If you are on version .1 you need to complete all the steps of Part I (I say go all the way for Part II, full root) and then flash a rooted version of stock ROM, I just posted the link, or go custom. Don't do the OTA, it'll kill root and you'll have to start over.
root does not allow you to use the Sprint Hotspot feature. It does allow you to use an app like Wireless Tether which does the same thing.
I flashed flipz rooted version of the stock Rom and his rooted update. It ends in .6. Thanks for the info on the hotspot. I liked it because of the different types of security. Anyway, I don't seem to have problems writing to my sd card just problems when using the camera.

Thanks
