You’re right, Verizon wouldn’t be the only company not stocking the S9 because the boot loader is unlocked. AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint would join them. ALL the carriers have their pennies-per-user gains to be made with their unremovable crapware, and I’m quite sure they are all completely over the customer support drain from Android malware.
- leetcrew 9y agoI find this argument hard to believe. google, htc, lg, and motorola all sell phones with unlockable bootloaders. the pixel 2 is locked if you buy from verizon, but you can easily get the unlockable one direct from google and use it on any carrier. I could believe that carriers require a locked version to sell in their own stores, but I can't believe samsung is uniquely unable to sell phones with unlockable bootloaders.
