I think you have to root ANY android device to install the new firmware

Not if it's from the factory. I had GB on my charge before it was released OTA becasue I was rooted but when they pushed the OTA everyone went to GB.

Jut found out my phone isn't really a 4g, despite being advertised that way. It's HSDPA, which at work is actually a faster connection than our wi-fi network. I ran a speedtest and I was 3mbps faster on HSDPA than I was connecting to our crappy 6mps network (which I checked with the boss, and that's all we pay for - 6mpbs).

ATT is fucked up, at least 2 phones named 4G and they only have 3G radios in them. How the hell are they not getting in trouble for that?

What did you upgrade? The tablet or a phone? I just unboxed the new tablet about 2 am. The link I had that said you could upgrade the tablet to GB was wrong. It was just a firmware update and not an OS update.

I upgraded my phone. Technically it is a firmware update, but the UI changed. The one thing I do not like right away is the ability to mute all sounds with 1-touch. If you look at the "About Phone" settings, it says Firmware 2.3.6 and Build number GINGERBREAD.UCLB3. It does not list anything as "OS".

I was just reading that thread last night. The thing about that thread is that it was made last November and last updated in January and now has 59 pages so I don't know if that info in post #1 is still relevant and I haven't had time to read the other 58 pages.

That's why I'm thinking I may stay with a more supported device like the ASUS Transformer.

I read some reviews on the LePan tablet yesterday and other than some stupid design problem with the on/off button, the general consensus is that for people like us (with some technical knowledge) it's great - better if you update to GB. I guess at some point, with FroYo it locks up; a restart usually fixes it, but GB eliminates the issue. I would imagine rooting it first is the way to go, but before I do mine, I'm going to read all 58 pages.

Any manufacturer can screw up. ASUS released the transformer prime with a nice sexy metal back... too bad it borks WiFi and GPS signals. That's why I'm waiting for their newest revision of the transformer before I get a tab.

Though if you guys have good luck with this one I may pick up one just for the hell of it.
