While you are packing your camping equipment to sleep outside a Best Buy/Radio Shack so as to be first in line to buy an Evo 4G, do some research and find out how to root Sprint’s WiMAX smartphone.

I apologize for embedding the out of focus video. The XDA Developers thread provides a straightforward and easy to follow guide on how to root HTC’s Evo 4G. Personally, I would not root the Evo because I would rather have Eclair with Sense UI than a custom ROM without, even if it is FroYo flavored. Due to the Evo’s profile, I expect HTC/Sprint to prioritize an Android 2.2 update for the device.
