This is not to single you out MJH as i see that you have posted pluses as well as issues (And I have thanked you lol), This was just the only post I have seen that had the main issues people are complaining about. Also this is not a personal attack on anyone, I just am curious .

Do people just have to find a reason to complain? It is one thing to just list bugs/problems, but why are there people's hyperbolic complaints. As if this is the worst rom ever. First, why were your expectations so high? We are talking about Sprint, who suck at customer service (and pleasing their customers in general) releasing an (almost)outdated and certainly not being actively developed OS that we have had for months. Why did you expect them to reinvent the wheel?

This update is not that bad. And so far all of the "issues" I've have seen posted so far are easy to get around.

Miss the taskmanager? Install it.

Don't like the start menu? Well how long have we had access to 6.5? There are plenty of cabs out there that can get your start menu to how you want it to look.

The clock flipping IS NOT A BUG. Though most of us may not like it, it is a feature in Sense 2.5. You don't see it in most roms because the chef disabled it. Fixes for that have been around for weeks.

I have seen other "issues" that I either haven't come across or I think they sound stupid. People have complained about the taskbar, install a new one. I saw a few posts about a 2G dialer. Now excuse my ignorance if I am wrong. I know that it would give us better battery life, but with Sprint advertised as a 3G network and the first 4G network, I'm sure they wouldn't even think to put a 2G dialer in the rom.

They are the only "issues" I have actually seen on my phone. Let's be honest though. Windows 7 is coming out soon so why expect to see anything new OS wise? I know some are disappointed that it isn't 6.5.x. That I will give you lol. But any complaints about looks is just nitpicking. Sprint is a business with other phones to sell and "better" phones coming out soon. So rather than thinking of this update as a way to extend the life of our TP2, you should probably think of it as making our experience passable until we buy the next Sprint phone lol.

Worst case scenario this update will make chef's future releases that much better.

Sorry for the rant just want to get some people's thoughts.
