Google Nexus 6 Unlockable bootloader?

[Kwdan]

I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere, but do you think the bootloader will be unlockable or locked by the carriers?

Fastboot oem unlock

Nexus bootloaders are always locked but also always unlockable.... Sim card should be also unlocked for any north American carrier no matter where it's bought ....play store or carrier...

Just remember to Do this as soon as you get The phone because it will erase everything on It .....so back up or Do It out the box so you Don't lose something important....

I was just wondering would the carriers mandate That they aren't so easily unlockable To prevent tethering.

Look up how to unlock bootloader on any nexus been the same all the way back to og nexus .... It comes locked but only have to install android sdk and use fastboot to unlock .... It will then completely wipe the phone but thats no problem if you don't have all kinds of things on It ... Thats why it's better to unlock The bootloader when you unbox it before you have lots on it ...Google won't let carriers lock and encrypt The bootloaders as it's still considered a development phone ...
