Unlike any other Samsung Galaxy S III variation, Verizon's model comes with a locked bootloader. That basically keeps you from doing any modding on your device. No custom ROMs, no custom kernels, the likes. Of course, when asked about this, the carrier will say that it's for your own protection. You'll be the judge of how accurate that description is.
To appease the angry masses, Samsung announced a special ‘developer edition‘ of Verizon's Galaxy S III that would come with an unlocked (or unlockable) bootloader. The catch? You'll need to pay $599 for that particular SKU.
