I'm about ready for a new phone. I've been with Verizon for years, but I will leave for Sprint because of Verizon's knack to lock the bootloaders of their phones. Once you go root, you never go back. Wake up, Verizon, there are hundreds of thousands of people out there who won't buy a device that you can't root off the bat. You're losing customers as more people upgrade to phones comparable to your flagships, phones that can be unlocked and rooted easily.
