Im pretty sure they have already figured out a way to root it...if they havent, they will shortly.

Most of the android phones are exactly the same besides the manufacturer customizations......So it wont be difficult to do, if it hasnt already been done.

i just got my wavebox anti-glare screen protector for my X.  not sure how i like it so far.  i'll have to see how the screen looks in the sunlight tomorrow.  it makes white screens look really grainy.  might order a Steinheil Ultra Crystal protector.

pardon the ignorance but what exactly does "rooting" do? I just got android....should i do it? 
Rooting can improve battery life or performance either by overclocking [speeding up your CPU] or by underclocking [ slowing down your cpu to conserve battery life]
Ability to load Custom Roms

USB/Wifi Tethering although you can use PDAnet USB tethering without rooting.

Load certian root apps like TitaniumBackup [delete bloatware apps loaded by carrier] Shootme [screen shot app] & etc

Recovery Flash - backup & restore your phone, save apps on SD card

Rooting is much easier now since OneClick came about
isn't the 'hotspot access' wifi tethering?

Yes, I rooted my phone 2 days after i got it. Best decision so far, I tether for free now. I also have a different rom set. Only scare is bricking your phone but after completing the process i seriously think you have to be slow or mentally impaired. I guess they have a 1 click root now. Do the research and if you feel like rooting is in your best interest then definitely do it.
