I think myself that it is our phone especially if you did not get a discount on it and paid full price and we thus should be able to place a custom rom on the phone. The only issue i could think of with custom roms are with Microsoft, but M$ might live with us since i think they use us here as unoffical beta testers... I would hate to see ms go the way of apple and make it harder to modify our phones....
This is too much. How about personal repsonsibility, why does everything have to be someone else's fault? I feel like this thread is getting silly with paranoia and what if thoughts. The original question was answered already so why are we still digging?
