You don't "have to", some people just think it's fun. The difference is, with Android you're barely missing any functionality if you decide not to root. With windows mobile, you HAVE to have a custom rom to even have a barely functional phone.

see, that is crap, winmo 6.1 with mobile shell was very functional and fast without freezeups, and it was stock.
I went custom because of 6.5.x. Liked the buttons on the bottom. And I would challenge any android phone with similar specs to my touchpro2 to a speed test and see what is faster.

I agree 100%. To claim you "need a custom ROM" to have a functional phone is totally incorrect and very misleading...

Not at all. I consider a functional phone to have such basic features as being able to create start menu folders and rearrange icons without a ****ing regedit.

Anyway, got my incredible. Game over for winmo folks, it's just a beast of a phone.

once again, it is a beast of a phone because it has twice the specs.
here you go, in case you come back.

p.s. I'd love to see what the hd2 would run like with my custom ROM. considering the specs and how fast my phone is now...

Think again. As austin said, if the Touch can have a ROM, the superior TP2 should have one too.

umm keep dreaming bud, the internal storage space is not big enough to hold an Android rom. Will not ever happen.
