Anytime is fine to root the phone. Just make sure that you are thorough with recovery procedures, in case things go wrong. Rooting by itself does not guarantee ability ot uninstall bloatware.

OTOH, after finally inserting the SIM into this phone (which took two days due to sheer laziness in transferring contacts from the old phone to the new) I was pleasantly surprised to get a message about 6 months of free 3G (1GB pm) from Vodafone. They probably think that the user will get so used to 3G that s/he will not want to give it up after the trial period, little knowing that cheap ol' me will leech their 6 free GB and then happily revert to Edge unless some provider comes out with a reasonably-priced 3G plan!
