Anybody else worried that we'll never get S-off? I am not a dev just the guy who buys them a beer or a soda, so I can't make any demands but im getting nervous.

it'll happen. When? Nobody knows. I'm not too sure who's working on it. I'll tell you one thing, the manufacturers aren't making it any easier as time goes on.
I just hope Verizon didn't lock it down too badly. I would hate to have a Droid X situation on this thing. I loved ICS on the Nexus and would've kept it if it was just a bit smaller. IMO the rezound is the perfect size.
Not enough is said about the Rezound being far easier to handle than the Thurnderbolt due to the aspect ratio of the screen. I love this phone but don't love Sense anymore. I liked Sense back when 2.2 was stock Android...
Unrelated, my battery life has been awful. I just switched from High Performance mode to Normal (didn't know it existed til just now) it turned off always on data- not sure if that's all it does but I need my always on data so I'll have to see if I keep it in this mode.
Actually, it's quite the opposite. It's pretty clear, a vast majority of OEMs are onboard, they don't have notable concerns about it. They've all, pretty much, gone on the record w/ their stances on the issue in recent times. So don't place blame on those peeps, the carriers foot the blame almost exclusively. HtcDevs just released 9 of them last week for their newest batch of releases and there's early custom ICS roms up and running on some of them already. The only ones MIA were per Verizons' request. Change the carrier stance and we can have android utopia instead of fragmented offshoot communities. That's proving to be just as tough a task as hacking an encrypted bootloader.
What I'm saying is that the manufacturers aren't making it easy per Verizon's request.

It's not S-Off but HTC Dev is now allowing the Rezound to use the unlocker at htcdev.com. Hurry before they change their minds.
Whoa holy crap! I headed straight to XDA to see what the buzz was about. You're right.
So...we should be able to flash roms now, correct?
I'm about to jump on this, but the factory reset has me feeling like it's not worth it.
I tried it. Fried BT as expected. Rebooted and BT is back. Root is still there. This agent is happy.
I assume this is you over on XDA, same alias. You used zerg rush to get root, then rebooted and root stuck correct? I'm a constant BT user, stream from the Rezound to my car stereo, and BT is necessary lol
