Generic versions of the Samsung Galaxy S and the T-Mobile Vibrant have been rooted, and unlike the latest HTC phones like the Incredible, gaining right access to the Samsung is an easy, breezy task.

In a few simple steps, Galaxy S owners can flash their devices and modify the operating system to their hearts’ desires. One word of warning is that since only early reviewers have the Vibrant, and few in North America possess the Samsung model, almost no one has tried the rooting method yet. By the time that the Vibrant is launched next week, we should have a clearer picture of the situation.
