My feeling--and I'm not even trying to be funny--is that I'm somewhat embarrassed about it. I feel that I should just have a phone that does nothing but call and possibly text, and held out for years.
The things that I transfer are usually public domain ebooks that I've downloaded, and, at work, on occasion a photo.
My most frequent use of the phone is as an ereader on the train, so even if rooting were 100 percent safe and easy, I probably wouldn't even bother. My aging eyes (and mind?) have too much trouble using it as web browser or ssh client.
I don't think I'm typical though. The vast majority of people I know, including those in my age group, make far more use of their phones as browsers, ssh clients, and so on.
