READ IF YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO ROOT YOUR DEVICE:
______________
the simplest way: you need to have program called: GingerBreak
probably works on: android 2.2(froyo), but on 2.3 works surely.
when you download it, install it and click on ROOT DEVICE
wait 1-2 minutes, your device will reboot and ba-dum-tsss: you have root!
surely there is unroot button
