I'm still rocking 2.2, is there much benefit of updating?
Remind me how its done again?I think you'd notice a difference.
No 'wipe' is required for anyone coming from MCR 1.2 onwards, or the stock 2.73.x updates.
What buttons get you into recovery?As I understand it wiping the phone isn't necessary in most cases. I just went from 3.0 to 3.1 without wiping, but obviously that's less of a jump than in your case.

Yes but isn't 3.0 on that base and can be themed to an extent?POWER ON while holding down HOME.
Oh, and yes you should be okay without a wipe. No themes - this is still the 2.73.405.xx base, albeit heavily optimised and with Teknologist's recompiled and tweaked kernel.
I've had no issues whatsoever with either of the betas or the RCs.

EDIT: Is the WaveSecure update.zip any different from the Market one?
Ok, I'm going for it. Wish me luck.I don't think the market version will survive a hard reset, where as the modaco one will

The only difference I can see between this and 2.2 is that resting RAM is maybe 20MB more than before..Sorry. I was on the wrong railroad, never mind track. You're correct, of course.
@vido.ardes: welcome to the club, brother!
I took the plunge and rooted my phone (finally)... took about 3 hours!
I tried the flashrec version with about 5 different versions of flashrec till I found out T-Mobile G2's don't work with it! Then I tried the downgrade / goldcard method, but getting adb to work took about an hour... then HTC Sync wouldn't work cause I was on Windows 7
Anyway, it's working now, it's lightning quick, I've learnt quite alot, already got A2SD on an ext4 partition, and I must admit it is pretty snappy compared to stock.
Mat, assuming you're on the latest ROM from T-Mobile like we were, this is what you need to do;
First, you have to downgrade your phone to an older ROM.
