Thought so, but didn't read my original message : "Besides the obvious ‘gaining root access’, has anyone done this that can list some of the benefits from rooting your phone ?"
OMFG ! so you think I cannot read the same second hand information that you can ? I was specifically seeking first hand experiences from people whose opinions I value. You missed on both points.

Besides the obvious ‘gaining root access’, has anyone done this that can list some of the benefits from rooting your phone ? (I’m thinking maybe I could finally uninstall that Nascar app that was bundled by Sprint ) Thanks in advance Erik Goldoff IT Consultant Systems, Networks, & Security ' Security is an ongoing process, not a one time event !
