It's ok, we accept crackberry converts here
AC has lots of info on rooting and Rom, would be a wise idea to read it several times, and then a little more. A very good prerequisite. You should find it on the main page.Also, the specific phone forum should have rooting info, if not, or nobody answers, post it in the How to. Somebody will see it.
But the first place, is the forum for your phone
Welcome to AC!
