Obviously it wasn't the only feature that mattered, though? I mean, you're complaining about another feature right now. =) Like, I'm sympathetic, but this is a solvable problem with the information at hand. Buy phones with unlocked bootloaders. (As it happens, this is why I steer clear of Verizon...)
