I agree - I will give all the slack in the world to the awesome devs and rom chefs on here that do what the do for the love or for REAL donations- but as soon as you REQUIRE payment for functionality - make no mistake they are doing this - you are a vendor. With this comes certain responsibilities - customer service and a product that WORKS.

These guys are screwing a lot of people out of money with no functionality and no answers to emails and requests in many cases. I have enjoyed and appreciated their work in the past, but this system is flawed and takes them from the realm of cool laid-back tinkerers to scam artists. I have no doubt this was not their intention, but it is the outcome. I received a replacement TP2 from VZW and I am not even bothering unlocking. I figure that it is the only option I have as I do not have the knowledge to unlock on my own and I don't trust these guys now that I have watched my brother email and PM for over a month.

Yes it is only $6 - no I am not THAT cheap (most of the time) - but these guys are now software vendors charging for what is most likely illegal software and I am staying away from it. (PS I agree it should not be illegal, but it still is and charging for it makes this even worse)

Also who cares if others make money off of this software - they are charging for the service and the know-how of unlocking - anyone who is willing to pay one of these guys to unlock and flash for them is not gonna find it themselves anyway. I just find it funny and hypocritical that guys who worked hard to find a way around what is basically harwdware copy protection are now basically copy protecting their work. Bad Form. Either unlock or make your stuff work at least 90% of the time.
