I'd say most of the features on a rooted stock ROM are there, plus more.
Some of the things nookie froyo can't do yet:
- YouTube app won't play videos (see work-arounds in nookie tips thread)
- Flash runs a little choppy on some sites (until hardware acceleration is unlocked, it'll be that way). Of course, the stock ROM can't run Flash at all.
- It has problems playing Pandora and some audio files
- Market downloads can sometimes be extremely slow (this MIGHT be remedied by a faster SD card)
- Network location isn't enabled yet, so Google Maps, for example, doesn't know where you are unless you manually enter your address
Of course all of this will presumably be 'fixed' in future updates. I find it very usable right now, but others might want to hold off for a while longer.
