That, in itself, is a major advantage of being rooted. There's some additional options for 'install to sd' as well.

Next, you can opt to flash a new OS to the phone. I chose Leedroid which basically mimics the Desire's touch and feel. You can pick and choose though. Being rooted allows you to create back points. Making sense of all of this isn't easy in practice though. Finding the most recent 'ROM' for your phone isn't as easy as it should be.
I would think it shouldn't be easy...you are afterall taking a phone that was set-up for one purpose, and using it for another. Virgin or whoever you get your phone from will obviously want to keep it locked down.

I err to buying google pure phones, so i don't have to worry about that.

Thenry, though it should be fairly safe, you do screw any warranty. I suspect that is rare but thought I'd remind you. I don't work for any mobile company or operating system
