There are anti-virus apps that you can get through the market, IIRC. Don't know about PC scan, AFAIK it would scan the SD card only. Post the question on the xda developers forum, they'll answer it.

I think I'm going to root my phone this weekend, tired of waiting for Froyo.

yeah I figured you'de direct me there ,heh it's weird but I feel more comfortable asking here!

Anyway other than some garbage programs sprint has enforced on my system, I'm not the wiser yet as to what I'm truly missing by not rooting it. I'm prolly going to wait for htc to get off their ass and give us froyo with sense UI, but keep us posted I would be interested to find out how it went.

Reasons to root? USB tethering (no $30/mo Wi-fi hotspot charge), icons, themes, apps, launchers, performance increases, and best of all, getting rid of all that fucking stupid Sprint shit.

is the best case the Griffin Reveal or just the bumper? or something else? whats the story?...

I heard the Reveal sucks (cant press volume buttons). I bought an $8 cheapo white hardcase off Ebay till I find something better.

for $8 is pretty nice, and also stops antenna attenuation.


edit: oh i see its $9 now.

I need to check out the free cases they're offering. Although, I'm thinking I like the way the white bumper looks on the black phones...

Um, no. You only need to root if you want FREE tethering. The rest you can do absolutely without root. Get your shit straight, Tsakali, you fucking douchebag.

I seem to remember a guy who exploited super weak iphone code just to show it could be done.

I'm so sure I'm not going to look it up to cite it.

That shit happens to all.

don't be a fag, it's prolly hard for you to grasp the concept but it's far from just being a phone.
