Greetings:

I recently switched from iphone 3Gs to Android Community.
I ordered an unlocked Nexus One from Google store and just got it on Friday
Since I had my iphone Jailed Broken and freedom is important to me, I decided to follow the same route. My questions:

-My phone being an Unlocked version, do I still have to unlock the my Bootloader?

-Should I wait till there are more Custom Roms for N1 out there?
-Anything else I should be aware of?

Would appreciate any input.
Thank you for looking.
 
-My phone being an Unlocked version, do I still have to unlock the my Bootloader?

Uhhhm, yes. "Unlocked" just means you can use it with any carrier. An unlocked bootloader is something completely different. Take a look here for instructions. Probably a tad bit more involved than pressing "Make it rain," but nothing too tough.

-Should I wait till there are more Custom Roms for N1 out there?

What for? There're currently several custom ROMs available already, all of them of high quality and stable. Try this forum.

-Anything else I should be aware of?

If flashing a radio image, be careful, as that's the only thing that can brick your N1.
