Rooting is pretty essential if you're getting a bloated phone from a provider. There's no way I would be happy with an S3 if I didn't take off all the trash that was preloaded. It's not even about the bloatware itself. It's about having the freedom and choice to choose what goes on with your phone.
I realize a lot of the mods and other tweaks are overkill. But I need to root. I want full control of my phone, even if I'm not going to change anything on it.
As for Samsung and Android -- I can see what Samsung is going for, but I just feel like they're digging their own grave.
Le'ts put it this way: there are things that Apple does really, really well, and there are things that Google does really, really well. However, I am struggling to think of anything that Samsung does really, really well. The only piece of software I use is the AllShare stuff, which I have to give them credit for. But outside of that, it sounds like a bunch of mediocre features that won't be enough to carry the device.

[COLOR=#red]BUT, that was the ENTIRE reason why Android was created as an open platform in the first place. By forcing one main version of it on OEM's that wouldn't be so open now would it? What Samsung is doing is the exact philosophy of creating Android OS was about...yet people want to go back to the monolithic "Pure" Android experience.
Critical thinking guys...it helps you know.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#red]You mean waaaay back in 2008?
N***a please, me and my crew was dealing with the chipped Motorola burnout phones where you didn't have to pay a bill and the Motorola Doctor pagers where a person called and spoke to an operator and the operator typed the message and sent the alpha-numeric message to our pagers. Like I said I been doing this type stuff for awhile youngin,[/COLOR]
Please dude. I was rooting Morse Code transmitters when you were still in reusable cloth diapers, son. I had it where the O was "dah-dah" when other clowns were still using "dah-dah-dah." ..-. ..- -.-. -.- / --- ..-. ..-., man!

Just dropped today, good app, and FAST. I have evernote, and it has crazy options but not as fast as Keep. I already threw my grocery list and other misc. things on it. This app has potential, hopefully Google adds a reminder option so I can put my task on it. I still havent found a good task app yet

Looks dope, cant wait for a stable leak version.
Preview of New Google Play Version 4.0
New Look
As you can see from these screenshots, the entire thing has been redone from a UI perspective. It’s more Holo themed than ever, uses new fonts as category section titles, bigger images, and what I can only describe as a Google Now box-style item container. Individual pages for apps, movies, etc. are all filled with bigger images and a much cleaner design. The layouts of most pages, including search results, remain mostly the same, however, the eye candy is everywhere. Google is using text to separate sections, but then throws big beautiful images and color in your face to grab your attention.
Gone is the dark box-styled home page – in is a much more minimal and clean, well, everything.

No, you would have to cancel the order then go into a store and restart the process.

Naw fam.
Ya gotta cancel that order then walk into a store and do a whole new purchase.
I work for corporate.
Its different channels thats why.
They got their inventory, each retail store has their inventory.
And we are very very careful with shrink control.

THAT doesnt even make sense.........There is a catch somewhere in that price because no way in hell they go from $50 for 500 mb to $70 for unlimited and no throttled speeds........When you find out what it is, im SURE bricks will be **** (lol)

But you are just one person, the 16-28 age range wont give 2 ships about allshare, but will use EVERYTHING else that samsung promotes......and thats whats making them soo successful. There is NO other reason they are the leading Android phone provider out there right now. this should already be known from the convo`s about the plastic samsung vs the aluminum HTC.
I get what you are saying......but you are certainly the minority as far as thinking the features are mediocre.....which they very well may be, but what other phone has those type of features and is advertised the say samsung advertises it?
