The one thing I still miss about my iPhone...

[ap3604]

Weird to say it but I kind of miss evil Apple being the bad guy and trying to control all of our phones. I miss the challenge and being able to strike back with a jailbreak. I know you can be "bad" and root your N1 but its not really the same for me since Google is a great company that is totally open and customer oriented and the Nexus One fulfills all of my needs right out of the box so there is no badguy to fight against and make things fun.

The iPhone jailbreak community was really a family since everyone had the same phone and was always working together against "the man". With the android and the Nexus One there are so many android phones that the community as a whole feels some fractured since everyone is on different forums. So far XDA, Phandroid, and Nexus One Forums have been the best with community involvement but I am sure over time it will get better.

Thanks guys for being great and helping me with all my questions. Hope we can continue to stick together helping each other out.

Hey on some handsets they are making it so you can't root your phone I believe so maybe you will get some of that old flame feel

Yep, just pick up a Telus Motorola Milestone and you're good to go.

^^ why is that?

^^ why is that?

Because the milestone is locked down by motorola much like how apple locked down the iphone.

Motorola root-proofed the Milestone and not the Droid? That seems sort of odd since they are basically the same phone.

Signed bootloader, so currently unrootable.

I imagine it was a carrier requirement.
