Im new to droid as well and just learning about all this stuff. Sounds like rooting it is the way to go to really make this phone into the badass its supposed to be. Is rooting it easy? Does it void any warranties? What about os updates? Where do you find these apps after its rooted?

You download an app from the market called EasyRoot Compatability Test. After you run it, it takes you through how to install the EasyRoot app itself. Once that installs, you click a button that says "Root Me". That's it. After that, you can download all of the apps I mentioned right from the Market. Make sure you download Barnacle, too Seriously, I knew nothing about hacking or tinkering when I started all this. If I can do it, anyone can.

When the Froyo update arrives, all you do to ensure compatability is open Easy Root again and click the same button, which now reads "Un-Root".

And yes - I believe rooting voids the warranty.
