[Q]To be or not to be...... mad about a locked bootloader

[JustusIV]

So this is really my only go to phone at the moment. However as you can see from my tag I am coming from a nexus. Assuming it doesn't get unlocked like the S3 how mad should I be over the locked bootloader? No custom kernel, so no over clocking, no battery tweaks, etc. But let's be honest on my nexus while I always rock a custom kernel I am not in there tweaking it all the time. How do others feel? To me it just more or less feels like a slap in the face from Verizon.

I have used the t-mobile note 2 for a few days and you don't need to do any of that stuff to this phone. The speed is freaking amazing and the battery lasts all freaking day. The only thing i did was root it so that I could is TiBU and I was set. (I ended up returning the phone due to stinky t-mobile signal so I'll be waiting for the vzw version to come out)

Will 4.2 be able to be installed before Verizon gets off their slow duffs

I dont think it'll be bad. You see all these other threads of everyone bitching about the locked bootloader just like the s3 and that got unlocked. I have faith. I just want to be able to root and ROM. I just preordered it yesterday! A whole month away though it feels so long haha

It blows my mind that they are holding this release back a month. i am sitting here saying "shut up and take my money" and they would rather f it up some how.

the wait will be worth it! at least we will have the multi-window feature on launch! who knows if other versions will even get that update by the time vzw launches on the 27 or 29.

other carriers will get it and they'll get something ours won't launch with. When has Verizon ever been ahead of the curve on new tech?

Verizon is the guy that shows up late to the party and then starts writing the word "VERIZON" on everybody's forehead in sharpie.

Verizon let you pay him $299 to have his sister in bed. Only thing is, he wrote "VERIZON" on her forehead and her lower back in sharpie so you don't forget who's in charge while you're having sex with her.

Im betting the devs will use kexec to side load custom kernels and recoveries like the S3 initially was before the insecure bootloader was leaked.

Not really for this device. To get the full potential you need the majority of Samsungs framework riding behind the scenes. A phone like this would not be right with just AOSP/stock Android. Maybe keep the possibility of having a Samsung ROM that's cleaned up a bit but not a total makeover.

Now a phone like the Droid HD or the upcoming HTC DNA then yes; I would be pissed.
