FWIW, I've had the upgrade for a week plus I added all the color switches and toolbar etc. My phone boots up in the 50%'s then settles in at 65%. After HTC CleanRam it drops back down to about 62% then goes back up to 65%.

That is MUCH better than the initial ROM and even better than what I am getting with SPB Mobile Shell under heavy use.

Battery life I'm not sure. Seems about the same. I can go a whole day usually with moderate calling and lots of web and text without a charge though I usually charge here and there while in my car.
