Speed = wow. I thought the March 5th was excitingly fast (didn't flash to 7th because of the ebook, docs, footprints, etc being included) but this seems to be just as fast. I'd like to attribute the speed to the pagepool being set to 20mb, I had my 5th at 26 and sometimes opening multiple tasks got a little slow and seemed they didn't want to close fully even through arkswitch (which I don't like). The 20mb pagepool is working out great so far and is a great balance since I've experienced not ONE temporary lock up in Sense. Since 10am @ 90% battery, it is now 2:20, wiped device twice, flashed twice, I've used texting heavily, activesync push mail, another mail account updating every hour, lots of customizing because of fresh flash, auto-backlight option being used (owe a lot to this), had ninjaducks disable services cabs installed all except twitter, browsing ppcgeeks and facebook and another site, weather every hour, used the twitter tab frequently: currently sitting at 59% battery with 45,668 K free of memory according to arkswitch. Usually my battery lasts longer after a few days of being on the ROM so this is good news to me. Sprint MMS works out of the box, only add-on is the MMS Fix 2.1.

CHT is excellent... using the "simple" animation and it is very fluid. No lock ups like I've had on the March 5th edition of Sense.

Twitter display in landscape is now messed up again both viewing recent tweets and in update mode, on the 5th edition the landscape displayed perfectly.

So far my experience on this release is EXCELLENT. Fastest 2.5 ROM I've used hands down. If you want speed, looks (I usually change the theme and taskbar so to each their own) and can bare with the essentials to keep your battery alive to the end of your day (for those of us who cannot charge all day like others) this ROM is what you want.
