as much as i love my Droid x, and motorolas great sturdyness to thier handsets, if they keep locking up the bootloader they can EAD as i jump ship to a different brand.
I _feel_ like that too, but unfortunately, I think everyone's gonna lock their bootloaders, like, until the second coming. At least on any unit you're likely to actually want.
Crappy, I know. But it looks like the writings on the wall for all manufacturers to do this. I hope we keep feeding the hackers ;-)
It's not the locking of the bootloader that bothers me, or even the encryption of the lock (Have you nothing BETTER to do with your time, Motorola?) but the booby-trap of that efuse thingy is just plain vindictive nastiness. Motorola has shown their true, EVIL color with that move.
