T-mobile MyTouch August update?

I just wonder if it has anything to do with the fact of how easy the MT3G is to root. If pretty much anyone with the slightest technical knowledge or the ability to read and follow directions can root the phone and use whatever version of android they want, then why bother rushing out and OTA?
im not to litterate on pc , but i think i could do it, all i have is a laptop, can you root from a laptop? it has port. thanks for any info.

thanks friend, im gonna do it, the main thing I want is live wallpapers, silly but I like the nexus one wallpapers, friend of mine had them on his mytch and they worked great,take care.

the only thing i can say is that they will slow your phone down, and as it starts to bog down over time its gonna drive you crazy. livewallpapers really arent that big a deal, just a little bit of animation

Thanks for the info. Is there a guide somewhere for the install process doing the update this way? Or is it a pretty painless process? I apologize if these are really obvious questions, but I am new to android.

There'll be flashing instructions when it's out and uploaded. I'm not sure if you'll be able to do it to an unrooted phone, although it should be possible.
