But really, I think the best part of rooting is being able to flash new ROMS and Themes, allowing you to completely change the way your phone looks and acts.
you can do that without rooting.

Yeah, Android already gives plenty of option for personalization.

I found this one yesterday and it seems like it should be really good: http://www.setcpu.com/ It allows you to adjust the speed of your processor depending on how much battery you have left, whether your screen is off, if you are charging, etc.

And the post above on Verizon and others monitoring phones is not surprising, but at this point I'm not real concerned. I will likely go the iphone route in December anyway.

So the HBO GO app for Android is the greatest app in the history of the world.  I would seriously consider buying a product that just has the HBO offerings on it, luckily I don't have to buy a damn thing, the app is free.  Since downloading the app last week, I watched the 2nd season of Eastbound and Down, started Treme, and have started The Wire.  Also watched Maggie Gyllenhaal and James Spader in Secretary and it was a great reminder that my taste in women has evolved nicely since I first saw that movie.  Maggs doesn't do it for me at all anymore.

The only HBO show I can think of that isn't on there is First and 10, thankfully I have the DVD box set.  They have about 100 full length movies, and they even have their pervert crap like Real Sex, Taxicab Confessions, and Cathouse.  Get the app, get it now.

HBO GO doesn't work with Time Warner cable.

Hey Saul, can you make a goEMAW Go app so that MIR starts posting more often?

Do you have to subscribe to HBO to use said app?

Nah, you can probably just watch their crap for free on a mobile device.

Work is considering switching from Verizon to ATT.

that would be dumb.

Yeah, I've been testing an IPhone 3gs for the last week and the data speeds are pathetic. my Droidx is easily 10 times faster at any given moment.

Report:

Netflix app on Optimus S works pretty well.  Colors a bit off.

As for rooting, if you only want cosmetic changes to your phone, I probably wouldn't bother.

Not rooting your phone is dumb.  Its not like it is some magical process by which your phone gets more power, you just get superuser permissions...

The battery life on my Epic has gone to basically nothing ever since I installed Froyo on it.  It lasts about 3 and a half hours off the charger with minimal use.  Not really a fan of having it on the charger all the time.

Just newer android software.  little bit quicker, minor improvements to tons of stuff.  you will probably not notice a difference.
