My only point is that if they do hose you by trying to remotely remove functionality, you have recourse. Rooting is a good bit easier and less drastic on Androids, incidentally, not that that changes your opinion (or mine) though.

I figured what Bman said was possible, that Android phones have it available (because the carriers figure people will just root the phone anyway). I just wanted to check before spending a lot of time researching. -- Drew

And my wife did it to hers... without a single problem and without my help. My Oldest daughter flashed it with Google's image from the onboard storage putting the file there using Windows and MTP device transfer. She was the first of us all. I said I was gonna do mine and she wanted to do hers first for some reason. She convinced my Son-In-Law to do it... he is even less adept than my wife or oldest daughter. All four of us are running Jelly Bean. I was completely impressed with my wife, daughter and son-in-law. I did it last of the four. Almost shamed into doing it.
