Romain---So for this case would an unlocked boot loader be adequate? I seem to remember in buying the Nexus One that you could pay more for a phone with root access, and this seemed to be something beyond just an unlocked phone. Nathan----as for tethering, I think their game is that they make you pay extra to tether. That was one of the advantages of having unlocked Nexus One----free tethering!
