I still don't understand how rooting can help me and it sounds hard to do...I don't care about changing the appearance of my phone but speed would maybe be cool....

How is it worth it? You said you wanted more speed, well, you can do that after rooting.

 

[FranklinWalker]

yeah, just root it

 

[droidhop]

But then would I still get gingerbread when it comes out? And would I still be under warranty if anything on my phone breaks?

rooting is completely reversible at any time.

Yes....you can get OTAs after rooting, you will lose root though. Or wait for a rooted ROM to come out and install that.
Root and warranty is gone. Unroot and warranty returns.

You can use an app callers Z4root to root with a single click (works on most Droids). If you don't change ROMs then you unroot with a single click, get the OTA update, the reroot with a single click. Most people root their Droid to use wireless tether or over clock. I rooted to use wireless tether.

I rooted, then found myself indulged in Fission ROM. I can't live without Wireless Tether and Adfree Android.

So I'm still trying to do my research before rooting. If rooted, can you still get app updates without it "unrooting" your phone or does that only happen with OS updates?

Only with OS updates, you can always get app updates

For D1's link 3 in my sig is the right way to root.

Thanks Tallica. One, or one of many things I have to figure out, is should I back up my phone to my computer or use an app to back it up. So many different ideas out there.

before you root there is not much you can do about backing up...except for my backup pro, that will do apps and sms i believe but if you don't have many apps it's not a big deal to redownload them and might not be worth buying. After rooting I suggest Titanium Backup.
