    Best Smartphone for Verizon and rooting

    So I'm due for an upgrade, and currently have the Droid Charge. If I had a choice I would get a Nexus 4 and be done with it, but since I can't get that on Verizon, that's not a choice. I'm going to root it, and install a stock Android on it, preferably 4.2 - I'm also considering buying one...

    WHSV1 Died, alternatives?

    Well my WHS V1 machine died (the system drive failed) I picked up a WD 2 TB green drive to replace it, only to discover you have to do some jerking around to get it to work with WHS v1.
