Rooting doesn't make the device any faster, removing the bloatware does - I don't put a lot into Quadrant and the other benchmark tests but I do have 500MB of free RAM after removing the bloat
WOW that's really good. Did you install a kernel?

I used Titanium and froze the apps. Others change the file name to bak.apk.

Is it hard to root a phone? I have no idea how to but I want to get to rid of bloatware. I have the charge.

Not too sure about the charge, but for the bionic it took about 5-10 mins w the one click root that was provided in the hacks section.
I had a rooted Droid and read which bloatware to freeze without impacting the phone.
Before you root, make a nandroid backup and read carefully how to root and what to freeze.

It does get a bit more snappy! Not to mention the battery life goes thru the roof!

I agree with ya there... My bionic was randomly rebooting once or twice a day, but my apps never disappeared.... at least that I have not noticed. I went ahead and exchanged it, no more random reboots, but then I got a new problem, apps disappearing... I just went ahead and returned my Bionic altogether on the 10th day.

Yeah I just went and returned the Bionic to Verizon and they charged me a 35 dollar restocking fee.. assholes. I hate Verizon. I went back to my Droid X which has 10000x better call quality and clarity. The volume on the Bionic and the clarity SUCKS!
Did you ever swap yours for another Bionic just in case you got a defective one??... I ask because my Bionic's clarity is superb, probably the best of any smartphone I've had.

I had a dx... quality is the same.. the only difference is ppl on the other end hear me better when im in a loud place
As far as this d2 nonsense..... the d3 blows out the d2 not to mention the bionic is an upgrade of that
Oh the d2 is better in one category.... its a better paper weight

Lol its Motorola blur that is obviously slowing it down. Just root and install a custom rom. Makes it a whole lot faster and smoother. And yes let me tell you it is an exact replica of the D2g. With its slide out keyboard and 3.7 inch screen.
