[android-developers] Re: Option to unlock the boot loader for Sony Ericsson Android Gingerbread phones now available.

Sony Ericsson, I think we Verizon Xperia Play customers deserve an
explanation.

Quotes from http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/

[QUOTE]
We strongly recommend that standard users NOT unlock the boot loader,
as it is not needed. We are proud to deliver great phone experiences
through our rigorously tested and official software releases.
[/QUOTE]

We don't have the option to disable the light sensor (err...), we
don't have the option to remap our gamepad keys (R button for camera
is just so obvious!), and we can't do a million things we can with
root. Reading the website is just insulting.

[QUOTE]
You should be aware that unlocking the boot loader will not give you
root access. The only way to get root access is to flash a custom ROM
with root access.
[/QUOTE]

This is not true, a custom ROM is NOT necessary for ROOT.

[QUOTE]
It is currently not possible to unlock the boot loader for CDMA
phones. We are however working on this.
[QUOTE]

This is the worst one, what's the deal with this? We all know it is
possible, and someone just went out of their way to make it harder.

Despite all this, I will still give Sony Ericsson the benefit of the
doubt and hope they can give an explanation. Something tells me it's
Verizon that is pushing SE around.
