Is the LD version unlocked if not, what carrier is it set to?
*edit:
Just read that it is a Virgin phone.
Will it be difficult to unlock?

I just got this phone yesterday and was wondering what does rooting actually do to the phone? Does it make it run faster? make it so you can install other apps aside from the marketplace?

Rooting allows you to gain Superuser access to the phone. You can flash cooked (modified) roms that undervolt or overclock the CPU to get more performance. Sometimes apps only work on rooted phones etc.
Picked up the last and only one at Marine and Byrne. Girl said 5 people called after I did at 9 asking to put it on hold as well.

| Can you guys report whether you experience the yellow screen tinge issue?
Also, is rooting + unlocking pretty simple to do? I've never rooted a droid phone

I hadn't noticed any yellow tinge on mine until I compared to my bro's ip4, I can kinda see where you're noticing the yellow, but i think its because the ip4 has a blue tinge and the whites on the gs2 just arent as bright..

Rooting is easy. Just check my earlier post with the link. And check mirkoft's reply for the unlock app after you root.
Read the instructions in the link. Took me like 5 mins to do the actual root and.unlock. I spent like 3 hours reading shit.cause I couldnt figure it out.
The bell verson doesnt have any branding on it whatsoever. It just comes.with bell apps.

Apparently there's a yellow tint on the left edge of the screen thats caused by overheating?
I still havent been able to pinpoint whether its a hardware or software issue; I've read different things

yep custom roms usually remove all the bloatware.
or you can just root the phone and use titanium backup to uninstall the Bell apps

Yooohooo.... found one at LD in delta. Will be picking it up after work tonight.
There were two in stock and the other one is already on hold for somebody else when I called.
So, what's new in the Android world?
Last Android phone I was using was Google Nexus One before switching to iPhone 4
