Motorola: While the Motorola PHOTON 4G software does not include an unlockable/relockable bootloader, we intend to include this feature in software releases starting in late 2011 where operator and channel partners will allow it. Apologies for any confusion.
This does not mean they will unlock the Atrix bootloader

That would probably be one of the major selling points of the incoming Motorola handsets in late 2011, so we can expect unlockable software on Atrix after approximately 3 to 6 months?

Never knows but for now no more motorola for me, the thing its I love htc but they don't make so many phones for at&t bands that are for ny country so I'm kind stuck.
Perhaps a new light appear,i will transfer ny data plan(stupid carrier its expensive cancel the contract) now I need sell my atrix and buy the evo 3D
Thanks motorola I trust in you...
Don't take me wrong I do like the phone, its amazing fast,i like entertainment center.but I don't like what motorola do to keep customers...not sure if they will unlock bootloader late like they said I don't trust anymore

Is the Evo 3d locked too? I assume that's the phone people on Sprint will be buying either way.

People on Sprint would have bought it regardless. Just because it has the word EVO in it.
But HTC caved and is unlocking bootloaders.

Waiting for the HTC Sensation to support the bands used by major Canadian providers (850/1900). As soon as it drops I'm getting rid of my Atrix!

Read it again, buddy. I'm waiting for a version to be released that has 850/1900 3G bands. I'm scouring the internet waiting to hear more news about the Sensation or Evo 3D to be released with these bands for 3G so I can ditch the Atrix.
This is a great phone and all but I only got it to tide me over until something better came along. I had an HTC Desire Z before. And I liked it a lot better than the Atrix. Ah well... hopefully I don't have to wait much longer. I'd keep this phone if the bootloader were unlocked but it looks like there isn't much promise (yes, following the threads in the Dev forum but it looks like a ways off still).

Oh sorry I miss read, yeah I'm young that too since I have no more options in carrier seems I can get the evo working so I will jump from the boat, I take this because power of 2 cores and promise from moto to work in bootloader, the phone its great but stuck in froyo until moto wants, and when we get gb, we must wait to see ice cream when with unlocked bootloader we can have ics no more moto for me

Hey guys - I'm pretty new on this xda forum and was just wondering if the above "subject" line is possible??? I have searched online and have found no source. I know Verizon uses CDMA network whereas Tmobile uses GSM but maybe if a device can be unlocked that it'll make this possible? I greatly appreciate a feedback. Thanks!
There's no way. You answered your own question in the original post. If you unlock it you can only use it with GSM based carriers.

this can techncialy not work as the Optimus T only comes with the GSM or CDMA chip unlike the new iPhone which has both included.
The Optimus T is not a bad entry phone but considering that Android 4 is out and I am not sure if the Optimus will ever have it maybe look for a different more modern cheap phone to run Android on T Mobiles cheap prepaid plans
Will moto release gsm version of maxx?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
I don't see why not.
It's the same as the Razr. Different battery and back.
I don't see why they would myself as the battery life is excellent with the gsm model especially with the 2.3.6 update. I think it was needed with the LTE version as 4G really drinks the juice. I have no problem getting 1.5 - 2 days with moderate usage and GPS, wifi all enabled and music playing to and from work etc

You fool I need two batteries to get trough the day with my HTC Desire, (3-4 hours calling, 50+ sms, 50+ email, navigation, browsing, music, games,...) so I really need a MAXX type phone. If they bring it out, i'll be the first to buy one. I would never buy a normal RAZR, as it's not that special, but that battery life defenately is. So Moto, if you read this: PLEASE make a GSM version.

That's a bit harsh! - Aren't we all friends here?
If you don't think the Razr is that special then why bother with the Maxx when you can get extended batteries with larger covers to accommodate most smartphones for a reasonable price?
That way you can get a phone that you DO think is special and that suits your needs for battery life.
Thanks. I realy wish they release it sooner.
I have a sensation and note, but the sensation battery sucks specialy when i run.
I think waiting for droid maxx or buying sensation xe edition.

Dear Mr xxx,
Thank you for contacting Motorola.
We are very sorry to inform you that there is no plans regarding the release of the Motorola Razr Maxx in Europe.
Regarding your second question, if you are a developer we would like to recommend you the Motorola Razr Dev, however please keep in mind that this phone comes with no warranty. You can buy it from the following link:

Well you can buy one for Europe. A Gsm version has been made
Ask us any Android Related Question @FeraLabsDevs on Twitter
Where you can buy that in Europe?
And is there an official release that it's available for GSM? As China has CDMA also.

