Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

Happy to join in! This promises to be a great sequel to an epic roller coaster ride! I look forward to all manner of polite and dignified conversation in here whilst we play with our Nexi!

:D
 
I'm still deliberating whether or not to unlock the bootloader when I get my Nexus... and I think I've decided not to.

Let's face it: rooting is for tinkerers. It's very versatile and it's a LOT of fun! But it's also a lot of work. After 2 years of rooting & ROMming my Droid, I think I'm going to take a one-phone vacation from it and just be a blissful USER.

Besides: I'll likely have Nexus for a year at the most. Then I'll pass it down and use daughter's upgrade to buy a quad or whatever next year's new shiny is.

What about you?

I think I'll probably wait as well. Once I get bored I'll start over. It's really no different than my Dinc. I waited a year for that one.

:=O Im going to unlock it within 20 minutes of getting home. Heres how i see it:
1: I love TIBU and RootExplorer
2: Unlocking wipes 100% and theres no way to really back it up. I want it unlocked and then ill test it out.

also, I dont think i could last more then a few days without flashing it. Im a addicted crack flasher and I like my nexi, rolled up in nice white boxes ;)

Will definitely be rooting. I've had my OG Droid for a year and a half and never rooted, was only really aware of the possibility as of a few months ago. Especially since the Nexus is a developer phone, I'm really looking forward to unlocking all the capabilities.
 
I will definitely be unlocking my phone. Although I don't plan on using a custom ROM any time soon, but since unlocking wipes the phone I might as well unlock up front.
