Man, I REALLY wanna root my phone. I am so scared of bricking it though. I wish I had someone to guide me through it, step by step, tell me exact links to the files/roms/recovery images I need. I am just so scared of losing EVERYTHING, including use of my phone. Sigh

what do you mean? there are soooo many places that'll hold your hand step by step, no one is gonna tell you what ROM to install, because that is preference ... and its pretty difficult to brick your phone

Ok, thanks for the help. I have to wait until I get my data plan. What options do I have as far as ROMs go? And what are the differences? Sorry, but I am still very new to all this and want to know EVERYTHING possible before I attempt it
