Verizon might be up to some some shenanigans or it's just one clueless employee on Twitter.



I'm leaning towards clueless as the OG Droid, OG Incredible and Fascinate all had unlocked bootloaders.

Definitely clueless. They don't have any idea unless they outright block the phones from the network, which they can't very well advertise a phone on their network then not activate it because it has an open bootloader.

Yup, looks like that was a misunderstanding.

Correction>> You CAN activate your HTC device with an unlocked bootloader on our network, we apologize for the confusion.
