I think you meant to say, "Beep squawk boop bep *whistle*".]]>Jul 20th 2010 8:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/droid-2-launching-as-soon-as-august-12-embraces-star-wars-roots/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/droid-2-launching-as-soon-as-august-12-embraces-star-wars-roots/
Unfortunately, Motorola has already stated that they will continue to encrypt the bootloaders in all of their upcoming devices. Sadly... it's caused me to throw Moto under the bus. Unless they change their position on this - I'm jumping ship... no matter how much I love my OG Droid.

Why Moto? Why? What did we developers ever do to you? I suppose you don't realize that the customers you are alienating with this horrible turn are the ones that give you the most free press than any other type. Us diehard Droid fans are the ones that use word of mouth to promote your phones and brand more than any other customer base - from forums to blogs and most important... telling anyone you see how great this smartphone really is. I really don't think you will see that level of devotion from Moms, Dads, and other semi-serious smartphone users... they just don't carry the same level of love for their phone as the hardcore user.

Even custom ROMs get posted all over the Web - and it's becoming more and more common talk among Android sites and users... and now they're even being highlighted on various mainstream tech sites. Do you all really think that articles announcing the release of, for example, CyanogenMod, would serve you well as... "CyanogenMod now available on all phones! (except Motorola devices...)". Yeah... that'll look real good... right.

Sorry Moto... but you not only dropped the ball on this one - you ran the darn thing over with the car. #MotoFail !!!
