I think to many times the verge and other tech blogs loss prospective on the wireless space. Locked boat loaders affects what 1 out of 100,000 customers? Its lust like all the rants against sense and touchwize. Your average person only cares about 3 to 4 apps on their phone, Facebook, Calls, Browsers, Angry Birds. They don’t care what os version number they have. They just want a few apps to run. If the Verge wants to push the industry forward start talking \ ranting more on pricing or other items your average customer cares about. This is just another niche nerd blog that will have no impact to regular consumers.
