The real question for rooted people is whether the update will unroot existing devices or not - and if so, whether it will be forced through automatically or not. People have guesses but no one knows for sure. What we are pretty sure of is that people will still be able to root after the update because the key factor enabling root is in hardware not software.
I wouldn't let that be a determining factor.

Thanks for the answer.
Again, I guess my doubts come from not having enough understanding about the NC. Let's say update comes out w/ whatever new features. Would this update be more like a firmware update, where the software of internal components would be upgraded? Or, would it be more of a software update?
I am trying to understand why flash, which is a software, cannot run on a current NC OS. I assume this being a software issue, BUT I do not have enough knowledge to be certain of my assumption.
Now, if this is related to hardware, meaning, that until the hardware "knows" how to "eat" a flash coming from the software it won't be possible to play flash, then I can understand why the flash is not running.
All this is a grey area for me as I cannot completely understand where the limitation lies.
If this is really more of "until the update is released, flash will not run - PERIOD", then I don't mind waiting another 2 weeks and see what happens. The reason for that is that BN gives you 14-day no questions asked return policy. So, in case something is not working as I am expecting it to - I can always return the item.
I apologize for rambling up here my scattered thoughts, but hopefully it all explains my struggles.
Back to the point.
Let's say, you are me and you have the experience with NC and have used the rooted NC - would you buy or wait till end of March?
