little people can't fight their attorneys, there isn't enough money for that. the gov't supports big business so little chance there. gov't let them just about monopolize the cdma cellular business just as in so many other corporate entities. not many other choices but gov't doesn't see it that way.
if the phone manufacturers don't want to lock the bootloaders for v...v goes somewhere else. i think i would lock them and whatever else v wants if i want to stay in business.
v changes their plans to rip you off more and know what? people pay it.
go prepaid screw v

i doubt it. 99% of the cell phone users don't know what a bootloader is nor do they care. they just want something that can text and take pictures.I think everyone needs to focus their attention on the phone manufacturers like samsung, htc, moto not verizon. If and this is a big if they refuse to allow verizon to lock their phone's bootloaders then what phones would verizon have to sell to their customers. We need to petition the manufacturers to not let verizon bully them into locking it. I would love to see an official letter from the top phone makers to verizon. Dear verizon wireless we will no longer support your carriers practice of locking our phones bootloader and we will not manufacturer phones until this practice is reverted. I bet verizon would back track on that if this would happen.

only in a store say it on the phone to a manager they will damn near offer u anything except a unlocked bootloaderThey constantly piss me off, but what can you do? Where I live if you want your phone to work an not constantly drop calls its vzw or nothing. They basically have zero competition because they have the best coverage.
I actually heard a guy in the store threaten to leave an go to sprint. The rep actually told him "that's fine, we have plenty of customers"

thats not there problrm if u do melt the cpu your warranty will be voided so its insurance or a new phone at full retail. More money for them i bet verizon got stock in assurionVZ must see some benefit to the lock or else they wouldn't do it. Maybe they think custom kernel = overclock = melted CPU.

u can brick a phone with a locked bootloaderI'm guessing Verizon sees the locked boot loader as a way to minimize false warranty claims? I can't think of any other reason why they would want it locked, and we all know there are people that will turn in bricked phones on warranty claims.

Nope they are not even as helpful as they use to be on the phone for me. When I was having trouble with my first RAZR with the battery dying in 2 hrs or less I called an raised cain trying to get swapped to a maxx. Talked to everyone I could an there was no way they would do it. I even offered to pay another $100 over the $300 I paid for my razr.
But some people get them to swap them to a maxx. Wish I knew the trick, or magic word cause they wouldn't budge for me no matter what I said....

you're finally figuring it outIs verizon the nwo of mobile carriers? What a joke they make of us the consumer. Now with ics on RAZR how about if you don't like it and want to roll back, you can't due to the locked bootloader. Whats next, charging me for the amount of memory i use on my phone. Thanks verizon for taking over my device.

"BECAUSE a ton of people got them to swap to a Maxx, NOW they are not as helpful to you on the phone."

if Verizon allows Samsung phone with unlocked bootloader in their secure network, why not Motorola devices. Their is something fishy going on between Samsung and Verizon. They even promote the unlocked bootloader for the sgs3 but we Motorola users are ignore.buy the samsung with unlocked bootloader direct from samsung
