That's cool. I don't have the guts to root my phone. I'm sick of the false rumors too. I came across this and just decided to post it; false or not. Hopefully not lol.
Rooting is not a scary process (despite all the WARNING< THIS COULD DAMGE YOUR PHONE!) most likely if you mess something up, you just will have failed to root it. If you can follow directions, rooting is very easy....even if you have a mac like me, But I know the feeling. Rooting just opens doors to do some cool things you couldn't otherwise do.
Now flashing new roms like an ICS rom, that is another process that requires root. Root is a plus and a minus in my opinion. Mostly I root for the ability to completely backup and restore anything on my device....with ease of an app Titanium backup. I see Root as a minus, because I feel this is something Android should be able to do without the need for rooting. I could do it on my blackberry 2 years ago, and you can do it on the iPhone. I don't like not being able to do it on android without root, but such is life. But in saying all that I will gladly root and stick with a superior system and ecosystem.
As for the ICS rumors, I used to get caught up in the Froyo and then the GB rumors for the Dinc. I've learned to be patient. Updates don't always make things better. Unless there is a feature ICS offers over GB (other than it being new and cool), It's usually worth the wait (as long as the wait was because they're trying to get all bugs out of it). I'm only impatient for the release of ICS because I want my phone S-off, and that won't happen till ICS is released.
