[AccessD] Verizon Droid 2 for the wife

Indeed, the possibility of bricking the phone is always there, but with the
new methods of rooting, it's very rare. I have had my Drinc rooted for 5
months now, through 2.1 and now the final 2.2 ROMS. I have had Zero
instability problems. 

The things that I can do with the phone now that it is rooted (I also have
s-off) is awesome, but you know what my favorite is.... making a complete,
bare metal, backup of everything on the phone.  Believe it or not, you can't
do that without being rooted..

As always YMMV

don't root it.

I know a few people that have and it leads to instability.

It basically allows to to tweak/overclock your phone, run programs not
normally designed to run on your phone.

It can also leave you with a "bricked" phone, an expensive paper weight.

I believe rooting it also voids warranty.
