Cool. But, which repair centre has the contract for bricked phones. In Europe only one place has the vendor key thing if you fuck up while flashing the device, they won't let users or other repair places have it so I assume it works the same in the US.

If I needed a new phone, I might get one of these. Repairable phones are cool.
