I'm probably going to be buying a smart phone in the next year. I'm finding myself leaning more and more towards an Android phone as the applications at least seem more open. I like a lot more control over my device than Apple seems to want me to have. As I recall though, you still can't get root on any of the Android phones without trickery, right?

If you call it trickery to install a older version of the G1 firmware via a raw system image (.nbh), and from there move to a more "enlightened" firmware. It's really not that hard. Not sure if anyone has achieved this on the HTC Hero or Magic, however, and from what I have seen, there is much to like in the Hero.
