Can Someone Please Explain Why The TP2 HSPL Is Taking Longer Then The TP HSPL?

Just curious, if this thread has to be moved or closed down I understand. The only thing I could think of is because of it being CDMA/GSM. All thread-related info is appreciated.

It's done already. The difference this time around is that they are using a license server to make sure people don't abuse it with mass unlocks. That is the part that we are waiting on now.

Am I to understand that the folks who are making unlicensed versions of WinMo and TF3D available via their unlocker are licensing that same unlocker? Is that not a tad bit hypocritical?

Lol I was just thinking the same thing now that I understand what the licensing thing is all about. Does it bother them that much to think someone else may make money off of it? I mean to be honest, I'm sure anyone with any know how of servers could probably just redirect the program to ping a dead server and allow for unlimited unlocks anyway. No offense to olinex, but if Microsoft, Apple and billion dollar conglomerates can't build DRM that won't be broken in 5 minutes I highly doubt they can, despite the pretty chunk of change they've amassed with their projects.

I think the GSM/CDMA posed some of the original issues. I'm not quite sure they are doing this thing with the server though, but that seems to be the most recent hold up.

Two things:
They have to unlock the SIM card which the TP didn't have.
They are licensing the unlocker so that it can't be used to make money by mass unlocking phones.

does licensing mean as in they are going to charge individuals that wish to use it?

Might want to rephrase your question in the subject line--it comes off really forward and aggressive. Granted your actual post is much less hostile, but still...

Anyway, from what I've read, it looks like it's life stuff with the team working on it, so understandable. I haven't been following it terribly close, but I'm guessing this is just a hobby for those folks, so real life stuff should come first. Anyway, I just got my TP2 today (Sprint in-store exchange for TP) so I'm looking forward to HSPL dropping, but it'll happen when it happens.
