Alright, I'm not trying to insult you, or demean you, but a locked bootloader means less freedom when hacking or modding a phone. Motorola is notorious for locking their bootloaders, and thus restricted what the end user can do. Why does this matter to me? Because I want a phone I can have as much freedom as possible with. And I think most would agree with me when I say that being able to use a product you paid a sizable about of money for as you want to is pretty crucial to the process of deciding if its the corrrect fit for you. One of my criteria for buying a phone is being able to load ROMs on it. Its a personal preference, and I do not advise nor condem anyone who veiws things differently in that area.
I asked this also because I believe motorola locking the bootloader on their phone is more of a way to restrict their product to force it to function a certain way, without much freedom on the consumer end. Therefore, with that idea in mind, if I can confirm this phone does have a locked bootloader, I will stop support motorola, and take my business to another company that does allow for unlocking the bootloader.
If that doesn't answer your question, I can explain further. And please, don't take any of this sarcastically, or me trying to be a you know what. I just figured if I typed it all out, maybe we can both be on the same page. I imagine you have some interest in the Droid 4 yourself, since you have posted on this topic?
