NOOB w/ HTC THUNDERBOLT!!

My first android was the eris, which was cool at first but sucked after about a month, then i got the INCREDIBLE which I totally love and is still an awesome phone, I started watching alot of movies on my phone while i did cardio at the gym so i was going to switch to the droid x for the bigger screen but then i heard about the thunderbolt and I love HTC sense UI and I'm used to it so i don't have to relearn anything, I miss the size of my incredible but in every other aspect the thunderbolt is AMAZING I love it.

hoping to get some help here as to how to uninstall factory installed apps like city ID and the golf game and rockband, useless stuff to me, also I know around here I might sound like an idiot but what exactly is "rooting" your phone and what does it allow you to do that you would otherwise not be able to?? thanks for any help and I look forward to contributing as well. D.
 
Rooting is to get total access to your phone in case you want to change whatever you feel like :P.

Sometimes there are files you cannot access for which you need to root your phone.
 
welcome to the site! rooting is doing exactly what you want to do: remove all the pre-installed bloatware/apps. before you try it (it voids any warranty) read, Read and READ! good luck!
