I am more than willing to setup a workstation with remote access and with the merge attached via usb, in order to develop a root procedure. I have the android SDK installed and will be more than happy to work with the developer.
According to the Quadrant benchmark, the phone is fast. See attached picture.
Serisouly though, if anyone is intrested in remoting into a pc with the merge attached, I'll set it up in a flash.
