Few Q's and thoughts

Hey everyone so i simply had a few questions and also wanted to voice my thoughts on the smartphone world

first off i was wondering if there has been word on 2.3 for OV. many people want the features and what not i would just like my live wallpaper to stop freezing and see some performance enhancements

2nd Q- rooting. now i could of course Wikipedia this but id rather a real person try and sum it up 5 pros 5 cons and what you lose for rooting and what you gain-from what i generally understand its kinda like overriding your phone with a changed/ customized version of whatever whether it be the OS or certain apps



as for my thoughts...for all you nerds. im going to be 21 soon. I remember when the RAZER came out wayyy back in the day. it was the same as every other phone as far as features it just lit up and had a slick design. My oh my how far we've come. our phones nowadays are mobile. real "mobile" computers. We've come from a simple interface where texting and pics ruled to a world of creating jobs!!!!?!?(omg no way ;) (app devs) and have turned our phones into workforce hounds. its 2011 and my phone can scan bar-codes stream videos.upload photos in secs. along touch interface/automatic updates background sync data for all of our feeds. its just amazing how fast were going! ive been reading nvidia is ready to power our future devices for high performance and battery life at the mobile level and phones are already being outfitted with duel cores. huzza!!! i also remember when duel cores exploded for computers. its a joke nowadays to not have at least 2--back to my point i just never saw things to change this quick as a kid. i cant wait to see what the next 20-40 years brings. anyways nerd lust over.

reply's? comments? story of your own? arguing? XD
 
1. Virgin has said it is coming. Nothing about a timeline or anything. You could use a custom rom to get gingerbread now.

2.
Pros:
1. Link2SD, You can put any app on your SD card.
2.Overclock
3.Custom roms
4.titanium backup
5. ad free android
cons:
1. Can't download movies from new market
2. If you don't follow the directions there is a small chance you might brick your phone
3. Voids warranty but if you have a problem you could just go back to stock anyway.
4. If you mess with system files and don't know what your doing you could screw up your phone
5. It could change into a transformer and try to take over the world.

Pros far outweigh the cons IMO
 
As for the live wallpaper that is freezing. Is it the pre-installed live wallpaper, or is it something you downloaded? If you downloaded it,it has to be on the phone,not on the SD card if it is freezing. My Optimus "V" is running xionia recovery,and BACKside ROM (CM7) + Green Machine Theme. Angry Birds is fluid,smooth,clean,and fast. I've been off the charger for 15 hours 4 minutes and still have 75% battery charge. My CPU is running at 787Hz screen on,480Hz screen off. In the hottest part of the day my "V" has not gone over 35c. Downloads from the market are Quick. Web browsing has been speedy as well. I have 85 downloaded apps and still have 150.55 MB left. Is that the kind of performance you were talking about?
