yeah but aren’t all devices sold locked? and the only variation is the degree to how locked they are or if there’s a program available to unlock them?

Who’s this we? Going on the comments no one here who cares about the bootloader being locked actually bought one for it to be unlocked in the first place. I mean if you did buy one then that’s different, but I don’t think that’s the majority.

the only point you make that isnt already happening are 3 and 4…they may release more than 3 unique models, but the majority of them are well supported for 18 months plus, as far as 4 goes, whats the point of offering stock android if everyone is going to put a rom on it anyways…do you even know what stock android looks like without going to the store and looking at the which ever phone has stock which ever version of android you want?…and as far as 5 goes, the bionic was a snafu, every single one of their other phones had software issues fixed wtih a month or two of release

if the phone is sold unlocked, then that rule doesnt apply, as it was them that unlocked it, they have to honor the warranty…however, if it is sold locked, and you unlock it…that voids the warranty and any liability on their part

Moto, You use to be the best but now you just suck. Have used your phones since the Nextel days up until the Droid2. Your software sucks, hardware is the best and you take your customers for fools. Once the Nexus S dropped for ATT I left Verizon (no good phones at time) and went with a real phone. Have not looked back, well took a peak here and there hoping the Droid4 will have an unlock bootloader. That may win be back, hopefully there is a Droid4 DE. So now I am using a Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus GSM when it should have been Motorola phones and could have been supporting an American company.

And why no warranty? Software can be fixed with the images. Just because the bootloader is unlocked does not mean that the hardware will not break.

Way to screw up.

Exactly. That would be a question for Moto.

This is an European model, and the Eu-code is for 2 years, along with a contract. If you are a phone is sold on a two-year contract, then it should be warranted during that time.
*pple just got a huge fine in Italy because the were selling over-lapping warranties.http://www.theverge.com/2011/12/27/2663489/apple-fined-1-2m-in-italy-for-misleading-warranty-claims

However, I believe Motorola can get aroung this by selling off contract.

Then you are in the minority. I’ve owned most of the Moto phones (minus the Xs) and after all this time (and abuse) they are still going strong and look like they were just taken out of the box. You’re experience is the exception, not the rule.

It doesn’t cater to the dev crowd at all. It’s a shot in their face actually. Why make a whole new phone (screwing over people who just bought the current versions) when they could have just unlocked the current versions?
