i think unlocking the bootloader officially would make u lose all of that and even the warranty. but at least they provided a safe way to do that. if one is incline to do it. a lot of device dont even have that option.
rooting would not. so far by using sony, i think rooting method availability is quite fast. i think by 4.3 sony would. run pure AOSP. personally, i think sony is doing a morally correct implementation with android their device are cheap and beautiful. so thats why i love them so much.
as for note 3, i think samsung use a proprietary usb connection that compatable with normal usb but may support device or docking stuff.like the S4,its an improvement but nothing revolutionary. as for the company, i think little by little they are becoming more and more evil like sony onces were.
Agree on the improving open-ness, it is a good thing.
No, Samsung Note 3 is a bog-standard microusb 3.0 connector. Since the
standard is backwards compatible with USB 2.0, you can plug in your current microusb cable into the micro-B section of the connector.
See Note 3 post 2 and you will understand.
The only evil is by necessity due to corporate security requirements, for the Knox implementation of SELinux. I do not have enough details yet.
