Exactly! Even when I had ordered my Pre, I spent the week waiting for its arrival reading everything I could about it. Then, when it was in my hands and activated, I knew exactly what I wanted and needed to do.
I joined here awhile ago, because I was considering the Evo and wanted to learn more about it and that was long before I made the final decision to order one.
It's really a simple fact that for most of us tech geeks, there is never going to be a phone that will do everything we want out of the box. For some, applications can easily be found that add the functionality they need. For others, it gets much more technical, as they want/need much more.
The trick, however, is to pick a phone as close as you can get to your ideal and then go from there.
In one post, this guy said something about if rooting was like using Preware and then in another, he asked where all the goodies where, that's what clues me in that he really didn't pay attention to what rooting does and doesn't do.
Just an FYI for anyone that has never used Preware on a Palm Pre or Pixi, it only requires downloading 2 files to your computer. WebOS Quick Install and WebOS Doctor, QI uses the files from Doctor to make sure your phone is the correct version for what you want to install and to return some files to stock, if you want/need to revert back.
Once they are installed, you just use QI to access the WebOS Internals feeds and use it to install Preware. Once its in your phone, you won't necessarily ever need either of those downloads, again. You can access almost all patches, themes, apps, beta feeds, kernels and etc. right from your phone, by turning on the right feeds in Preware.
Uninstalling something is just as simple, Preware keeps a list of what you've installed, called Saved Packages, so you can launch it and access that information, at any time. Just go into your list, select what you want to remove and press the uninstall icon.
