It's not that it necessarily does more, but does the same things better (IMO).What does Handcent do that the stock messaging app doesnt?

Swype is beta? It's not in Android marketplace. Where do you get it?
Just picked up an S2 Skyrocket yesterday and new to the android platform. Been mulling around the thought of rooting it but because the phone is brand new I'm not sure I should. I love the phone and getting to know it has been a blast, but I was a little disappointed with a lot of the bloatware that came on it that I'm not able to remove at this time.
Rooting is worth it to remove the bloat at least. The AP app/widget specifically is known to suck battery life and data by constantly updating in the background.
Ok... uninstall the antivirus? Why is that? Is there any protection for the phone? And, Shabby, are you serious?
As for use:
Some light business - check email, read docs, nothing major or heavy. I'm considering a tablet for when prices drop next year for that.
On the personal side, light game playing, definitely price checking (I did get the Amazon app). I'm not much of a facebook user (it came preloaded). I did grab Skype, but I have to say that for some reason, the sound was horrible. The picture quality was good, though.
I'm sure that as time goes on, and I get more experienced, I'll use it more. Of course, with your help, that will come in no time! There are so many things out there that I don't know where to begin.
Thanks again!
