I loved my V3m back in the day and would do all the SEEM edits and replace the locked-down Verizon firmware with the fully-featured USCC version for my friends. Good times. Who besides Verizon would put Bluetooth behind a paywall? :sigh:

Anyway, I'm about 2 years overdue in replacing my current daily driver. Wonder what the odds are that the Razr Plus is both bootloader unlockable and will (eventually) be supported by LineageOS?

Motorola is decent about unlocking but developing for foldable is effort-requiring, maybe Google will help in order to push its own foldables

V3i gang checking in. Rhythm lights were my jam! Useless, but still my jam!

bootloader on the razr+ is easily unlockable! Moto's been pretty good about that

Good to know, thanks!

Ive been intrigued by foldables but have been waiting for the durability kinks to be worked out before indulging. Gonna probably wait a bit longer until there's some decent de-googled ROMs available before I dive in.

I think the kinks have been worked out. Samsung is on it's fifth generation of foldables already and Motorola has made multiple as well that haven't been released in the states. No idea about the custom ROMs though.

that magenta pink color hits different.

Hey this is really fun you should buy it now.

I came really close to giving it a try. My two biggest gripes were that the unfolded size was too big and the leather back wasn't standard.

I still kinda miss the first gen throwback design... They could've updated that design... Atleast try πŸ₯Ή
