Anyone have it?
Seems pretty cool: http://www.android.com/versions/lollipop-5-0/

One of the features that strike me the most are:

- you can log in to your phone from any other phone, say I can take my wife's phone - log into my account and I have my own contacts and everything
- 90 min longer battery life

Whats everything? Hows it different than what you can do now? Just add an account, put in your info and you get your contacts......

Will it be possible to reroot right after or I'll have to wait the developers decided what to do?

Android 5 plugged a bunch of security holes, so if you take a stock OTA and have a locked bootloader, it's possible that won't be able to reroot.

Correct, Almost always though you can try enabling survival mode in supersu pro, good luck!

According to what I've read, that won't help any more.

I reread it, and it only says possibly.

Downloaded the updated Gmail app 5.0. So far seems really nice.

From the Play Store?

No, had to download the update file from online.

I don't even lock my phone half the time but I still thought this made a lot of sense.

I'm reading a lot of complaints about Lollipop slowing down people's phones. Should I just not accept the update when it finally comes around to Sprint?
