Hey, no need to root a Nexus S, right?
No, but I would need someone to root my brain to make me capable of buying a smartphone without an SD card slot~ XD
Tbolt is a solid phone, battery sucks~ but with the Jrummy's over/underclock tool, it's exponentially better.
Anyway, I came off as kind of rude in my post, but honestly~ its your phone. I just don't like people forgetting this. Can you imagine an automobile company charging you just for the right to paint your car, or modify it in any way? After purchasing a meal, someone telling you how to eat it? Really irks me~ a realistic analogy is, you're purchasing a computer system akin to a laptop or netbook, with 3g capability.
This network capability doesn't just automatically waive your right to installing what you want, or using the device how you want. Maybe to them it does to some degree, but not to anyone who has ever owned property can attest. It's really wild stuff, I mean~ maybe it dictates how you use their network when you sign for it... but not your
device. There's no right or wrong here, it's yours.
Null.n.Void really said it best here, but when you make decisions based on tech~ you really need to look at what's right for you within the scope of not breaking the law, and there is no law preventing you from having control over your device.
(Just to keep this in mind, forget adding music, movies or pictures to a phone with no removable memory except for what's on the phone~ it's just... I just don't really know why they chose to occlude such a basic option...16gb is nice though, it's really going to depend on how much you like being tethered to a computer to do your file management.)
