Out of curiosity, which frameworks did you try before going the native route?

Scrolling the only thing keeping you from a Sencha / Phonegap like approach?

I got pretty darn far with jQuery Mobile before I realized that I was going to just build something I wasn't proud of. I did really put a good effort into it though.

Jittery, slow, and inconsistent scrolling and page transitions were (sadly enough) the thing that made me just go with Objective-C.
