So - back with my Hero for another week

i think your gonna miss the evo.

Picking mine up in the am hoping root comes quickly

Sent from my HERO200

Is anybody making the jump to this phone from the Hero? I told myself I was going to wait for a dual core phone from HTC but it seems like that'll be a while. I might settle for this especially considering it's only 150 and I could pick one up right now from Radio Shack.

looking to buy this ASAP. My upgrade is Feb. 1st.

I may go buy it from Best Buy outright, put it on my credit card, return it on Feb. 2nd and rebuy it with my upgrade.

I tweeted with twelpforce on Twitter.

Saw this on another forum:

Chiming in to say I was able to just root my Shift. Installed Superuser app from market, installed z4root. Ran it to temporarily root and it claimed to but didn't work. Ran it again and superuser app popped up asking to grant access. Did so, remounted root, copied su and busybox binaries to /system/bin.

I'm really surprized that Google doesn't plug whatever root exploit this is. I mean I'm glad they don't, but it just seems odd.
