That's what I thought since iOS is so "locked" down hahahaLeonresevil2 wrote: Don't Android users wish the OS was good enough you didn't have to root, and had everything done from the start?

On all of those things I don't think any of the other OS's allow them ether...
The only other thing that rooting allows you to do is install other android builds. That is where you will see the most improvement normally.

You can run custom ROMs on just about any platform. You just have to be brave enough to try it.Dreyvas wrote: The ability to install custom ROMs alone makes Android a better platform than either of those, in my opinion.

It really has. The Mango (7.5) update added tons of stuff. Deeper integration of social networks like Twitter and Linkdin, more voice support, turn-by-turn directions right in the OS, and much more. Most of the 2nd gen WP7 handsets have faster procs, and front facing cameras. My wife is actually getting the HTC Radar on the 8th. Maybe Ill post an unboxing video to share with everyone.Wingless92 wrote: I have played around with Windows Phone 7, not very much though. I tried it out on Josh's phone 2 LAN's ago and it was pretty snappy. It just wasn't as good as Android was at that point. I would assume that it has matured a fair bit since then and I would like to play around with it again to see where it has come.
Its very unfortunate though that people determine how good an OS is by the sheer number of apps in the marketplace. The WP7 marketplace has grown faster in its first year than Android did.Wingless92 wrote: All three of them are very good but you can't deny that the apps in iOS have the massive lead.
