Z3c also has the "bootloader unlock permanently borks your camera" problem

Have you used anything by Sony? The hardware is pretty excellent but the software is very Sony - the music player is the Walkman, and there's a Sony movie app. It's all about the Sony eco-system - which I can understand, and maybe would do it if I were them - but you can't delete anything and all of that crapware-equivalent-apps sort of gets in the way of using other apps.

Yes, and I like their apps. Relatively sleek and simple compared to Samsungs junk.

How is a smartphone different than a PC? Should Dell never give out Windows admin passwords because some people install malware? That is basically what you are advocating.



Sure. And if I was Apple I would want royalties on every smartphone just cause. Doesn't make it right.

Unfortunately, things are going that way for PCs. If you need to do a fresh install of your new Dell PC, a Dell technician has to come to your house to replace the motherboard because the Windows product key is embedded on the motherboard. Computers are becoming less flexible thanks to Windows 8.
