The efuse paranoia has, to a large degree, already been debunked. DroidLife[0] quotes BGR[1] as saying:
"The current theory being put forth by the non-alarmists in the Android hacking community suggests that the DROID X is locked in a similar manner to the Milestone. Though it may be difficult to crack, and may lead to many hairs being pulled out, mucking with the bootloader probably won’t brick your phone."

- dolinsky 16y agoIt's a shame there isn't a way to place blinking tags around this comment, arrows pointing at it. Until this efuse problem has been proven 'in the wild' it's nothing more than a possibility, and from the BGR article (I searched this thread first to see if someone had already posted it) it seems this efuse has been in place in previous Droid models but has never been used.
- GrandMasterBirt 16y agoThat is a dangerous statement dolinsky my man. That means that we should buy the phone only to realize we got a gimped device for the purposes of verizon deciding which software features to lock so they can charge us 10 bucks a month for each.
