So I went online to ***** at samsung again about their pathetic update on all the email contact forms the captivate and at&t are gone into had to go back to one of my old emails from them for it to work and even the SGH-I897 wasn't on the list. Anyone else seen that?

So the word on Droid Life is that gingerbread will be dropping during Q2. This came from an email sent by HTC.
My question is: is it a good idea to go ahead and root now or just wait a couple months and see what happens?

TBH is stirring up some gingerbread talk on Twitter. Some sort of release to droiders... Might have to take the dx back from the gf for some gb flashing inn a few days.

People who are rooted will likely have it on their phones before non-rooted people do.
I want gingersense.

Out of the many threads and forums I have read it seems as though many people are scared to root, and that is understandable because of warranty issues and whatnot...but I'm just curious how long did you guys have your phone before you decided to root?
For me, I enjoyed stock on the day I purchased the phone but rooted the next day because I figured I had solved hundreds of problems with computers and phones and tech...so how hard could it be to take care of rooted android?
Your turn!

Less than an hour but that's because that was why I bought the phone

15 minutes at the most
Before I got out of the at&t store parking lot.
I waited a whole week but that was because this is my first android device, so I had to read & read & be sure I was confident enough to do it.
Right when I got home. Had bubbys already downloaded before I had the phone lol

Two weeks for me. My first android phone, so I read lots of threads here and didn't find any cases of total irreversible bricking, so I went for it. Had an anxious moment or two, but it went very well, and now I've tried several ROMs. Sticking with MIUI for now, although I keep looking at other ROM announcements...
As quickly as I could after removing it from the box.
1week and 3days.
Had to wait 3 hours because I had to fix some issues with mobile data not working right at first.

I waited about 3 days. Got a feel of stock sense and even side loading with the Sideload Wonder Machine. I still couldn't live without Cyanogen Mod, governing my CPU, and theming my whole device.
Oh the freedom...
I made it a few hours, then I was sick of stock.....
I rooted today, and I bought the phone the week it came out. I wasn't in any rush, since I didn't want to do a bunch of troubleshooting. The rooting tools are really great and are totally stable, so I went for it.

I waited about a week only because I wanted to make sure there were no factory defects. Didn't want to go through the hassle of returning to stock.

I downloaded three ROM's and the hack kit when my phone shipped from Ft. Worth. When it showed up I guess it took a couple hours to root it because I just plugged it up until the light turned green and proceeded to root. It never actually booted into stock. I had enough of a nightmare with a stock Wizard back in the day.
I'm glad HTC decided to dissolve the locked bootloader policy because my SOP regarding all new HTC devices is to not buy them until they're well-supported here. HTC support is useless except for free battery cover, sim cover, and battery while in warranty and hardware exchange. They've outright lied to me a handful of times.
Took me about two weeks, as this was my first htc and manual adb root. I gotta say doing it the long way and doing the research was way better in my opinion than the one clicks and z4root that I used on my captivate. I think if more people did it the manual way we would have less conflicts with the different manufactures and in turn less locked bootloaders, because people would be more educated and less likely to mess up their devices.

I started downloading the things I needed to root BEFORE I even had the phone. As soon as I brought it home, it was time to root it!
Still haven't rooted. I'm skert.

Three years ago today, T-Mobile released the World's first Android-powered mobile phone- the T-mobile g1.
The trusty g1.. Ah those were the days. Mine was a trooper.

I can still remember the day I got my G1, good memories.
It was only 3 years ago? Dang...
I actually am looking to buy another g1. I loved that phone.
Crazy how fast Android blew up in the past 3 years, i didnt really feel the need to get another phone till june of this year, and that's cuz the g1 is probaly the most supported device to this day and has craploads of dev support/kernels/radios/bootloaders to change up the performance of the phone. It really was a great and fun phone to have and play with and i might also just buy another one for my kids to play with!
Seems like yesterday... I got my g1 because I wanted to be a part of the android revolution. I remember when jesusfreke said he was done and told is that there was this guy, cyanogen, that we should follow... that was back when he was just one guy! Err, I guess he is still one guy, but you know what I mean... so far it had been a great ride...

Three years?? Damn we are waaay back... at my country android just started to be famous.... it was all about "blackberries" and "iphones" XD XD
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
actually android inc was created in 2003 and sold to google in 2007 thats when they started to make phones
I went to order the G1 three first day it was released and it wasn't available in my area, so I ordered it for when it was. Under day it was to strove out hadn't come when I left for work (i worked evenings) and I live in a small town, so I drove around until I daw the UPS man, and got him up give me my package. First smart phone I had and android had since ruined me
Still have mine, I loved that phone. By far one of the best keyboards to come out on a phone.

for me...i haven't used my infuse in one week, school took it away last Wednesday, my parents picked it up last Friday only to have them decide to keep it because i had a bad grade in Spanish class...im hoping to get it back this Friday but who knows
so for me a week, how about you guys whats the longest you've been away?
BTW it is torture!!!!
Um about 8 hours or so lol and the first thing I do is check xda before I even get out of bed like my morning newspaper.

This concept is unknown to me and therefore causes me to be angry at you for suggesting it.

20 minutes each morning for my shower, otherwise, always in my pocket
Lol... when I used to get my phone taken away in school I would quickly take out my sim card if I was getting caught so I could just switch phones when I got caught and be like "IDC haha I'll pick it up whenever" and use a different phone. Same with when my parents took my phone. Buuuuut back on topic the longest I've been without a phone is probably when I lived in Michigan and didn't get service pretty much anywhere. xP
Two weeks plus. I hate it, but its a brick that can not be helped. Im getting the jtag service on it soon to save it. Then itll be alive woolhoooo. I hate using my ipod......
