Oh I agree with your concerns about rooting. The challenge with Crackberry and other forums is that you have users who are very comfortable with hacking their devices, so they know what to do if trouble starts. They may not know particulars but they know enough to figure it out. The common user likely doesn't know enough about the hacking environment to fix the problem if it occurs. So, being comfortable with that risk, I think depends on how knowledgeable you are on figuring out a solution to any problems that arise.
Being that I don't know much about hacking, I am not comfortable at all with the risk of doing it. I'd likely just stick to the official updates and customize the device within the normal confines that the stock system gives you. Although, if I could one of those apps that do 1-click rooting, and I wanted a cool function like the Swype keyboard, I might be tempted to try it. But doing it long hand, where you can a make major mistake if you're not careful? Nah, I don't think so!

I wouldn't recommend anyone root their device until they research it, read common problems across multiple forums, read "all" the popular hacking threads, and then sleep on it.Oh I agree with your concerns about rooting.

The fact is, it is so easy on some android phones, that I have heard of one button rooting! I have been rooted for awhile, and don't know about that one. In all honesty, I didn't need to root my phone, but I wanted too
It is a ton of fun!08-19-10 02:11 PM - Long or short hand, there'd have to be a MUCH more serious enticement and value at the end of the tunnel than some lame keyboard. It'd have to free up major RAM/ROM and make my device run like a pro! But you're logic is the exact match of mine for sure.Oh I agree with your concerns about rooting.
