Well, I literally just rooted my phone and I did it because I was interested in faster 3g speeds and kernel for better battery life. I must admit that I find stock to be really solid for the phone, kudos for Android and Sprint to almost give us everything we want. However, if there is no enticing reason to root there is always one: Longevity. Technology keeps improving and a phones can become "irrelevant" very quickly. So, with a rooted phone you'll be able to test the waters of new versions of Android as devlopers make these tasty treats available. This way you can stay updated much longer than when Sprint decides to stop updating the phones.
