Rooting basically gives you access to your phones inner workings. It allows you the ability to change and delete factory loaded apps, and flash customized software called ROM's. Hang out on the forums for a few days and check out a few of the how to guides and you should be able to learn a lot. And as I tell everyone who I help: research as much as you can before trying something. And when in doubt, ask questions. No question is a stupid question if it keeps you from pricking your phone. Hope I answered your question. Good luck.

Man, deep subject and more than I'm in for tonight. I'll be ducking out to work on my book. I'm at just the right level of "creativity" to get something done. In short, rooting gives you basically administrative access to your phone and allows you to do almost anything with it as far as the programming goes, but you MUST be careful. It is very possible to brick your phone and cost yourself a lot of money. You must beware. If you do it, just read carefully and ask questions. Go by any guides item for item. I just rooted so am by no means an authority, but turn to me, in my limited knowledge, or the others on here to help you if you have ANY questions. Do NOT do anything you aren't sure about. And I am dear serious about that. Let us help you so you don't damage your phone.
