I have seen numerous instances now of the touting the T2's inherent hackability and openness, on various websites, but no facts to back up the claims. So I thought I'd chime in with a warning:
The T2 comes as a closed product, and will remain so unless some developer steps up and roots it. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that'll happen, and so far I have seen no indication that any of this is taking place.
To the contrary, I sense a general underwhelmed feeling towards the T2 in the developer scene. The major motivation for the original developers – adding support for the Russian language – seems to have vanished with Sony's new official support for that language.
Of course, all that does not mean that the T2 will never receive a root crack – but it's a possibility you should be aware of.
