if you unlock the bootloater you

1) will lose the DRM files FOREVER apps like trackID will not work again

2) you must relock the bootloader to use SUS or PCC (you can NOT restore the DRM files)

3) you could damage your phone permanently

4) if by unlocking it something goes wrong you will void your warranty
