I'm an extreme noob to droid.
i recently bought a european version of the american motorola droid: the motorola milestone.
bought it because im on tmobile and the milestone runs on a sim card, unlike most good droid phones in the US.
it fits all my needs, wifi, music, etc.
so far, i love it.
but, it leaves me with a lot of questions in looking up shit about doids.
What is rooting?
why would you want to root?
what about unlocking? is that the same as rooting?
my phone is currently on android 2.1, they havnt released the 2.2 update for the milestone yet, whats the differences? advantages?
just the few that i can think of currently, anything else would be appreciated.
i have looked through other forums, but like most, the search function sucks and the threads i come across with people asking similar questions all have the same "duh, you should know this without asking" type of responses that i would expect from apple forums.
