The best part of rooting for most people is that you can use it on any carrier. This is very important to us in the US who are f'd by the current cell service monopolies.

Although I think Android already lets you install apps without requiring a certificate, rooting will let you go many steps further in modifying or replacing the built-in OS. -- ME2 On Wed, Mar 16, 2011 at 12:39 PM, Erik Goldoff <egold...@gmail.com> wrote: > Lately I’ve been seeing a number of articles and videos on rooting > Android phones, including the HTC EVO that I use. > > > > 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 !
