I am going to put a hold on my "Privacy, Security, And You" post for now. I don't know how late I am to this party, but for a lot of phones that were difficult to root in the past are now one touch rootable. Now, please, please, please. Do not go trying to root your phone with out reading, knowing, and understanding what you are doing.

In fact, I'll go right out and say, Don't go rooting your phone. Go read about this process and make a decision. I'm just going to help spread the word about this. Note that this method is not designed for any specific phone, though there are some phones known for it not to work. My best suggestion is to have or use an alternative SD card as well because this process requires a formatted SD card.
Good luck, and spread the word.

On another note, if you do decide to root your phone, I highly recommend this be your first post-root app. Titanium Backup. This does two things. The first thing you should do is backup all of your system data and apps. If you ever shitbox your phone you'll be able to go fix it with this. The other thing this can do is remove bloatware if your phone has any.
