Thanks for the replies guys. The #1 reason I wanted to root it was to change the homescreen to something more useful.
After that, see booklover6 above!

After some going back and forth with rooting, restoring, rerooting (the Wiki is really a mess for this!) I have now successfully rooted mine.

Two questions from an android noob:

- I installed the Android Market by following these instructions (german, sorry) but it doesn't seem to work. Whenever I launch the "market" app, it remains stuck on "loading..." Could this be because of the Android Market -> Google Play switch?

- at the risk of sounding extremely stupid - do I need to keep the *.apk files where I put them even after installation?
