Warnings:
When flashing ROM chips, there is always a chance that something doesn't go as planned, and there is a chance of hosing up the phone if thing go bad in the wrong way. If the rooted or original ROM doesn't get back onto the chip correctly, then it is going to be difficult to explain.
You will probably not get automatic updates from Sprint if you root and you may not even be able to automatically install updates depending on what rooted ROM you install.

Thanks but we really need some kind of official confirmation - my take is that an unrelated hardware fault should make it unneccessary to worry about reverting back - unless someone can prove otherwise.
As far as rooting is concerned I see that there are always new things on the horizon (beyond 2.0 as well) and at the moment for no other reason it is worth it just to use APPS2SD( disregarding all the performance improvements of a custom ROM). As long as you are careful, it is very hard to brick the phone and most situations can be brought back from the brink!
