To those who were able to successfully root their respective gt-s5360 galaxy y, do you have the same firmware version and build number as in the above? Just to be sure before i go your way. Your info is essential.

Yes, I have the same version and build number. But I think there are must be like this :
android version -> 2.3.5
build number -> gingerbread.dxkI7 :D

Next question for me is how to network unlock it so I can use them on other networks.

THanks.
maybe you should flash your device, try this S5360 firmware h*t*://hotfile.c*m/dl/130855394/eed909b/S5360XXKI6_XXKI6_OXXKI6.rar.html , (pass: samfirmware.com)
(Europe version). but there are some problems (in my opinion)
1. I haven't yet find odin multi downloader for GT-S5360
2. don't know if the firmware working on locked device
but you still try it anyway :D (with all on your risk, surely)

I'm still surprised we don't have a forum for Samsung Galaxy Y.

HTC Wildfire has 570mhz processor and this mobile has 800mhz processor yet we don't have any development :(

This phone might be the deal breaker for Samsung.The best phone for it's price! Would love to have CM on this one.

Anyone plan to place a request for new forum?

Is the phone good for music and playing simple games. I saw it can be rooted but are any custom roms available?

True. But, i think this phone has just been released in October. Waiting for some more threads on Galaxy Y S5360 by experts...

Also,

Can anyone explain why the process of rooting this phone is different than the other ones ? Other rootings are done using the softwares and the apps.
Why an update file for this phone's rooting ?

Also,
Can this be unrooted by restoring to "factory default" option from the settings ?

    You must have an update.zip file, I use an update.zip file for samsung GT-S5770 with little bit modify. Copy that into your sd card, turn off your phone, go into recovery mode. Choose apply update from sdcard then choose update.zip file with volume down button, and press home key to choose it . wait until progress done, your phone will automatic restart. browse your phone menu, if there is a program "super user" then your samsung galaxy y was succesfuly rooted. (sorry if my English was so bad :) ) and please don't forget give a thank's :)

    this is method I've do to "modify"
    - download the "update.zip" file for galaxy GT-S5770 ( I'm downloaded from here htt*://w*w.mediafire.c*m/?gakbyi443e8p4gz)
    - unzip those file then you can find two folders "system" and "META-INF"
    - open folder META-INF >com>google>android, you'll find two files
    - open file "updater-script" with notepad
    - find this script
    getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-S5770" ||
    getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-S5770" ||

    change with this one
    getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-S5360" ||
    getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-S5360" ||

    - save the file
    - compress all file again with "update.zip" name
    - finish
