I'll believe it when I see it, but I do hope this is true. That would be awesome!

I think that Motorola wants to unlock it because bad reviews from devs.

Not to mention the bad PR they received when that schmuck handling their YouTube account posted that users should "look elsewhere because they will continue to do what works for them".

Can you believe that?! Motorola's an ungrateful b*tch! If it weren't for us, they'd have closed operations a long time ago. It's us, their Android users, that are saving their *sses!

Leaving alone that customization becomes a topic more and more important to the "technically apt" customers and a locked bootloader makes them "look elsewhere".

Maybe they also realize sometime that devs normally influence a large number of people in their consumer behavior, be it by their dev work or in their direct social environment.

Wait and see...

And hope it's retroactive and not just a new more open bootloader for new phones.

They starting to ask about bootloader!!
Lest keep asking Motorola!!
Maybe we and it someware!!

 

[add.thebad]

lets hope this is true and not just a pr thing it would make development lots better. e.g cyanogen!

User:I read that Motorola planing to help the development on android devices by unlocking the bootloader.Is this true?

Motorola Stuff:There was a statement made, but it did not specify that the bootloader would be unlocked. Still awaiting on more details from that statement.

Hope....

You do realise they didn't actually say that, right?

I really hope they do remove all the restrictions that are there just now but what they said was actually fairly non-committal unfortunately.

 

[999phonebug]

Exactly.

1. If I buy my phone from retail store (not unusual here), then there's no *partner* to concern with. So, give me an unlocked bootloader *now*?

2. They may only offer it for certain models, or certain SIM-locked models from certain operators.

I'll believe it when I see it.
