1.I was rommed rooted and unlocked when I last posted
and I had to go back to stock just yesterday coincidentally .... and yeah I can say I definitely like being custom better (ice cream sandwich is just not jelly either it really doesn't show this phone at its best)
its still a good phone as a daily driver but I'm someone who prefers custom... you're right some don't know what they're missing (its not optimal but if they're happy its not so bad either)
2. I care about Verizon's decisions ans cared yesterday when I was on jellybean I like this phone, I also like Android... I want all mobile OS's whether Ms rim apple or Google to be the best they can be... and I want devices and software yo demonstrate their potential
More importantly... Android consumers, like any consumers, deserve the device they paid for... it is a fact that Verizon sold services, and Samsung and Google sold quite a few devices, because of an implicit understanding (and this was often explicitly stated by tech media and informed consumers and even sales people ) that owners of these devices would always have the privilege of being on the latest Android release...
All indications are that Verizon would rather make money off planned obsolescence than consumer satisfaction... whether this pays off for them is up to us.
