Here is a statement Motorola released pertaining to the DROID 2.
Sounds like they baited all us "hackers" into the Driod world with the ability to do custom roms and kernels, and now they are taking it all away from now on. Thats why the DROID had the vanilla android 2.1, and the next generation driods will have blur on them. Damn you motorola.
“We understand there is a community of developers interested in going beyond Android application development and experimenting with Android system development and re-flashing phones. For these developers, we highly recommend obtaining either a Google ADP1 developer phone or a Nexus One, both of which are intended for these purposes. At this time, Motorola Android-based handsets are intended for use by consumers and Android application developers, and we have currently chosen not to go into the business of providing fully unlocked developer phones.
Securing the software on our handsets, thereby preventing a non-Motorola ROM image from being loaded, has been our common practice for many years. This practice is driven by a number of different business factors. When we do deviate from our normal practice, such as we did with the DROID, there is a specific business reason for doing so. We understand this can result in some confusion, and apologize for any frustration.”
