now with it rooted, is there going to be a bunch of "roms" coming out for it or what?

i applied it to my droid before i read it was pretty useless unless your a *nix user DOH. oh well hopefully will get OTA update soon

By the end of the year this will be huge. This phone has so much promise once it can be modified.

Hmmm... I was under the impression rooted phones don't get OTA updates.

I would wait till something worthwhile comes out, but it's exciting none the less.

hmm. you realize you won't get OTA now. you'll need to grab the update.zip and force update yourself, to get to 2.0.1

Everyone please be careful with the rooting. It's exciting news, but I've talked to someone that used it on 2 droids and now both droids cant receive or make calls. This is only one person, but I think it might be wise to hold off until more info comes around.

Crisis averted, the person I was talking to got both phones working again, but still, use caution with the rooting. I would actually recommend just waiting for the update over the air at this point since there's really nothing to be gained from the rooting aside from having the update a couple of days early.

Just curious, what makes you think that rooting the phone doesn't allow OTA updates?
