Re: Who really sees a need to root this phone?

For me, right now, I haven't the desire to root. I did initially but each ROM I tried had something goofy (I tried about 6). I went back to root just before the last OTA.

Living in 4G country, I've not stumbled across anything I know for sure I can get 4G after the last OTA. And I'm not prone to have to jump thru hoops to make it work. I agree with Zone/Droidrox that it's a damn shame HTC/Sprint closed a few doors...but I look at AT&T and their virtually Android lock-down and consider myself lucky I am with Sprint.

I don't tether so that is not something pushing me to root. I've messed with a few widgets, so Sense is marginally acceptable to me at present. I think once Froyo is released for EVO (I'm betting mid-July) then I might reconsider rooting. By that time ROMs will be stable and I can "play" like I did with WinMo. Android is a much different animal than WinMo, so "bloatware" doesn't concern me as much as it did with my TP2.

But for now, the phone runs great, I get awesome 4G coverage and and somewhat happy with the "look". So I'll just stay content until Froyo.
