Hi !
I'm new as well- after 3 long years with an iphone (which was the first smart phone I've owned) I plan to get an android very soon- probably the HTC Desire Z.
I wasn't planing on rooting it (which I understand is something like jailbreaking in iphone, right?) but now that I hear that on the DHD there are all kind of pre-installed apps that are power hungry I'm guessing I'll have to.
since I have no background in programing and such (used the "dummy" version of jailbreak- install this, press this for 5 seconds, now let go...these kinda things...), I was wondering if messing with the android can be that simple.
There seems to be really professional people in this forum, so I guess I'll have a lot more questions once I'll actually get the phone!
