I am still on .4869 and I have always been of the opinion that the update wont be fantastic enough for me to lose my root. I stated it on here and received many bashings from fanboys who were eager to tear me to pieces. after all is said and done, the upgrade is now here, I havent yet updated and my root is still on. I have android email, android market, huluberry, etc. The question is now that all of you have upgraded, is the update worth is or should i wait?
The decision to update rests solely upon you. there are many very nice improvements and additions to the upgrade and I would expect you'll be able to monkey around much the same as in previous version.
I see no reason not to update for the majority of users. If you're worried about rooting and such, wait for instruction in that section on what way to go.
