In short, on January 2013 rooting is legalized (which I thought already was.....) But unlocking yourself will be against the law.

Honestly, Legal or not, People are going to do it anyway. We pay for the device. We break it its our fault.. They don't have to warrenty anything we screw up. But how are they really gonna stop it? lol Besides, what's the fun of a stock device?

Oh I completely agree, I just figured if anyone is thinking of going to another company may want to know about the unlocking part

I should have titled it self unlocking not legal, that was the point.
I had heard months ago from a apple case that deemed jail breaking legal when they tried suing someone for it.
Yeah...I'm not quite sure how the hell they're going to enforce a "no rooting" law
and wow, a tablet is a handheld gaming device? So my phone, which can play the same things as a tablet, isn't a gaming device?
It seems to be targeting apple products. And I don't see how this could apply to android phones, since they can't really say what we can or can't do to the operating system seeing as it is open source. Flashing it for use on a different carrier is different compared to flashing roms.
I just skimmed through the whole pdf and it doesn't look like they ever mention android specifically being effected, and the whole jailbreak/rooting thing seems to mostly target apple products.

Yes, it applies to unlocking a phone from your carrier for use on another. Not against rooting the phone...

IMO, this crap is going to get a lot worse before long so be ready for it. Apple is in bed with the government already with the fact their the GPS stays on like a day after it shuts down, and the iphone video camera killer that law enforcement has now. As long as they keep working together they will keep challenging privacy laws until they get what they want.

I could deal with reading through forums finding a mostly bug free rom and installing updates from some stranger crossing my fingers and hoping I didn't just join a botnet, or I could just buy an iphone and be done with it. To each his own I guess, but I for one am done with Android, I know Apple will take care of me until my hardware can no longer support it (with the obvious exception of Siri - probably has to do with server side capacity).

I must add, though, the greatest device ever was the hd2. It could boot any windows, android, hell, it had jelly bean before android devices did, and run Linux.
Maybe the genius is to big a windows phone, so you don't have to worry about closed source/proprietor, then boot android or whatever else from it.

Edit: Pressed send on accident.
There was Swamp Goblin who scammed the community into buying him an E4GT to port Sense which we did get a booting but broken port.
Then we had another developer that was making a Sense themed TW ROM, he then had to sell his E4GT to take his daughter to a doctor. As far as I know, he is still working on the theme but he cannot personally test it.

As you might have been able to tell, yes. Some stores started getting stock on the 8th, all stores hopefully by the 15th according to T-Mobile.

Bro , we dont do personal attacks like that here in xda. Pulling my mom in middle of conversation is not acceptable for me.
To put us BACK ON TOPIC: T-Mobile started taking pre-orders late April, those orders were and are continuing to be fulfilled starting early May. The original street release date for the majority of T-Mobile corporate stores was to be May 5th, however, I went in on this day to get my grubby hands on one, none in stock. Informed at that time that it was to be May 15th that the phone was to be released, got to play with the display model to sate my desire to have one, got declined for the OAC, so my down payment will be larger, preventing me from obtaining the device anytime soon.
Questions been answered. Thread closed before it gets anymore more crazy.

Well what made you think it was waterproof?? Since when did cell phones come waterproofed?? I haven't seen any adverts on TV or the Internet advertising this "feature" nor does Google Search yield anything.. So why would you ask after doing some snooping around? There are other methods to waterproof your device though.
