Question by Crip Ryda: What are the big cons of rooting your Android phone other than voiding the warranty?
I am looking at rooting my android phone (captivate) so I can do wifi hotspots without having to tether it. Is it worth it?

Big con is messing up your phone, if you do the wrong thing (depending on the method of rooting you do), and turning your phone into a paper weight.
But the good news is it’s fairly hard to get to a point that you can’t undo a botched root. You void the warranty only of you can’t unroot the phone to have warranty work done or get replacements if needed. This is the main reason all the root directions include backing up your original ROM, so it can be re-installed if need be.
