##improved over all performance##
*Web pages load more quickly, in Dolphin

*Screen transitions in apps are smoother, though it's cosmetic
*improved load speed for youtube
*running cooler
**new bugs**
some car chargers are seen as USB devices which may disable the SD card depending on settings
HTC Mime and Droid X keyboards cause constant force close
Runs warmer
Paid apps are not able to be purchased. Solution is a hard reset for now
free Apps not showing up in download history. solution is a hard reset or update a current app
gmail not pushing email on 2nd account.
No MMS over wifi
If any of this stuff was there in eclair please correct me so i can update this. And if you guys want me to keep this thread updated with what you guys find please let me know.
Thanks to everyone for looking for these changes and helping to document them here. Hope this helps everyone get excited for the official release as well gets people going when they do get it. So once again thanks to the many of you that have posted here.
