If you ordered it online, i don't see why it would matter where you live.
Just spoke to a CRICKET (corporate) representative in person.My area(perhaps others as well or all areas) will NOT be getting the OPTIMUS C.Reason given: the OPTIMUS C takes up too much bandwidth,causing performance issues,etc.....The representative went on to state that the ASCEND uses a lot of bandwidth & this was a factor in the OPTIMUS C not being released/available,at least in my calling area.Not sure if this is a factor in the continued delay of the ASCEND receiving the ANDROID 2.2 FROYO update.I'm still patient w/this as an ASCEND owner,being the phone has just reached the 5-6 month availability milestone.
However, the SAMSUNG SUEDE will hit the scene in early APRIL.Although not an ANDROID phone,this is the model that will be featuring the MUVE music service.
Check out the optimus v section of the forum. If the rooting instructions there are the easiest way (and the same for the optimus c), then it seems way harder. They do have quite a few custom ROMs, though. I still don't get Crickets explanation. Wouldn't the zio still use the same bandwidth?I'm satisfied w/the ASCEND.The OPTIMUS C isn't enough of an up-grade to switch phones,especially since I've had the ASCEND only 3½ months.
I've also read other articles/posts that suggest that the other OPTIMUS models are difficult to root.Not sure of the validity of these claims, however,it would be a subject for those interested in rooting to investigate further before purchasing.
As far as the bandwidth issue,the CRICKET representative I spoke with basically said that while the OPTIMUS C bandwidth issues weren't any better or worse than the ASCEND,they just didn't want to go down that road again,or,have two phones with the same bandwidth issues in my calling area to deal with simultaneously.
