Definitely Staying For Now. Sounds Like P3 Wants To Root Gingerbread The Second It Drops Then I'll Upgrade.

I'm having reboots every day on froyo. I don't think I have much to lose by upgrading.

Im not rommed but im rooted, but i hear lots of people talk about SBFing to stock so they can get the update, but if your just rooted doesnt it not matter?


EDIT, never owned a Droid and have always used phones with easily unlocked bootloaders so this whole SBF thing is new to me

My experience with other droids, You will get the update still but it might fail installing if you are rooted. Some custom roms remove the ota ability.

Also theres a good chance the sbf will not work if you take the OTA update just ask the atrix users

No root, no upgrade. I've got my Honeycomb tablet rooted, rom'd, and OC'd faster than the phone, I can hold out until Verizon allows a full unlock if I have to.

How would the abc not work after the ota? DROID x users can sbf from .496 back to 2.3.340 .then again I understand this is a new phone .... and ATRIX users can't sbf back to 2.2? Wow.
