I have froyo 2.2 installed and rooted on my DINC, will I even get the updates anymore from Verizon, or will I always have to wait and install them myself?
Yes, I'm a newbie so sue me ;)

I believe if you are rtooted but not running any third party ROMs, you still be notified that an update is ready, but you shouldn't accept/install it. being rooted means you have clockworkmod recovery installed on your phone and accepting the update could turn out to be unfavorable.

I suggest reading up on some of the current ROM's that have the updated info in them and flashing some to see what you like.
 
I was rooted when the froyo update came and had to reroot after the update. With a minor update/patch I doubt the same issue would be the case, purely speculation at this point. I will post if I get the update before anyone else replies.
 
I was rooted with the Stock ROM. I got the update notification yesterday. I opted to install a custom ROM instead of the update. So, yes..you will get the update notification from Verizon.
 
I'm rooted, I have tried some customs ROMS, but maybe I'm crazy, I still like the stock rom. I guess I don't like change. I'm used to it, I like it, and it works for me. I would like this update, but what "unpleasant" things will happen? Will it just unroot? If so can I use Unrevoked again? Or do I have to wait for them to update to root the update?
 
From my recollection of other posts on the subject, there is a possibility that accepting the update "could" cause you to lose root forever, something like that.

Are you using the OEM ROM or a custom ROM?

If you're on the custom route, wait for your chef to incorporate the update in his ROM.

Supposedly with X-off, you can't lose root. I really don't want to be the guy that tests that theory...
