this thread made me get a galaxy too. I like it.

DT - The instructions I found on rooting the phone were pretty complex. Which ones did you use? I also have AT&T

Getting the Galaxy now too. Guy at the tmobile store was saying something about the camera being able to take photos with little or no light???

and yeah I tooled around with one and automatically fell in love with the texting swype thing and because I primarily text should be AWESOME. also can't hate that super amoled screen and droid software

I used the method of copying over a file named update.zip, then you restart in bootloader mode (hold both volume keys and press the on button). Then from the bootloader menu you select the update file.

There's also an up front end to do it over at XDA:

Just click to root, click to unroot!

The sideloading (i.e., bypassing AT&T limitation of only using their or the main Google market) is pretty convoluted, but there's a one-click sideloader now too:

Though with it enabled directly on the phone you can download direct to the phone and install vs. having to connect to your PC.

I've been having a blast with customizing, widgets, themes, trying different UIs and launchers:

The notification system just shits on the apple product. I'm also digging AppBrain, I can remote install stuff just using any OTA mechanism (WiFi or 3G), so it doesn't matter where the phone is sitting.

Here's some current Android fun:

So apparently the only way I can get FroYo is if I root...but I don't know if it's even worth it.

I've had the evo since release in early June. Unfortunately, in a moment of carelessness, I dropped it on concrete and cracked the glass this past weekend. It still works though. In fact, I'm using it right now. Just gotta decide if I want to send it to HTC to fix, or try it myself.
