Not a Fan of Verizon’s Choice to Lock the Galaxy S3 Bootloader [Image]

Works Fine. Not sure why you think it sucks or how the s3 is any better. it's a Gnex with 1gb more ram and marginally faster spec/default cpus… oh and no curved screen I believe. Perhaps if they changed the radios to something with significantly more reception?

or if you mean just battery life? well aside from the pitiful excuse for an official extended battery, you can get batteries up to 3800mAh+ also with or without nfc. The phone is so thin as it is, even these monster batteries just make it feel like most normal cell phones lol.

@everyone else
It's not the fact it has a locked/encrypted bootloader. It's the fact that out of all the carriers to get this phone, Verizon is the only one forcing it to stay encrypted, therefore locked. It would still suck if they all were locked just the same, but seeing the same device on other networks all unlocked/unencrypted? that's like salt in the wounds. (Though all the other phones are GSM/HSPA+..whatever and the locked ones on verizon are the CDMA/LTE) Though it's not like the code for the drivers are in the source code or on the phone. we'd just get binary blobs.

bleh, not like I'm getting the phone. I'll be waiting for the next generation or so, maybe the next nexus.. who knows.
