Probably a ridiculous screen question

You could well be right...would be nice to confirm though. It is exactly 9 days old (but who knows how long it was waiting in the store...not too long I would assume, but you never know)

I got it unbranded and unlocked from O2 Germany and then immediately upgraded to Froyo before I did anything with it.

I seem to be disappearing into a loop when it comes to rooting, some say the boot loaded is the most important (0.93), some say this doesn't really matter now..then other threads refer to the screen type causing issues etc.

I want to try out some custom roms to tweak my experience, but want to make sure I have a full recovery method to get back to where the phone is now...

Followed the instructions over at xda...

Uninstalled HTC Sync
Booted into recovery mode
Installed the Android USB Drivers from the unrevoked site
Rebooted phone and set USB Debug mode
Ran unrevoked - finds the desire, press OK - Says it is pushing the image and then says it can't and terminates.

Stupid question..do I need to have the phone at the bootloader to do it? I kept it booted normally as I presumed the USB Debug setting was only valid when the phone was booted fully...
