1228435 2011-09-03 09:25:00 For android, it means allowing yourself to do 'administrative' things like overclocking, installing custom roms... etc... You become the 'admin' of the phone. Removes all software restrictions on the phone.

Like Linux, you become root user/superuser. On iOS its called jailbreaking, but you get an app called cydia.

1228439 2011-09-04 10:03:00 Sensation S is almost better imo... feels just better built, has HTC sense, and is almost identical spec-wise, just a little less RAM/flash. inphinity (7274)

1228441 2011-09-05 08:27:00 I personally tend to the SGS II, especially with the Super AMOLED + screen. Also the Galaxy comes with more media hype and support from cyanogen/ XDA developers. Not saying that the HTC doesnt however if you want something cool its more likely to show up on a Galaxy since its widely known. The Error Guy (14052)
1228442 2011-09-05 08:36:00 Whatever you want really... There pretty much identical spec/performance wise. sahilcc7 (15483)
