Can I unlock boot loader on non-developer edition? I don't wanna pay $600 on root!?
Before you start doing anything you had better make SURE that you understand what it all means and the ramifications for all of this. Rooting a phone is NOT unlocking the bootloader. From what I understand, as it stands now, putting a new rom on the phone will increment the rom counter. What this means is that if you have an issue with the phone and need to return it or send it in for repair or replacement that they will be able to see that this phone had a new rom installed on it at some time. The counter will even tell them how many times the phone was flashed. Once that happens, you have no warranty whatsoever and there is nothing you can do about it and unrooting and putting the stock rom back on the phone won't change that counter.
You need to be sure that you understand what all this stuff means before doing anything.
point me to a link that shows how someone tried to return their phone but was denied warranty service because they tripped a rom counter....anyone...i'm not buying it.

That's your prerogative. I'd rather be safe than sorry.

At some point will someone come up with away to unlock this Verizon phone or should I return it?
