The article sounds like its hard to root a phone to get rid of the bloatware. I'm keeping my Droid 1 in happy happy root land until a really fast phone comes out that I can root and do what I want with. While the Droid 2 is a nice improvement over the original, its not enough of a jump to drop $200 on an upgrade.

and of course, the rom developers are working at light speed these days, finding ways to get rid of the bloatware Verizon, Motorola, HTC, and Samsung are dumping on phones.

Verizon did it to the Fascinate because it wasn't exclusive. Even considering it a cheap smartphone when the Hummingbird runs circles around the Snapdragon.

The galaxy S class phones are bigger than you may think, when I got my Vibrant I as like this phone is large as heck compared to my Mytouch3g and Cliq.
