iPhone 5 or the Galaxy Note 2?

Well, in the UK at least, rooting refers to gaining root access on the phone, whereas unlocking refers to removing sim card restrictions so that the phone can be used on any network. And there's no European law requiring that either of these be the case when the phone is shipped.

MRI:
europe is not UK you know.

I am surprised to know that you don't have such law, since we do have it .
and all phones sold before it to the costumers had to be returned to the stores and be unlocked.

true story.

well i don't care how you call it since i call it  unlocking and every shop i was it said the same to me .

in europe on most networks the phones shipped unlocked due to government law.
so we don't need to unlocked phones nay more :P..

That's a good idea, just proclaim you're right. I like that plan.

MRI:
look if to be honest.
my native language is not English thats why in my language we don't use ROOT as a name since people who don't know English or
computer still will be able to understand what it is we simply call it UNLOCKING.

as well for OverClocking we say make CPU "faster"  "forward"

you are right that in English Unlocking and ROOT may say some thing different .
still it does not change anything..

people still pay money to get their phone to be rooted as well as apple pay money for JailBrake iphone.

Bob2004:
Er, sorry, last I checked the UK is, in fact, part of Europe. And what you call it in your native language is irrelevant - we're talking about what it's called in English. We don't really care what it's called in some random other language, as it has no relation whatsoever to what the correct term is in English.

Now, shall we stop this nonsense and get back on topic? My personal preference would be for the Galaxy Note, but that's more because my preference is for Android over iOS, than because I know much about the hardware of the phones themselves.
