I'll be interested to see how the root process works with the DX2...should be similar to original DX right??? Thoughts?

YAy! Well, I guess when I'm ready I can do it relatively easily. NICE!
I'm not very knowledgeable on rooting and such, and unsure of what the significance of having the bootloader unlocked is, so this may only be a small feather in the cap in unlocking and getting the device to 'vanilla'.
Do you need an unlocked bootloader to remove bloatware.
The only reason I can think of for me to root it getting rid of the pre-installed crap apps and hopefully using the hotspot feature without paying an extra $20 a month(which is asinine to begin with)

That's great, I got mine for 160 as an upgrade through VZW online. Did you order yours through Verizon or somewhere else?Hopefully it does.
I just ordered mine online for an amazing price of $149.99 with 2 year contract.
No one can tell me why I'm getting it for less than 199.99, and I don't wanna wait around and miss the deal.
I ordered mine from verizon online also. It too was ~160 with tax and suchThat's great, I got mine for 160 as an upgrade through VZW online. Did you order yours through Verizon or somewhere else?
You don't need an unlocked bootloader to remove bloatware. Rooting is all you need. I rooted last night using the GingerBreak method and installed Titanium Backup, which allows you to "freeze" (effectively remove) any offending apps.
