I am new to android and have been searching the forms for about an hour now and i guess my question is i am getting the droid incredible and i want to know the basic pro's to rooting, not just it gives you total access but what canyou actually do. For instance what speeds can be obtained what is the core things that make rooting worth it. I unlocked my iphone so is it comparable to that?

when you root does it add a download source like jailbreak does on the iphone
