I said this in another thread but something that may solve two of our problems in one swoop would be to ask vzw for a nexus device. We know google don't lock bootloaders and if it did have bloatware we could easily remove it with out having to worry about it keeping us from getting an update. I sent vzw an email because they have to resspond to emails within24 hours, stating I would like to see a vzw nexus. There was a demand for the iphone and vzw made it happen. There is obvious demands for the nexus being its on other carriers. If enough vzw users demand it I don't see why they would notmake it happen. Just a thought.

I'm old enough to remember the letter writing campaign that saved the original Star Trek so it could run the third season. Back then they said 100 letters were better than one letter with 100 signatures.

Good luck!

Happy 80th BDAY Leonard Nimoy! :)

I saw something like this on twitter the other day...I'm going to check and see if it's the same thing...If not..I'll sign.. :)

Wow over 800 sigs. I'd like to know what kind of response you get from them. Please keep us updated.

I'm not sure if this is enough to actually get a change from Motorola. I mean think about it how much profit do they make off a cell phone? Maybe $50? That's only a loss of $40000 if all these people don't but moto. I'd think you'd need like 5000+ sigs for them to care? But than again lets hope they do change it, I really don't understand their reasoning for doing so.

But like the rest of you the D1 will be my last motor phone unless they change their policies.

Think about the potential customers who might be deterred from purchasing a moto phone when all this hype spreads. Rather than try to quantify the money lost per sig, think about the net affect of a damaged image. A lot of potential customers are a jeopardy.

this is true. it's been said before that they have no reason to care what the modders think because we are such a small number of the customer base, but we are the ones that the average user looks to when they prepare to buy a phone. if they alienate us it will certainly trickle down.

Signed.
Saw this on twitter earlier. Tweeted the man behind it and this was his response: from @ibproud-I know! It's great. I am taking part in an online Motorola Dev event on 29th March and will make sure I show them the figures." I wish him the best.

That's great.... but I almost wish he holds off until the number is way higher and they find out when its too late. If their response is preemptive.. it might actually spoil the momentum. I want the hype to spread like fungus throughout the interwebs.. in blogs, social networking sites.. ect. Be very pervasive with this message. That's just the way I see it going down..

Exactly. How many times have we seen a new member here because somebody from a verizon store referred them here. Thats not including the lurkers.

@wugfresh- I agree. But I'd imagine something like that was planned ahead of time, you know.
