yeah that is my though. Hell I find it funny that they seem to think you HAVE to put a custom rom on your phone. Sorry but nope. MOst people do not. I have zero interest in putting a custom rom on my Galaxy Nexus. Hell I have not even bothered rooting it yet. Now I do need to get around to rooting it but I just do not have the motivation to do it and there really not much I use that requires root. THe biggest thing I am missing is the ad blocking software I ran.
Coming from android to this iPhone was a major eye opener. Out the box Android wins hands down to me, but once jail broken though the iPhone can hold its own. (power user).
