Overall, I'm pleased with this update. I like the new copy/paste, new reboot options, and other subtle changes, like the flip clock in sense actually flipping. There are a few new options in the sound menu and the hardware portion of the about phone part of the settings menu is more detailed which is cool. I also like how the applications section of the settings was redone. I like that when u click on the apps that are on SD sub section, it shows all the apps on the card as well as what's not on the card but that can be moved there. Battery life also seems to have gotten better.
The only "issues" I've had, if u wanna call them that are the voicemail indicator periodically popping up, having to reenter username and passwords to a few sites I had bookmarked, missing album art on some of my music, having to reset my alarm and alarm ringtone and I had to setup launcher pro as my launcher again. For whatever reason after the update sense was designated as my default launcher. I wouldn't call these things bugs or issues really, more like minor annoyances.
As far as the "bugs" being reported a lot of them seem to me to be mostly third party apps like Netflix which aren't working properly. I wouldn't necessarily call these issues or bugs, the majority of android devices are on froyo not gingerbread. Therefore some apps are optimized for 2.2 not 2.3.3 Just because a developer hasn't updated their app and its not working with gingerbread right now is not reason to label the update as bad or buggy. To me a buggy update means after applying it there was a
loss in stock functionality. not being able to talk, connect to 3G/4G/wifi, send/receive pic or txt messages, take pix, browse the web, randomly rebooting, force closing randomly, or having a bricked device.