Yes, I understand that.
But where does it say there is a GSM version in China? The press release doesn't mention anything like this (or I've read the wrong press release).
I'm in a dilemma in whether if I should buy the international version with the superior performing Exynos, or the US version with Snapdragon S4 with LTE. Although I've heard that one cannot really notice the performance difference in every day uses, I would like to go for the device with the best compatibility with the biggest development community. Please vote on which one would you be consider getting, as of now before either devices are released.
Please do NOT call yourself a developer unless you are capable of creating low level releases such as kernels and ROM. App developers and people who thinks they knows a lot about technology doesn't count.
its a little too soon to tell. i am still not totally convinced that the us is going to be stuck with the krait. att for one might work it with the exynos (you should change the tegra3 before you get pounced)... that is of course if the rumors are true that bell canada is gonna do lte with the quad.
personally i dont need lte and it is doubtful that att will have lte in nashville before my yearly upgrade. so i definitely want the quad core chip that samsung designed the phone around vs the krait that wasnt.

ive got an itch to run and get the hox. but i cant until i know what gs3 att is going to get... and when. i sure would love to take the hox for a 29 day spin b4 i buy samsungs latest version of goodness.
USA version chimes with exynos. It's the same that Rogers is getting. Atleast Att will get it.

AT&T will find a way to ruin the phone. There is no way in hell i'm getting a tainted version
will Samsung sell the unlocked version here in the USA?
International for me no brainer. It will already be unlocked, will get the most developers and Cyanogenmod soonest, generally better resale value (of course, I don't get the subsidies, but I don't have to sign a contract either).
I won't feel too bad if I found out the American version with S4 chip would be faster or at least have better battery life.

nope. the carriers will not allow it. there is always amazon and ebay.
International version is not an option for me (no GSM coverage) so I have to wait for Sprint/Verizon to launch it. I am not happy about that
International version - I live in Europe...
I'm upset though that I'll have to wait a bit longer for the 32GB version as it won't be available in my country right away (or it will be overpriced)
Sometimes living in Central Europe sucks

International doesn't mean it's for a country other than your own, it means that it's for multiple countries.
Thus, it's the international.
Just want honest opinion don't care about price or weather I have LTE on it I have the EVO LTE but also want the s3 .
Issue is I really don't want another contract with sprint .
So I'm leaning to the interational one its my first int device and like the community but the two gigs ram is attractive
Thanks people
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
since u were nice enough to pm, i'll answer and I think u should do the US version, it's gonna have the dual core which outshines the current quad cores, plus you would have working LTE here instead a slower data, assuming you live in the states, and witht he 2gb of ram, can't really see a reason to go international...
I'm in the same boat but you need to factor in faster dev support on the int compared to the US. If you're a constant flasher like myself, its a hard decision to make.
Here are my pros (YMMV)
Int:
Quad Core
Better GPU
32/64gb int storage (I believe there are 32gb flavors out there)
faster dev support
US:
LTE
2GB
cheaper (i believe full retail is 549.99 or 599.99, correct me if I'm wrong)
I'm in Canada and decided to go LTE because it should still be able to work in Europe when I go. But it has better hardware.
The downside to the international in NA you will be stuck on the EDGE/CDMA network, which is a major downside.

the international phone is GSM, won't work on Sprint. why not just get the phone from sprint off contract?
Just curious as it's not mentioned. With the Sprint release on the 21st, will you still be in 30 day return window on your EVO LTE?
If not get the Sprint SGSIII.

Well at the time the off contract was not available yet it is but thinking its near impossible to get a good price if u want to sell a us version phone without taking a huge hit eg if I want to sell after 14 days yea I can put it at its close to full price but cutting contract is a major drop many more people in my experience buy unlocked devices myself included I'm hating sprint service over all on the lte and epic touch is horrid in the new England area .
I got both cause I will let my gf use the us one maybe lol but as of now I'd rather play with the over clocking and roms in the international forums .
Dev support should be great but as u see in the us sgs2 we are still using repacked stock kernels ..
To many politics over here thus why people say the int version will have more support .. I'm not sure that's true I mean numbers don't lie us and Canada are gonna be big on the dev scene but updates and proper source plague us in the us
