    There are 3 kinds of people: those who can count, and those who can't.

    I wasted 30% of my life in school. The other 60% was fun, though.

    aside from the obvious ability to install custom roms and update sooner...

    1. tethering (wireless and usb, regardless of your carrier's policy)
    2. access/backup/modify files in the android system (like removing the camera click for example)
    3. Overclock (which is not only safe if done correctly it is very effective)
    4. titanium backup.. you just have to use it to know
    5. have more fun with testing/updating/changing my phone in just about whatever way I want

    1. VPN to Cisco devices. This was the main reason I rooted.
    2. Wireless tether.
    3. ROM's/OC
    4. Experimenting with the system files.
    5. Create the look of disbelief on the faces of iPhone users.
