I'm looking for people / groups that are working on gaining root. Root = total control over the device essentially. At XDA you see people developing methods for gaining root access, building custom Android ROM's, and developing methods for loading those ROMs.
My ultimate hope would be that root access can be gained so I can do things like use Apps2SD and maybe throw on a custom Sense UI ROM.
If this doesn't happen I won't be disappointed with the phone, it's still great.
