So if you buy a phone abroad, I'd strongly suggest you test it right
there, using WiFi, just surfing to google.co.il or some such and
seeing whether you get Hebrew fonts at all. If not, then you need to
consider whether you want to root the phone and lose your warranty.
I am not sure you loose you warranty when you root the phone.
there are at least 2 ways to unlock the phone:
1) unlock the the bootloader and then install the root app. but for me (
I have nexus s) it is reversible. you can lock it later. a
2) install some root application ( available at least in galaxy s, not
for nexus s) you can always uninstall it later.
I had hebrew fonts preinstalled. the problem I see is BiDi.
some applications work, some show hebrew in reverse. and some partially.
for example in gmail app, all the mail subjects are reversed. the mail
body is OK.
I found in forums a way to replace half (or all) OS files and fix the
problem in gmail and some other apps, but this does not fix all the apps.
Alon.
