How to root a cell phone?

I just bought a kyocera rise and I hate all the pre installed apps and it makes my fone run choppier than my old phone. Even though this one is brand new, android 4.0 and with a 1 ghz processor vs my old one which had 40 apps and a 600hz processor . I need help

    true, rooting an android and getting Titanium Backup to delete the bloatware can be done easily................. BUT........... please understand that OEMs AND Wireless Carriers tie their Android OS updates into their Bloatware (the preinstalled apps you hate)............... If you do decided to EVER delete bloatware, you will NO LONGER be able to install android OS updates. Oh, you will get the Update notification, and be able to download the update... but the install will always always ALWAYS fail............

    so............. marinate on that for a day or 2...... whats is more important to you????

    1) Stock Android OS updates (you must keep ALL bloatware!)

    or

    2) No more Stock Android OS updates and the The deletion of Bloatware.... root the phone ------ http://androidforums.com/hydro-all-things-root/607... -------- you can always custom rom the phone, if a custom rom of the new android OS on the Kyocera rise even exists... if so, my butt cant find one... LOL
