According to Engadget it appears that HTC will be shipping yet another device with its bootloader on lock down. The HTC Evo 3D will join that of the Thunderbolt, Incredible S and the Sensation 4G. However, to give you some glimpse of hope, earlier today HTC stated on their Facebook page that they are in the process of “reviewing the issue and our policy around bootloaders”. Hey, for now, we’ll take it. Hopefully, like AT&T, HTC will listen to what the masses are saying and will reconsider their current position. What do you think? Feel free to plug away in the comments below.

Yes a bootloader can be unlocked with an update polo79.
we should all hope that all manufacturers stop this. I was sad to learn that my motorola atrix is on lockdown at the moment.
I think with enough outcry they will change their minds. Anything to keep you away from apple products.
no longer an HTC fan

If HTC doesnt change this…They are no better than CRAPPLE and will be banished from my home. if its locked then i might as well get a crapple device. Not really..
