Sony, it's not fair! Sony is selling unlocked Z3 starting from today!

While we are locked and afraid of unlocking our bootloaders for decreasing camera quality ( meaning no root ), Sony has started selling unlocked Z3 from today!!

How about us with locked bootloaders? It's not fair!

There was a similar post long ago, movistar and it was not until movistar allowed users to unlock their bootloaders, you can read about it here

Thanks for the info, but I've pretty much been through all of that.  I'm stuck at the "Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No" phase and it just doesn't seem fair.  

I understand the risks, always have.  I've always been at the bleeding edge of tech and just want to be checking out the cool new features of Android 5 on my cool new Xperia Z3 (**bleep**, I bought it for the Remote Play feature that just came out 2 weeks ago).  I've always been an intrepid soul when it came to technology and if it breaks... I see it as just another game to get it working again.  

I guess I have to relegate my self to the flock with this piece though and wait until Sony or T-Mobile or whomever tells me it's safe to upgrade.  Which, judging by Sony's timeframe with the PS4 2.0 firmware update, could be a long while.

keep in mind that when 5.0 is released, it will have to be re-tested by Tmobile, which will add their bloatware and boot animations and then released, so it will be up to them, T-mobile USA, approved and release the update.

Wow man, I was disappointed before, but you're just filling me with encouragement. 🙂
