You do have an argument that flasher is provided by nokia, and iPhones is not provided by apple. But this goes to the fundamental ideologies of the respective companies - I don't speak negatively about Nokia.

However.. having to connect the device to a computer, use a flasher utility, flash the device with a specific something - is the same for jailbreaking the iPhone or RD mode for the N900. The end-user process is nearly identical... except that at least the iPhone one is a GUI I think .

And what do you think rootsh is? It is a hack. It takes advantage of the fact that the Application manager runs as root, and then creates the necessary files to enable the user to run as root. It is, in fact, an exploit in the way the system works.

Now.. because Nokia doesn't care about it is an excellent argument for why Nokia > Google > Apple.. but not the N900 > whatever. They are all exploits.

If it was an official nokia package.. it would be in there by default.. which is what I'm asking for.
