  1. This isn’t worth switching from my rooted Froyo ROM.
    I really like the device. I just wish I had more use for it. :P

    1. Ditto. But, I use mine a lot and I would much rather keep it in it’s rooted state than be forced to accept this update.

  2. Your still on froyo?!?! that sucks. Get a build of ginger and double your speed. IM currently rocking cm7 and running it at 1.3ghz.
