That's not in regards to the Thunderbolt, but I get the cut of your jib..According to this:

Some of the changes I noticed in GB were
1. Widgets were put in sub folders so when you go to add a widget you see the name of the widget only not each size of that widget. So you would just see Beautiful widget list once and once pressed it would open all the Beautiful widgets. Kinda cleans it up IMO.
2. Pictures sent in text messages were not in slide show form.
3. Turning the screen off has a cool animation.
4. Better battery life.
I noticed these when using CM7 on my Dinc so its wasn't Sense so these maybe be different.

I have a question regarding this OS update. Other people and myself have stated that they hear a "buzzing sound" while on a phone call. Whether the buzzing is in the background or while the person is speaking I guess depends on the phone. I have been mulling over exchanging my TB because of this issue with mine. It has actually gotten a little better since I first got the phone, but still does it. I have my TB set up how I like it right now, no battery issues, just the buzzing. Will the OS fix this? or should I risk it and try to replace now?
