The bootloader should be unlockable all the same. They're not going to go in and lock down the bootloader on phones after they've shipped. T-Mobile will give you the unlock codes if you're a customer.

Hell, I bought a G1 and wanted to unlock it to sell to some guy and all I had to do was get a family friend with a T-Mobile to call up and ask for the unlock code for a phone with ID blah-blah-blah. They handed it right over. T-Mobile is VERY reasonable about this kind of stuff.

Hm. Same with Sprint.

I walked right in one of the stores and asked for my MSL for my phone. They looked at me and said "If you use it, we're not responsible for what happens. That could mean bricking". After I agreed, he wrote it down.

2 hours later, at a Windows programming machine, I loaded up QPST and changed the tethered NAI so now my machines can get online easily (without using tethering programs as a shim).
