Yea I’m thinking the same, I found a good video tutorial on how to do it and been reading a lot about it and a handful of people say to play around with it for a while so you can truly appreciate the change that rooting (and overclocking) makes. ---

> [@Z28pr0jekt](#): > > Got my droid x today, pretty fucking cool phone. Debating on whether or not to root it as it voids the warranty and the phone is a whole 7 hours old I have the same though. I can’t wait to fix some of the verizon restrictions, but I’m going to wait a month or two to make sure the rooting is foolproof. ---

Found some cool live wallpapers… but others I was interested in I’d have to pay for and I can wait for now. Definitely eats more of the battery though. So far the phone is fun, have advanced task killer, battery status pro and a few games on it. One big reason I want to root is to get rid of shit like amazon mp3, skype mobile, blockbuster and some other useless shit on the phone that comes with it ---

Just downloaded Froyo on my EVO last night once it was released. Here are my observations so far: - New Flashlight app is cool - Being able to flip horizontally clockwise or counter clockwise is a nice function - Wifi and 3G reception has seemed to improve. - The music player does not support WAV any longer. Typically not an issue for most buy my corporate Voice Mail system produces WAV files - SMS Attachments are much better! Easier to quickly send a pic to someone. I was just extremely happy that it did not break any of my apps already installed. The whole upgrade process was nice and easy. ---
