Stock Original Droid 2.2 runs at 800Mhz - A Rooted Original Droid can be safely Overclocked to 1.25Ghz - This is much faster :happy:
Biggest reason is if Verizon had to deal with supporting people running every ROM out there, it would be a nightmare. By enforcing one software version, it makes life much easier in the call center. Plus, it doesn't pay to ship a device with a huge security hole in it. If devices were shipped pre-rooted, it would only be a matter of time before hackers started exploiting it.
You're operating under several flawed assumptions. Verizon isn't in the business of looking out for the best interests of it customers. Like any corporation, it's there to make money and to answer to its shareholders. The majority of consumers will never understand or benefit from rooting. Power users and enthusiasts -- the types that frequent these forums -- will. If the masses can't see the benefit to rooting then it's not going to be a sales point for Verizon (or any carrier or OEM).If "Rooting" makes your phone so much "better", then why doesn't Verizon sell their phones "pre-rooted"? I mean, if it was so great, think how much more successful the Droid and Verizon would be with "pre-rooted" phones. I just don't get it.. What am I missing??
