Here is the list of the issues I'm having now on GB that I didn't have before on Froyo:
1) Freezing - probably 3+ times a week
2) Random Rebooting - probably 2+ times a week
3) Overall laginess when opening apps, starting the browser, refreshing/syncing apps, and general use of the phone. I've been on GB since VZW released it and it has seemed MUCH slower doing everyday functions than when it was on Froyo.
4) Battery life is worse - my phone died during normal use maybe two times in the 9 months I had it before GB, now it dies roughly 2 or 3 times a week. And I'm using the stock Moto extended battery.
5) 3G vanishing and requiring a reboot
6) Activsync only sends me emails every few hours even though that's not how it was set. I also had an issue when I first downloaded GB that my Hotmail account would not show up in my accounts. I had to change the password in my Hotmail account, and jump through some hoops to just get it to work right and show up in my accounts.
7) Can't long press icons in my app drawer to add them to the homescreen. I have to manually click on the homescreen and add an app shortcut.
The list could go on. And as much as I've been an Android fanboy and really have loved this thing, it has forced me to jump to the iPhone whenever the next one comes out in a couple of months. I don't want to deal with these issues, nor do I think I should. My DX has gone from the best phone I've ever had to one of the worst, and I now hate this thing. I know that's harsh, but it's a slow piece of garbage that reboots on me and freezes on me when it used to be reliable.
