I don't know if anyone answered your "root" question, but just go to google and put in Unrevoked 3... it is a one click root method. All of the posts you are seeing are days of old where you had to do a lot to get full root access. This is fast. I had hardware 001 initially and did the long method root...that one was damaged and I was issued one that was hardware version 0003. I did Unrevoked and it was a snap.

Make sure you write down or remember your google email address you created for your google/android phone.... if you root or update or anything you will need this email address and password to keep your contacts. I updated my sister's phone and she didn't remember her email address (didn't tell me until after it was done) and she had to start over w/inputing her contacts. If you already forgot, just go to your gmail app and send an email to yourself or someone else so you will have your email address.
