Why is rooting such a polarized subject? Sometimes I feel like people that slam it don't really understand what they are slamming.

I agree Barry. There's no harm in rooting. Its what rooting allows that can potentially harm your device. Like guns don't kill, people do.

WOW!

I love it!! This little machine is incredible, I can't believe it was so cheap! It's so smooth, and the screen is AWESOME! (And that's saying a lot coming from a Galaxy Note owner)

It was definitely worth the wait.

In case anyone is interested, I've found that Thumb Keyboard 4 is the best tablet keyboard ever and works like a charm on the N7.

Hehehehehe I will be getting NO sleep tonight!! :D

Are you a former user of swype? Have you tried the gesture keyboard that is native to the device?

Glad that you are so pleased with the Nexus. I honestly wish every owner expressed the same excitement! This little thing is wonderful.

Fear of rooting is fear of the unknown, IMHO.

I think that many people don't root because they have heard the horror stories about bricked equipment.  Personally, I haven't rooted my N7 because I have no need to.  I've rooted all my android phones out of the box.  Bottom line is what Jay said, personal choice.
I used to be crazy until I found out that insane pays more.

Where am I?  What am I doing in this handbasket?
