phone security?

[Nathan England]

I would like to know, with this coming to light, can those of us with a phone 
that has the software installed "legally" break the contract with the company 
we are in?

Granted, I rooted my Galaxy S and installed Cyanogenmod about 2 hours after I 
got the phone, I would break the contract and switch from my carrier just on 
principal. Any word about this?
