Comment Re:+1000. Goodbye Moto, Hello HTC (Score 1) 757
I do not know if you are aware but did you check how "easy" it was to mod more recent models such as the HTC Legend and HTC Desire??
Well, let me tell you it is _not_ easy. HTC also implements protections:

and so does any other phone manufacturer for that matter.
So to say that HTC "might be passively encouraging modding" might be a bit overboard...
