I need an unlocked bootloader.
Hah! IMO, you WANT a phone with an unlocked bootloader. I'm not picking nits here, we want what we want.
Insecure email/calendaring, very poor 3rd-party Exchange/EAS support. The only secure means of getting a corporate environment on Android - Good Technology, has taken a nosedive in user experience in the past year. My employees and I often work in client's offices - no Android allowed. Period.
But then you are paying for another line and data plan.
I am, and I don't care. It's an expense work paying for. When I started out in my field in 2000, if something went wrong I had to take a picture, drive to the nearest town, print out a picture, find the nearest Kinkos, print out the picture(s) and a report, find a fax machine, send it to an engineer - all while the contractor was billing $2k an hour and my boss was charging $150 per hour for me. Now, I can leave an iPad with MHS enabled at the site and my bill is far less per month, and there's more profit per project.
I'm heading out of town for 5 days next week. If I needed wifi, I'd use my iPad or a hacked Android phone. I'll bet you my iPad's battery lasts 20 times longer than your phone - I will be away from a "plug" for two days. It's what I need, just like you "need" an unlocked bootloader. You need a margarita (yes, I remember), and I need my Irish whiskey - they're different, but they get us where we need to go...
We are getting the GIGANTIC Nexus on October 30th or thereabouts.
We? As in VZW users, b/c that's what I need... My business partner wants the next greatest Android phone - his VZW GNex died and he's using one of my backup iPhone 5 handsets. He really "needs" an iPhone 6 Plus but we can't get one for him just yet!
