Don't unroot and don't take the OTA because it can unroot it. Just wait for a dev to root the official release.

Chances are there will be a rooted version a few days before or after the release.

How does that work? Do they release a whole new ROM or a kernel? I just rooted 10 days ago so I'm curious how it works.

It's the same ROM, just rooted. No need to unroot and take the one Sprint rolls out. I'm not going to get it regardless. OTA ones always seem to slow the phone down a little bit, and need more frequent reboots for me. I'm happy with 2.2

I wonder if this update will help out the battery life any?

Supposed to cure the increasing problem with some EVOs that can't/won't charge the battery if it goes dead.

No need to. There will be a stock rooted version very soon after.

Stay tuned. As soon as it's available, you will get it here.

Crossed over from BB about a month ago, so I'm really new to the Android OS. Is there a possibility that this update will get rid of the bloatware? Or am I stock with it until I root? Thanks!

To be honest I don't see Sprint giving that option yet.

What are the chances we get 2.3.4? I know the droid x got 2.3.3, but it doesn't have a front facing camera. Would that possibly play into it? Keeping my fingers crossed for google video chat.
