It was rootable for about 2 weeks after launch, then HTC pulled bootloader unlock support from the htcdev site... most likely at the urging of Verizon. People that rooted early got lucky, others missed the boat. But the dev community for this phone is outstanding so far. Unlock and root will be back one way or another. Believe that.

We did have root via htcdev.com but they shut down support for it, presumably because of pressure from Verizon. There are some great devs working to get us s-off...no guarantees but let's keep our fingers crossed

I was gonna get the phone within the first 2 weeks but u didn't have an upgrade available yet. I had the root method downloaded and read over the instructions multiple times exited to root it when I got it and now just found out u can't root it any more, I was very disappointed about this but hopefully we get another root method soon.
