Agreed Edaze55. You can potentially ruin your brand new phone when rooting, and if you do, a backup won't do jack. Rooting is great and I haven't looked back since I rooted my G1, but for a complete newbie it is not a big deal especially with the Droid as it comes with 2.0. Rooting is definitely not the same process with every Android phone, while you get the same result it is not done the same way. Also we need a proper recovery for the Droid before flashing any custom ROM's, and possibly a new SPL and Radio. And it isn't a night and day difference unless you specifically need tethering or Apps2SD. The OS is still basically the same, you just have super user access and most people have no clue what that even means. Wait until someone figures out how to root the Droid, then wait another month or so and see what everyone says about it and how many bricked devices pop up.
