I was real anxious for this, but now that it's hear, I'm leaning towards RW-1 and Hook's perspective... and my phone runs so great right now, I'm wondering why I would want to try something that's not ready yet... but that's just me. Regardless, props to everyone involved in getting this out there.
I feel so touched, someone actually reads my stuff... sniff, sniff ...
I might root, but it would have to be for the fully functional version of 2.2.
Besides, I would really only want wifi tethering, and we might get that with froyo, so one wouldnt have to root anymore for it.
Individualism is the name of the game, you get your phone running how you want, not how others wish it to be. That is as much an adocaion for rooting as against, because one can add home replacements/launchers to change things without root.
But boy I'm jealous! Cmon VZ/moto! Get it out to us!
