just wanted to pop over here and add my $.02.
not a huge modder anymore. Used to be in the WinMo days, but now, Froyo has been stable and did everything I needed, so never rooted, etc.
recently started having some issues with my phone hardware, so wiped it and installed the leaked OTA GB (non-rooted) and after install, a quick wipe, its working beautifully. nice and fast, even faster than a stock Froyo with LauncherProPlus.
Thanks to everyone for the posts, made it nice and easy!
