i may not end up being correct, but i wouldn't call my thinking "backward." considering how well Moto phones sell for vzw, and how well Andy devices sell for vzw, do you really think they hold ALL of the chips?! what if Google said, "ok, we're not gonna let you sell any Moto phones. and, we're not going to extend Andy licenses to HTC and Sammy for any Andy devices on vzw - just at&t, t-mo, and sprint." now, i know that would never happen, because it's neither beneficial to Google or VZW. but, i don't think it's accurate for you to say that VZW will be able to stick to it's "take it or leave it" attitude. the bargaining power has swayed, and both sides will have to give...
dang no 'edit' button...
maybe that means that most Moto devices will have a locked bootloader, but Nexus devices on vzw won't. or, maybe it means that Moto devices will still be locked, but vzw will allow them to be unlockable by customer choice.
