Nokia should do the same.

Saw an article on xda dev today. http://www.xda-developers.com/android/asus-releases-official-tf700t-bootloader-unlocker-tool/

So, why doesent Nokia do the same, realese an unlocker tool for those who would like to customise their phones. Simple or what. Iwould gladly refute the warranty for custom roms.
And maybe,, it would increase the sale numbers. You just have to give peaople the right to choose.
1. a nice windows phone with developers applications,
or
2. windows phone with no warranty , and you can do what ever you want with it.

What do you thin?

Never going to happen I'm afraid, android devices get official unlocker tools mainly because of the openness of the OS and the open source project, but windows prides itself on having a super tight closed system, which for security reasons is great but for us people who want a bit more from our devices is very bad news.

Just cant beleave it cant be unlocked. If we cant unlock the lumia now,what will hapend in the future, if they start usimg this bootloader on all the pgones and companyes.
Have thougt allso to change the 800 for 710,but wjat a shame it would be.

Well, its a case of waiting and hoping, but with android, they will most of the time be unlocked relatively quickly and wont ever be shut off like wp7, and it takes a lot of work and time to crack a wp7 bootloader. I had a HTC Titan that had no activity at all here on xda so I got rid of it, and what do you know, 3 months later it gets unlocked and custom ROMs. So I'm just going to stick with my 800 and pray someone will manage to get our boot loader unlocked. I don't want to lose out again .

I have to say, I am one of the few that would not be happy with something like this, I purchased my Lumia 800 because of it being secure.

But on the flip side, I do not see anything like this happening, microsoft pride themselves on their secure operating system for phones, much like apple (ever noticed how there have never been any such unlock tools for apple devices, only third party ones using exploits). With closed source operating systems comes a much more closed environment.
