Thanks Mark! Also thanks for the warning about the phone getting wiped, but I'm not too worried about that. All my stuff like emails, photo's etc are stored in the cloud anyway. The rest is just a matter of re-installing the correct apps.
The logic here, is that if somebody steals your phone, they cannot gain access to your stuff without knowing your lock code. If the bootloader is already unlocked, they can. So unlocking the bootloader wipes the phone to protect your stuff.
With a bit of luck, if you have Google Sync enabled for everything, the phone will automatically reinstall most of your apps and settings when you set it up from scratch again. The home screens and widgets will not be arranged correctly though.
Cheers
