I see. I guess my biggest concern is I want a phone that works correctly and does everything appropriately right out of the box. I spent many days on wm learning how to install Roms and install various programs and making registry edits to make them work how I want.

I am not looking to tinker nearly as much with my next phone and was making sure I can accomplish everything a general user wants by merely downloading apps and not having to root.

However, it seems that rooting is almost a must do thing to get better apps, free wifi sharing, screen captures, battery adjustments, and overall better system performance. I know a lot of users like to tinker, but I've hit the point to where I want something that will just work as it should out of box, and I want to make sure android can.
