so we will see how long i can fight off the urge to root. glad to hear it is not a necessity.

Dude, the fact that you knew about wm6.5 pre-release and android on the TP means to me that you will be on a one way trip to customizing the darn thing. It's not a bad thing, man I am right there with you. It just means that you have what I would call a "real" hunger for technology. Some may call us nerds, others geeks, but when those people have computer problems who do they call!!!

Nice to meet you... Actually just the fact that you are in a forum talking about this was the initial indicator. I've been able to resist rooting for about 2 months. The urge is calling, I want to know more about this phone and make sure that I am getting the most from my hardware. I have a feeling you think much the same way...

But maybe I am off LOL

you are probably right on all points. i guess i was just trying to maybe convince myself to just LEAVE IT ALONE...but i never can. i used to modify cars as a hobby, but that is a serious (read $$$) hobby. tinkering with phones is pretty much harmless and keeps me entertained for the most part.

For me, there is a thin line between customizing and tweaking. With the TP, I felt like I was tweaking just to get the stupid thing to work right. It was also very customizable as well. But it got to the point where I was fed up with finding fixes or tweaks to improve performance/battery life.

With the moment, I spend more time looking for customization/cool apps/etc. Not looking for fixes or tweaks. For me, it makes a huge difference. It just works. But like manaen said, my inner geek is getting the best of me and I find myself tweaking a modifying but only because I enjoy it. Not because I have to like with the TP.
