Seriously HTC? I'm certainly hoping this is BS and not some "well you should buy the developer edition if you want to mess with the device" play...

The 4 applications Calculator, Flashlight, Ringtone Trimmer and Sound Recorder don't seem to be too critical. The more important thing is that the bootloader is unlockable and able to accept custom roms. Keep in mind that the unit reviewed is probably the international version which may be different than the US versions. Once the devices are released in the US, I am sure people will be looking to see if these rumors are true.

I'm hopeful there will be S-OFF for the HTC One and will go that route. The HTC Dev unlocking is a joke anyways.

 

It has already been rooted. Hopefully S-OFF is right around the corner:

yeah, my concern was the comment about not being able to get them back for updates so wonder if you RUU'd if that would also apply....just another pita.
