This is only on the Droid X, I've Bootloaded my Droid many times and a
friends Incredible.  Mine is rooted right now as we speak with 2.1 and
Rooted.  To say all Motorola phones are bad is like saying all Dells are bad
or all Macs are bad

Just my 2 cents

Do I agree with what motorola has done?  No, the Droid platforms have been
marketed as open source yet carriers ATT on the Back Flip have hobbled or
locked the phones or Motorola Land mining theirs.
