says who? htc, motorola and others release their unlocked bootloaders and warranties aren't voided. warranties are voided only when u root the phone which is different from unlocking the bootloader. more so they dont uninstall existing apps when u unlock the bootloader.
Obviously u don know what is bootloader .
Please read the very basic thing before post .
Don even mention "i wan try stuff stuff stuff " when you don even understand what is "bootloader"
The first tread after you try watever stuff you said is
HELP MY PHONE IS BRICKED !!

Did i say that the phone needs to be unlocked for it to work perfectly?
I'm not trying to start a war/argument here but please READ through the links you just posted yourself before posting them..
from the xda link regarding htc
no where in section 7 does it say it will be voided by unlocking the bootloader. on the jayceooi link in the comments section
Hmmm i think is true for most android phones? Warranty void when rooting, custom rom.. etc

you’re right jayce..sony's warranty voidance is applying to BOTH SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE (read the link posted by junsheng) ... i went to sony center in times square get the xperia ion cos i read in a topic here that it was available in malaysia, i got there and the attendant told me that only the xperia s was available i didn't want to buy b'cos i didn't know anything about it. i decided to check here first for opinions and someone is saying that unlocking his bootloader
wiped all his apps. and then in addition warranty voided for both hardware and software? I like to have my bootloader unlocked so that i can try stuff with my phone.. if i wanted a "prison" phone then yes that won't be an issue now would it?

different strokes for different folks... i'm glad this forum exists as i now know not to get the phone, is that a bad thing?
As i say , you need to read . ( alot )
The only device which allow warranty after you unlock bootloader is OUYA .
And , most of the phone after 2011 is come with locked bootloader .
