Not sure how long it took to crack the EVO or other newer devices on different carriers. It could just be that VZW doesn't want to lose money so they don't want people to hack their phone. Thus leading us to these phones with locked bootloaders and shit.

---------- Post added at 11:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:30 AM ----------

Mike, maybe it isn't Verizon after all...

UPDATE: Just after MrPicolas posted this, news broke that this phone has a rootkit included which can wipe your phone back to its original state should you tamper with it and put say, a custom ROM or something on it. Basically any custom or user change made to the source code can be overwritten each time the phone is booted. I think we all know that the majority of the excitement behind this device was the fact that it ran a pretty vanilla Android, but after hearing this news, I’d say our “locked” bootloader is nothing. http://oti.newamerica.net/blogposts/2010/newest_google_android_cell_phone_contains_unexpect ed_feature_a_malicious_root_kit-380

That is in reference to the G2 on TMo.

And it isn't Google since they are all using different locking methods.

If the Inc had a big screen, I'd think about trying to acquire one and get a bigger battery but everytime I use my wifes Droid, I instantly want my X's screen back. I'll be keeping it until something major happens with phones. Whether that is a nice Tegra 2 on VZW, or LTE comes to Tucson and isn't overly esspensive, or someone else releases a really nice 4"+ phone, or a BAMF new version of Android comes out.

Or all of the above in one phone :cheeky: 4.3", Tegra 2, LTE, Android 3.0 or something, etc? Brb fapping.

There's certain things I like about both. Wont be going moto again either tho. If development speeds up on the Fascinate I might consider trading the X for one.

10-07-2010, 08:13 PM
I'd also CONSIDER it. However I tend to be hard on my phones and trading means losing Asurion. So the Fascinate would have to be pretty nice :imo. Better have a TPU case too :crossarms:

veerizon allows a upgrade every 1 year no?

stonehenge
10-07-2010, 08:17 PM
The main line gets an upgrade after one year for discounted pricing but the 2 yr upgrade is when you get the 2year price which is lowest. Unless you got a 1yr contract like mr.Mike.

HOWEVER, I got my X wiht my wifes upgrade. ALSO we have a 3rd line which is already eligible for upgrade :drool:

So it is highly unlikely I'll have this phone the full 2 years but I will keep it for now. It is a great phone, it just doesn't haz the haxability I would have liked :(

MikeH
10-07-2010, 08:28 PM
I will probably just end up keeping this phone and then if a BAMF phone comes out that I have to have I will add another line and just sell the X.

stonehenge
10-07-2010, 08:38 PM
rofl that works. That is how I got my Droid. I added a line. So now we have 3 lines on our account. Eligible upgrade dates:

3rd: 7/16/11
Wifes: 10/22/11
Mine: 3/16/12

So if I really get tired of the X, I can upgrade in July. I plan on keeping it for quite a while though. Highly doubt I'll trade it for a fascinate because I like the phone and I like insurance. If something crazy happened and VZW/Asurion wanted to replace my X with an Inc or Fascinate, I'd have to think about it really hard :hmm:

MikeH
10-07-2010, 08:56 PM
I don't think I would trade the X either because insurance is nice. Maybe I will try and trade the Inc for a Fascinate :hmm:

Most of my time is spent in Murray, Kentucky, for school and Mt. Zion, Illinois for home. Neither of which are close to LTE proposed cities, 2.5 hours to Chicago or 2 hours to St. Louis, from home. Murray is about 3 hours to St. Louis and probably close to 8-9 hours to Chicago.
