I'm gonna run right out and buy this puppy...

Oh, wait. No I'm not, since the devs at XDA unlocked the bootloader on the Verizon GS3 a month ago. Nice try, Verizon, but XDA>your sorry ass.

Yeah, using the PC program you can easily root the SGG III, and then use the EZ Unlock app to unlock or relock the bootloader in one click.

The thing we should worry about when it comes to flashing and modding is them flash counters... a sales rep at verizon can easily scan if the phone's been flashed. So this Dev Version may not have that boot flash counter...

Even if the Dev-Ed phone lacks flash-counter its useless, as it has almost NO warranty...

It would be so crummy if devs from xda only bought these dev phones. So many of us would be screwed.

That's funny that unlocking it will void the warranty. That's the whole point. Why even offer it with a warranty at all? Nobody buys this developer's version to not unlock it. Stupid. I'll take a 32.

Being that it's a "Developer Edition" phone, they shouldn't even lock the bootloader. And to void the warranty? On a phone that's sole purpose is development? RIDICULOUS!!!
