LG Esteem Rooted!!!
Oct 7th
We were able to root my LG Esteem. However there is still some things we need to tinker with to get SU and Superuser.apk working and asking your permission instead of just granting all apps root permissions.
Check back, I will be posting another one click root for the phone, once we get everything worked out.

@@@Update@@@
The OneClickRoot for LG Esteem(LG-MS91) has been posted in the forums for download
LG Esteem not a simple Root
Oct 4th
It turns out that the LG Esteem has been patched very well by LG to keep users from being able to root the device. Most known root methods have been tested on the esteem without success. So far it looks like its going to take much longer to find a working root method for this phone than most were hoping for.

LG Esteem Fund
Aug 30th
I just received my first check from google for the advertisements on the website and it was for $104. This will be going to the purchase of an LG Esteem once they become available.
Everyone who visits the website is contributing to me being able to get new android devices and blog about them even if you don’t know it. I just wanted to let everyone know and say thanks for visiting my android blog.
