Iphone convert / New to android

[BadTA]

I just picked up the droid charge last night. So far so good. I have done some research and am having a difficult time figuring out how to root this thing. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.

I just returned my iPhone 4 (within 14 days Verizon).

Its a tough decision as I want the Charge but the newer Phones are hopefully coming out soon.

How do you like the Charge?

So far so good. I have had it all of about 15 hours. I had the iPhone 4 since it came out and Jailbroke it the same day. Now I want to do the same thing with the Charge.

The novelty of the iPhone was beginning to wear off and the fact that I live in a 4G area kinda tipped the scales.

I tend to be fickle with phones, so we'll see how this one holds up.

Thanks!

Check out xda forums. That should give you all the info you need

Why do you feel that you need to "root" the phone? I know that you have to do that on the iPhone just to be able to do anything you want to the phone since the thing is controlled by a maniacal mad man that thinks he can do no wrong but Android isn't the same. You can customize Android as much or as little as you can 95% of the time without root.

That's what I love about Android. No one person telling me what I can and can't do with my phone.

Precisely why I rooted. And so far that's as far as I've gone. No ROMs installed yet.

This is why I rooted. That and the ability to tether.
