I buy and sell smartphones frequently secondhand on ebay. Rooting allows you peace of mind, when phones are sold as "locked to a network" because...
a) It means you can snag a bargain by not having to find a phone which matches your current provider
Same. I also jailbroke my (at the time) girlfriend's iPod Touch. I restored my iPod Touch and returned it within the 30 days though because I wanted the money instead.technochicken said:

I hate to break this too ppl who root/jailbreak their phones. DOING IT VOIDS THE WARRENTY!!
If you do this you void any manufacter or extended warrenty. I had to find this out the hard way. If you do root/jailbreak your phone and you break it, prepare to pay full price to replace it. Cellphone companies take a VERY firm stance on rooting and jailbreaking. And god help you if your still under contract when you break it. They wont replace it. And you either continue to pay for a service you cant use or eat a hefty 300$+ Early Termination Fee. IF you want to root or jailbreak your phone PLS PLS PLS wait till you are available to get an upgrade on your phone. Then do it.
