My phone isn't rooted yet but I want to do it. I upgraded from 1.5 to 2.1 via the system upgrade that Verizon ousted out to all Eris users a few weeks ago. Here are my questions:

Is OTA = over the air?
Is my 2.1 rom the one that is referred to as 2.1 OTA?
Is there a well documented procedure out there for rooting my version 2.1 rom phone?

Thanks everyone for your time to read this and even more if you post replies!

Yes, yes, and follow the same instructions as if your phone had 1.5 - it is exactly the same procedure.
