Motorola Europe, I Challenge Thee

Posted on 12 February, 2011 by maximinus

I hereby issue a challenge to Motorola Europe:
Show that you love your customers this Valentine's Day by unlocking our bootloaders. Start with the Milestone A853, as we've been waiting the longest, and then work your way through all the phones you've abandoned already, followed by those which you still claim to support at present.

I believe that, given an unlocked bootloader, the community could do what you say you couldn't, and get at least 2.1 (probably 2.2 or 2.3) running nicely on the CLIQ XT MB501 - along with updates for the other phones you've abandoned.

If you can't/won't support the phones you make and sell, at least let the community try to support them for you - there's a willing and able community out there, but you prevent them from making your phones live up to their true potential by preventing them from providing the support/updates that you don't.

Note: This challenge has also been posted on the Motorola Europe Facebook discussion pages, and the Motorola Europe Facebook wall. I'm reposting it here in the hopes that the more public I can make it (i.e. not hidden within Facebook), the more attention it'll get and the more pressure it'll put on Motorola Europe. Please feel free to link to or repost this challenge elsewhere.
