Help T-Mobile's Galaxy S Vibrant (SGH-T959) & Galaxy S 4g (SGH-T959V) : Can they be rooted the same way?

I just did it today! I was stoked, took an hour or two but well worth it, now using a Telus SIM in a Mobilcity Galaxy , flashed with Tmobile Root - Working BEAAAAUUUTIFULLY... process itself doesn't take long after everything is in order... let me know if you are running GingerB 2.3.6 firmware and if so than I will post the necessary links alright? Thanks

i'm about to figure out if our phones are capable of running New Android OS like ICS
