Today is the first day I have investigated such a thing. I've been busy playing with all the cool themes and apps and such ya find all throughout this truely wonderful (ppc)geek-toyland utopia. (building a donation list for the things I like and plan on using from now on. I change very little once I test everything and see what I will use, I just changed from a moto razr V3M, sticking with what works isn't a problem for me)

I've read this thread beginning to end, and from all I've seen, and all I've acomplished on my phone up to this point, I'm unsure I even wanna install this code. I haven't contacted them about a fresh unlock once I replace the phone. It wasn't until reading the thread I realized the process to unlock these phones was gimped by commercial aspirations. From what I learned, once an attempt to contact them is made it will be a few days (debatable on how many days) before a reply is made (definately not commercial level support). There were more current posts here than that, so this is where I posted my thoughts/feelings/concerns about all I learned in the nearly hundred pages of this thread. I thought maybe some public outcry would rush things on this relaxing of the ridiculous one phone per person rule. Heck, during the (giveaway) sale I saw a family of 5 get the last 4 TP2s that store had from the shipment mine arrived in (they would have gotten 5 if there were that many in the store). These guys could easily raise it that high (4) and prevent 99% of all commercial uses. The way it is now, they're even preventing those that they advertise it being for (free for personal use) from using it.

I was going to unlock and play with a few ROMs today, and if they got a shipment in tomorrow (or whenever), relock, return, and if the experience was plesant, maybe continue said playing and testing on the new phone till I find my sweet spot. After reading tho, I'm unsure whether these guys are actually out to help the community or themselves. With a phone that was as sweet as it needs to be straight out of the box, I don't know if it's worth playing games with folk who advertise free for personal use and restrict usage to the point users have issues using it at all, all the while using a data collection method to perform their usage restrictions that is collecting data that they have absolutely no business with...

People who are so untrusting and worried they'll get screwed out of a "donation" for commercial uses that they will hinder the basic operation of their own work should cause concern in any rational person of these guy's overall trustworthiness.

Not making any form of accusation, it's most likely they simply wanted money for their effort and there is nothing wrong with that, the round about back handed way they go about it is...
