    Yep, the phone has already been rooted (search the blog for news) and the new handsets come with their bootloader unlocked for most handsets (sim-free) so other ROMs should head to the handset soon too!

    If you have version 2.3.2 I think "Gingerbreak" will work, it didn't work on mine with 2.3.3

    Google "Gingerbreak" and you will find good instructions.

    Gingerbread is the name for Android 2.3 and Gingerbreak is the root program.

    Read on the website I linked! xD

    Installation
    - Optional: Press the Thanks button below this post [​IMG]
    - Make sure USB debugging is enabled
    - Make sure you have an SD card (formatted and) inserted
    - Get the APK on the phone somehow, and install it
    - Open the APK, press the root button
    - Wait a few minutes. If there are no problems, the device will reboot (note that the reboot itself can take like 10 minutes due to cache wipe)
    - Make sure the Superuser app is install and working
    - Optional: Install BusyBox from Market (I personally prefer the stericsson installer)
    - Optional: Uninstall GingerBreak, you don't need it on your phone anymore
    - Optional: Make a donation [​IMG]
