Purchased it from at&t without looking into it first. They make you buy the phone now by hiding the cost in your bill for 24 payments. Don't get me wrong, I love the phone but, If I knew I was going to pay full price I would have purchased it from another place with a unlocked bootloader and sim. I upgraded from the Skyrocket with Cyanogenmod 11 and loved flashing new roms. A little disappointed but had root that weekend and used titanium backup to re-install everything from my Skyrocket. Going good so far. Great powerful phone.
