You gain the ability to have total control of your phone. You'll be able to install apps that will allow you to speed up or slow down your processor and other fun stuff that will make your phone run faster, smoother and better.
I rooted my phone to get rid of the crap that came with it that was taking up valuable internal storage space and to speed up my processor.

You can void you warranty but I don't know of and haven't heard of anyone having a warranty issue after rooting an Android phone. I rooted my last phone as well and had to return it after I dropped it and cracked the screen. No issues what so ever. They actually sent me two replacement phones, but that's another story.

- I found it was worth it. It still ended up costing me $120 for the replacement but it would have cost me $500 if I wanted the same phone - Krusty Jan 23, 12:17
Speaking of, there is now an untethered jailbreak for iPad 2 and iPhone 4S. nm - Dignan Jan 23, 12:14
So, if I root my phone and break it they will send me 2? If I root those, break them and send them in will I get 4!?! -- nm - Spawn - Blood Feud Lord and Master Jan 23, 12:10 5
- Nice deal, right?!? - Krusty Jan 23, 12:13 4
  - I did call them and try to get them to take back the extra phone, they just didn't seem to want it. - Krusty Jan 23, 12:15 3
    - I seem to recall this, so you are okay in my book. -- nm - Spawn - Blood Feud Lord and Master Jan 23, 12:15 2
      - Thanks. :-) I have a very guilty conscience. I couldn't keep it without making some effort to return it. - Krusty Jan 23, 12:18 1
        
        Heh. I bought some stuff at Target at lunch and the check-out girl was flirting with me pretty hard. I got back and was looking at the receipt and - Spawn - Blood Feud Lord and Master Jan 23, 12:27
