I have an Incredible 2 right now, but can't find a reason to root it.... yet.
AT&T disables the phone's WiFi Hotspot ability unless I pay even more for a data plan. (Already paying for one, but don't need the extra data amount that it entails) Plus I'd like to get rid of some of the stupid apps that are running for no reason, like Facebook - I don't have an account, so why would I run the app? And there are a bunch of really cool apps that I could use, but they require root access, and AT&T blocks that. Those are my main reasons.
So my 17 year old son says you can't update your phone if you root your phone.........true?
What updates in particular? If a new version of Android hits the market, if it isn't available before AT&T offers it, it would be available shortly after.
