O hai!

Hello! I'm Jason and am currently using a Samsung Vibrant, possibly soon to be a Sidekick 4G :]
I haven't rooted my phone, although I am interested in doing it to get rid of the bloatware but I'm a little wary of it. Reading the rooting guides haven't helped much either, just made it sound a lot more complicated than I had orginally thought. If you have any suggestions please let me know :]

Hello and welcome to Android Forums. I've never rooted my phone either so I'm not much help. If I was seriously considering obtaining root, I'd read up in the root sub forum for my device. Best of luck to you and thanks for joining our ranks.

Rooting in and of itself isn't all that complicated for most phones. That said... for more info on the risks and rewards of rooting your Samsung Vibrant, check out:

Welcome to Android Forums!

If the only reason you want root at the moment is to remove "bloatware" you might want to reconsider. If you don't use any of those apps, then they are only taking up icon space in the app drawer. And, there are a lot of stories of people removing bloat only to find you they've cripples some necessary services which need a hard reset to recover.
