this probably means that the Razr HD will have an unlockable bootloader too.

I guess your warenty is now voided from Moto once you unlock the bootloader

eh, everybody says that. i'd think twice about unlocking it but if you did unlock it and something happened and you called the carrier about it, it would probably show up on their screens but unless you got like a real stickler rep then i don't think they'll raise hell about it or anything. i'm pretty sure i've sent Verizon rooted phones in the past and i haven't gotten any bills for my replacements ever.

Duck the warranty... Moto first unlock the International RazrMAXX phones' bootloader...
I doubt they will do the same for Verizon devices... But Atrix series from AT&T and Photon series from Sprint may have good luck...

"The tablets include the Motorola XOOM for Verizon and the Wi-Fi version of the tablet."

XOOM Tablet is more or less a NEXUS device wrt HoneyComb (First HC device)... So this is a good exception in Verizon's case... But I will be very happy, if I am proved wrong by BigRed in future...

yeah, I know that but the XOOM has often times been "

Moto and verizon both claim that rooting and what not voids your warranty, but I've found if you have a hardware problem they'll still hook up the replacement.

Im sure it doesnt void your warranty unless the phone issue is caused by the unlock/root. Probably works like a warranty on a prebuilt PC like an HP or Dell, where putting in upgrades doesnt void the warranty, but they wont fix if the issue is caused by the upgrade.

Well, if moto ask for your device id using this process, they may have a way to flag your phone in their database - the XDA devs will still find a way to lock the bootloader back up....and unlocking the bootloader does mean your phone is ruined...unless you do not know what you are doing, and even then, having the BL unlocked will just make it easier to fix it back up. I know someone is working on a BL workaround - KEXEC
