What is the actual official purpose of ADPs? Does that purpose include
allowing the re-flashing of an ADP for development purposes?
If so then is there a reason the bootloader on the ADP3 is locked,
shouldn't it be unlocked?
Or is there a method of reflashing where the bootloader doesn't have
to be unlocked?

Thanks

Security. If every consumer N1 shipped with an unlocked bootloader,
anyone with physical access to that device could have access to its
content by reflashing a system image on it. That's why unlocking the
bootloader also wipes the device.

Yes but the N1 is no longer a consumer phone, it is now an ADP. Hence
my question was about it
as an ADP not as a consumer phone.

Actually since posting this question Google have updated their
webpage, previously it used
to say the bootloader was locked now it says its unlocked.

Nexus One is actually still sold as a consumer phone is several countries.

Besides that aspect, keeping the developer phones as close as possible
to the retail phones mean that they can be supported better.

Thanks,
