Well the good news is I got my M today, the bad news is that despite my best effort the metro store I go to was unable to secure me a 2.2 version. So until a successful method of rooting 2.2.1 comes along I'm stuck with the Metro bloatware. I just KNOW that the "brains" on this site will crack this damn thing sooner or later.
Yeah I couldn't find a store around me with 2.2 and one metro guy said that a few weeks ago they were told to return a few of the one they had in-stock to make room for some that had "some improvements". I couldn't confirm that at any other store so he may have just been pulling my leg, but it seems that it is almost impossible to get an M with 2.2 now.
Got my 2ND Optimus M phone from metro.com. I ordered on feb 1ST to get the 50.00 rebate and it shipped to me with only 2.2 so all was well and is well...
