A little conversation with motorola

---

The "when the carrier allows it" statement looks like a backdoor for Motorola.

What the heck has the carrier to care about unlocking my device? The only thing i can imagine is the fear of removing simlock,but is there actually any simlocked device?

There are simlocked Milestones elsewhere i think.. some dude told me he got a Simlocked MS2.. but thats not the problem goddam it.. my Phone is Bought WITHOUT contract and WITHOUT Provider.. thats the good thing about Europe.. we have Sim Cards.. so we can use this phone with every provider.. the point is.. it doesnt get protected of any provider means their Backdoor WOULD NOT WORK on my device.. so i wanna see what they do now.. these idiots..

Been reading this - the motorola europe team have a serious lack of support for consumers who actually use the open-sourceness of a phone...

You could sue Moto or get a refund? In the UK the law is if you buy a product with an incorrect description you my get a refund if you apply for a refund within I think 6 years of purchase. I bought mine in March and it said 'latest version of android' and at the time of purchase it bloody well wasn't and isn't

Im not sure about that law in germany.. but if it exists.. it cant be under 2 years.. and in that timeline motorolas "date" will happen..so i wait until 2012... (also i have some pay contract.. wich ends 2012) so lets see if they put a Diamond lock on it.. or a paper lock so that we can easily cut the paper with a scissor.. (hope you get my stupid metaphor)

I understand -.-

Motorola are really bad when it comes to customer service outside of America. Me and 2 of my friends have the Milestone 2 (I only got one because I couldn't be bothered waiting for a LGO2X and they physical keyboard) and they aren't happy either. I know people with Gingerbread on their phones and they can install ROMs as they pick and choose; Motorola are just trying to cut corners tbh and their excuses don't work. Probably 80% of the MS2s were released SIM Unlocked so to say 'depends on carrier' is pathetic. Talk about negligence

I get your point regarding the law.

But no court in Europe or elswhere could get Moto to unlock their bootloader. Maybe you could get your money back, but who really wants to go to the court for this...?

I don't know if it's just me, but I read out of it that there actually IS unlocking. I mean they said regarding unlocking bootloaders: this feature will be enabled in future software releases (later in 2011). That's a good thing isn't it.

Have you got the link to the conversation?
