"What is the harm to have it unlocked. I buy a piece of hardware (desktop, laptop, car, house, boat, PHONE, what ever the hardware is.) WE all want to be able to do with it what we want. For instance a car which is a piece of hardware,we all modify them to our liking rims, paint, motor modifications, interior, sound anything you can think of and then we show it off to the world and have competitions to judge them. What do you think would happen if the company that made that piece of hardware said you could not do any of those modifications? You would put a whole lot of people and companies out of business. Just like your company almost did until Android OS came along and saved you. If you continue down the path you have chosen Motorola Mobility might see the end sooner then you would like."
