I just got my d2 (my first droid coming from bb storm) and I was wondering:

If I only use gmail do I need k9 for push?

Can I get the task killer app to work? I've read it doesn't play well on froyo.

Finally, if I root my droid can I dump all these preloaded apps I never use?

Thanks in advance.

No you don't gmail pushes itself

Not stock but you can give it a try but I do know they changed the permissions due to users killing things they shouldn't

Finally, if I root my droid can I dump all these preloaded apps I never use?

Yes you can I suggest making a backup of them so when the next ota rolls around you don't run into issues like some dx users were

Thanks in advance.

hope this helps you
 
Ok great. Now do the instructions for rooting I found here for the droid work the same for the droid 2? I'm not a complete smartphone noob, I loaded many leaked os to my storm but things seem to be a little different here.
 
No look at rootzwwiki.com or xda under the droid 2 android development section for instructions on how to root this bad boy
 
Can someone tell me the term "Root" definition. I am a old BB user and coming to Droid.
