One thing im excited about is CM9. I heard the cyanogen worked closely with google on this. So when the phone is rooted, there will be only one rom i'll be looking to flash.
what is the point of rooting an android phone?
VooDoo sound. If there is ever any reason to root, that is it for me.
The Galaxy Nexus has a completely different audio processor in it. I don't forsee voodoo sound being a feature for this phone.
Root for setcpu, clockwork mod and titanium backup.
Oh and tethering.
That pretty much covers it me thinks.
No root for me. I use the Good For Enterprise app to access work email and Good has administrator controls that will disable the app if root is detected. I would love to root for the WiFi tethering but work email with Good is more important.

I perfectly know what root can do but I ask to nexus user why using root since they don't need to remove bloatware, most nexus user don't theme the phone and don't need overclock.
most people who will buy the Nexus are power users, who want the best phone with the best specs, and OC'ing is probably the biggest reason to root...this supposedly will have a 1.5ghz dual core CPU UNDERCLOCKED to 1.2...i want 1.5 dual...theme-ing is probably 2nd most popular reason, although ICS looks pretty slick, it may not need theme-ing...
wireless tether, another reason...
removing ads from free apps, another reason
titanium backup needs root access
root explorer....
depending on how good the GPS is, (sucks on the Fascinate) GPS Aids needs root access
even if those are the only reasons for rooting the device, those are pretty important to me!
