    Once its rooted, bootloader is unlocked and you root it, does it really matter? There's an app for that and its free.

    I'm just not the rooting type! Had my OG droid for a year now and have been happy. I really want the legit hotspot function now though and was eyeing the Thunderbolt. Don't think I can wait for the Bionic to get some 4G goodness.

    It will probably get it enabled in a later update for the phone. However I will root asap so this is no problem for me XD

    Can't get to that blog from work, but if I recall correctly the image gave me the impression that it just won't support it at launch. Meaning it will probably be enable with a post launch update that VZW has already stated will be neccessary for other minor issues.

    Thanks for that. I wasn't aware that there had already stated something about an update on other issues. Otherwise, I'm reluctant to trust how quickly they'd enable the hotspot if it isn't available at launch...I like a bird in the hand!

    Literally you're allowing root access to the filesystem on the phone. Therefore you can do things it won't normally allow. You could think of it as being similar to jailbreaking an iPhone.
