**Edit- scroll to the bottom for latest info**

OK, just passing along what I have found, all credit to the individual developers. The following links have step by step instructions to unlock your bootloader, install CWM Recovery, and then flash HTKW 2.3.4 Gingerbread. Also steps for root and some nice add-ons. Enjoy, venture at your own risk, I am up and running with no issues.

There is a CWM flashable zip file of HTKW 2.3.4 floating around, don't waste your time. There are lots of bugs in it, and the above steps are easy and bug free.

Pretty sure first post has a custom recovery so you can do true nandroid backups without being tethered to a AC charger, a Gingerbread 2.3.4 ROM, oh and some other theme mods to do to the ROM.

Sounds like it had a nice amount of **** in the 48ish hours since being unlocked.

The point is to be ready when Cyanogen adds us to the supported device list.

The only thing thats holding me back from unlocking is the question, is it permanent
Can I lock the bootloader with a flash?

[gvndeb60]

At this time I believe it is permanent. I am not sure if in the future it will be lockable again.

OK, I by no means am guaranteeing anything....but if you cracked or dropped it in water it wouldnt boot/work properly so they would not be able to see the unlocked screen during the boot up process so you would be fine. In that scenario you would be paying your deductible though. The downside would be if you bricked your phone(no physical damage) you would not normally have a deductible, but they could get you saying you voided your warranty by unlocking. i have not had that problem before, they normally dont care, but others have had issues.
