Excuse me. But 2.2 hasn't been out for "ages".

Rooters/modders exagerate everything as if its just so much better compared to everyone else.

Pesonally I don't want to get into some some rooting/modding back door rat race.

1. there is some risk involved when you try and root/mod a phone. Even experts can end up with a bricked phone until tehy franticaly race to restore it. Restore it to an approved version. Funny huh.

2. Once your phone is rooted you are then trapped into waiting until "someone" crafts the next mod to make the next upgrade work. And even then you are relying upon people you don't know to make these things work.

3. Modding voids your warranty.

So while the modders enjoy their Froyo for "ages" and make it sound like its some simplisitic 3 second option you choose I'll wait until HTC releases the real deal. Thank you.

All the points you mentioned are valid while jail-breaking an iPhone. But other rooting-friendly phones out there (like nexus one) wont have the other issues except a void warranty.

Also, you can always go back to a stock rom and do an update if its absolutely necessary.
