wow
lots of info to digest, I feel very confident I can root without issue as I have rooted my PSP. Time to start studying
Here's the thing...
Most people with good reading skills and the time to devote to not only the root process itself, but learning about when/if you will/can/should get OTA updates, and what to do if you want an OTA update,
can root. The question is, is your
time worth the
results? You have to ask yourself, what results am I looking for?
I saw your reasoning in your first post. I don't keep up on some of the social networking stuff 'cuz I don't care (IDC!)
... but... won't you have that anyway when GB is released for the TBolt? It's not long now for GB.
Lastly, and I hope the original poster is not offended by this quote/link. But, seriously, before you root, you need to ask yourself if you are willing/prepared to deal with possible
loss of phone use for any period of time until you "figure it out"
if things go wrong at the most inopportune time. (see link below for example)

These are the reasons I don't root. I've been in IT for enough years that I'm embarrassed to say it out loud
I know I could root in an hour, but I don't want to "buy in" to the whole "rooted environment" right now. I'm not rooting because I don't want to get caught even for a day without the use of my phone. And, being in IT for as long as I have, I know full well that can happen when you do such things. Even if you are thoroughly familiar with the process.
Kinda like plumbing... when's the last time you you "fixed" your sink, only to find out that it's
not a good idea to fix a sink on a Sunday when the hardware
stores are closed
Consider the whole picture, then go for it, or not.
Just sayin'....
