Weekend Open Forum: Do you jailbreak/root your smartphone?

Jailbroke my friends iphone at the weekend. I never used one at all before then.

Did not like the way you have to sign in to download the free apps on app store. Very hard if you have a friend who cant remember his password or email adress.

Did not like the way you have to sign in to sync your phone with itunes, My pc was unauthorised and therefore could not back anything up, Making jailbreaking it a very risky prospect.

Everything in this phone seems nailed down.

Not any more ofc, I got cydia. and ifun box after a little research

AT&T Galaxy S2 running Unnamed v 2.2.1 - much better than stock.

I have a rooted Android

I own iPhone 4 and iPad 2, neither is "jailbroken". I'm quite happy with them as they are, I don't see a reason for jailbreaking them, but maybe because I'm not much of enthusiast, I use them in my work, a bit out of the "breaking my toys" age. Or maybe because I respect Apple too much, I don't know. It's nice to have a well made computer device that works for once without clutches and enemas and you know that no virus or pirated software can get into it... So much work is put into it, so much thought and the whole "ecosystem" as they call it - brilliant, no piracy, no malware, no self-installing toolbars... Paradise, really, comparing to hell I've been through with my PCs for the past 20 years... It's a bit like having a wife that loves and respects you, cooks and washes your shirts and wants to please you, and although it is perfectly legal to cheat on her, it's just ... not only ungrateful, you know, but you just don't feel like doing it. Even if there are forums on how to cheat on wives, why do it if you're so happy at home? iPad is not a wife, of course, but it was made (as most things Apple) with a lot of respect to me, the customer, and I'm grateful to people who made it, by being loyal. So I suppose that, apart from not wanting to waste time on that jailbreaking, it's a matter of principle to me.
