how hackable is the milestone

---

ok first i am a total newbie.. planning to buy my first android phone and i am interested with the unlocked milestone as it seems to be the cheapest flash 10.1(i am very interested in flash too) enabled android phone out there.. i read the bootloader is locked... which means you cannot load custom roms on it..

i also read that using 2nd boot or kexec, u can load custom roms on it... my question is with these 2 methods, can u load a full custom rom(e.g. android 2.3) on milestone or is it still very limited and u must wait for actual official android 2.3??

i always want a gadget that u can fully customize...

IN SHORT, STAY AWAY FROM MOTO, AND NO OFFICAL 2.2 ROM MEANS NO FLASH SUPPORT OFFICALLY. TAKE A LOOK AT MOTO EURO FACEBOOK.

Moto locked up te bootoader, that means you are not allow to use unoffical kernel, and no full custom rom

so this custom rom is a fake froyo? No flash 10.1?

You can't say that is a fake froyo, as it is a real froyo with Flash support, but all froyo mod are using the leak 2.2 beta kernel, which still had many bugs. and we can't use a custom kernel as MOTO had locked the bootloader, so back to the how hackable question, Milestone is not very hackable, because we can't use custom kernel and that means many things can't do.
