A Call to action again Motorola - We need Your help!!!!

---

So here's the deal... Motorola has crippled their phones, kept their bootloaders locked, and directly mocked the same people that bought their hardware essentially telling them to suck it. However, in today's social environment we have a way to fight back hard, and others have already discovered this. Go on facebook, like motorola's page (I know, its horrible, but we have too), by liking you'll be able to post in the comments of every moto post. Find every single god damn post by motorola and post the message that you will not be buying another motorola product as long as they keep the view of controlling the hardware you paid for. Tell them you will be spreading this message to your peers, friends, and family. Make it public knowledge that although they build great hardware, their software sucks, and while on other brands this is not a problem as the developers can produce clean,fast, stable roms, this is not the case with Motorola products due to the locked bootloader.

Your task is set, spread the message, and check out all the comments on their page and see how well everyone is already doing on this. Be snarky, be smart, and make them pay in the public light. Find every blog post or forum post across the intertubes and spread the same message. If we can spread it everywhere both moto and the public with get the message. If moto does not concede then they will suffer for it.

Many of the locks are imposed by carriers and/or are selling points at the Motorola sales meetings. Carriers make so much more profit off a locked down device (lower overhead costs associated with supporting "one way" and by funneling customers through carrier premium services) that your best bet may be to start buying unlocked devices so motorola sees that aspect of the market as profitable.

Talk does very little compared to dollars. I totally agree with you that locked down devices suck for some consumers-but proprietary is just where the money's at :: cough Apple :: and the people who make decisions like this are just watching the bottom line.

They are doing it because it is the bottom line yes, but if we make it very very apparent that its negatively affecting the bottom line, publicize it heavily, than we can work against these factors. Saying it's not helpful to consumers is bull****! I personally have recommend many many android phones to all my friends, family, peers, rooted them all, installed way cleaner and faster roms and in general made their phones and experiences amazing.
