Rooted: Not everything works. You need to stay on the threads to see what "tweaks" need to be done. Camera doesn't work at full capacity, no 4G, Google Maps doesn't work perfectly, little stuff that all gets fixed eventually.
Stock: Everything works. Both cams, Google maps, etc. etc. etc.
Last time I rooted was OMJ's 08/13 update and it worked very well. Small camera prob, but it was easily corrected.
Rooted: If your phone gets fried, you are S.O.L.
Stock: Phone got fried? Here's a replacement, it's still under warranty.
Who am I kidding. I'm going to get bored with my replacement EVO (original got stolen) and root it
