I was rooted and flashed the official 2.1 to my phone. While i do miss having root, it's not the end of the world. I just don't use the apps that i don't want to use. I had live wallpapers and half the time they didn't work or lagged badly.

My phone is running nice and smooth and i have not had any complaints so far from anyone that i've updated so far. I'm a tech at a Sprint store and have updated about 30 - 40 heros so far.

I could easily have just kept a custom rom and waited for someone to root the official 2.1, but i didn't feel comfortable flashing an update to a customers, or co-workers, phone without having tested it out first. So i used my phone as the guinea pig because i knew that i could fix it, but a regular customer wouldn't be to happy with me if i had to take a while trying to fix a phone because of a bad software flash.
