I installed it, updated the kernel, and ran some benchmarks.
15.2MFlops in LinPack, 1187 in Quadrant. Did the UA tweak for the browser for Hulu and played back a Simpsons ep smooth as butter. The 3D launcher is also much smoother and faster than previous incarnations, but I don't think I'm going to switch from ADW any time soon.

Installed it also. It's pretty smooth so far.

edit: Couple quick tips

For Hulu:
1. launch the stock browser, type "about:debug" in the URL field and hit enter
2. click the menu button, more, settings, scroll to the bottom of settings and change the UAString to desktop
3. go to hulu.com/widget/player to watch videos


To get Clockwork Recovery working again, flash SPRecovery, reboot, then flash Clockwork.

edit: Cool, sigs in stock corporate email now.

I just had to reboot and reflash Clockwork.

If I installed this will disabling Flash be hard? I know Flash is included in the update and I definitely don't want that shit on my Droid.

You can enable plugins "on demand" or turn them off completely.

Sweet.

So how long before Verizon actually rolls it out to end users?

More important questions to ask, When will the Froyo source be posted? and When will Cyanogen release a version based on it?

I installed it but couldn't get my exchange mail working to save my life so I reverted back. Can some one tell me exactly how they set theirs up?

It works fine in 2.1 for me.

I just set it up like I did with 2.1. Nothing different aside from entering something to use for my signature.

yes, and it wasn't included for me, i had to download it from the market.

I reinstalled the Flash beta & set it to on demand, much better experience now...

I just don't click on the Flash stuff... Maybe on 4G it's more tolerable, or with a faster processor & or larger screen...

i have it on ondemand too, but i find it really nice when i go to a news site and there's a video or something. works as well as youtube on 3g. but then again tmobile 3g is pretty quick in NY

The new release "feels" smoother than the initial leaked ROM.

Being given the CHOICE to use Flash isn't something you're used to. Isn't it great to have the choice to use it or not? I know many of you guys aren't used to being given choices to use things on their devices.

Strange sensation, isn't it.
