Aroot is the best rooting option and it allows non market app installation. No roms yet but you can use setcpu to underclock and save battery. Just some tips on battery life...if you are having less than expected battery life try a full charge while the phone if off and if you still are having problems, fully charge your phone and do a hard reset. These seemed to have helped many users expieriencing any problems. Most of all though, enjoy your new beast!

Pseudo ROM is Gingerblur its really good changes the look of everything to 2.3 aroot is the best method there's also a webtop mod that allows running the "laptop" feature once connected to something via hdmi. That is everything that is out there for the phone at this point
