Do I have to root the phone before I install a standard 2.2 stock?

That will sim lock Orange UK handsets because it contains the radio update I believe?

Ok, I've got too many problems with this update (no security lock, not being able to turn off flash and the haptic feedback keyboard is always on )

How do I go back to 2.1? The phone is standard and unrooted.

for security go to Setttings > Security > Lock Phone After > turn it to immediately.

dunno about haptic feedback on the keyboard i use swype and have the options turned off for that.

The radio is flashed separately, but it does say you need to flash it. So, probably.

I'm no expert when it comes to flashing new os' on phones, but can anyone answer this please, if I was to update my stock T-Mobile Desire to 2.2 when the update shows, would I still then have the option to root in future if I wanted to?

Same here.
Theres a few very minor differences and everything does seems snappier in places where it previously lagged a bit.
But the thing thats most annoyed me is ive had to spend this afternoon recovering the phone, then remembering how i had my phone setup and install the apps from scrach again.
