Petition? - Motorola Photon 4G

I know this sounds dumb but some say that this phone is set for failure due to it not having a unlock bootloader well what if we start a petition and let Motorola know what we want?
I'm just saying this because I see some people say is development going to pick up or not or some say well this other phone is better because now it's unlocked ...
With that said in a short time I have come to realize that it takes time and well I remember that a petition worked for another phone.

The phone has been out for less than two weeks and people are already acting like the phone is headed towards failure because of the bootloader and a couple of minor issues that Motorola is working on.

Yea I agree with you.
And that's why instead of seeing more people complaining about it then how bout the try to do something about it and well a petition was my suggestion.
And like I said I read a article in engadget were owners of this one phone all made a petition and the manufacturer responded to them.
I want to say it was for the Motorola X... But not sure...
And while on the topic anyone know how to start a cyber petition?

I think that as processing power and overall I/O performance continues to increase with smartphones, the hypervisor idea that VMware is developing has the potential to be a game changer. I've been using VMware in some form since the early stages and at first it was limited by the current hardware technology at that time. As hardware specifications got better, so did the product. Now I couldn't imagine not having it in my data center. With a platform like this on a smartphone it would do several things. It would allow someone to easily run their own custom OS without modifying the "factory install " but more importantly it could provide one standardized hardware platform no matter what the underlying hardware configuration was. I would love to be able to develop one ROM that would run on 10 different devices without any additional modifications needed. That is my perfect world and with VMware and the performance potential of the dual core processors I think you are going to be seeing some real game changing technology over the next few years.

While that is a good read, I do believe the online/social blitz petitions was quite helpful in regards to HTC to unlocing their bootloader, or at least in them responding to the development community and creating that HTC Dev site that would facilitate those wanted to unlock their devices.
Even though Motorola is not HTC, I do hope that Moto does listen and make it happen.
