their was not a single ad in either store I went to. I pointed it out to the rep that sold me mine and he was like I didn’t even notice that, hmmm… Their is a guy with a job who decided these things. Wherever he is he’s probably a douch that loves the color red and was a fan of George Bush. This phone deserves just as much credit as the Razr does it not? Is it not just as good if not better than the Razr? Pfff, you guys decide.
