After that boot up Android and make sure you get into the actual OS (you can see the sense clock) then pull battery, reboot into WM replace rootfs with one that is known to work for CDMA (obviously only if you have a CDMA capable phone Sprint, Verizon. etc.) then reboot. I don't know if the APN config is still necessary as I didn't do a fresh install with this new system.sqsh.

The improvements I have noticed are that you can download and install apps from the market(but you can't search yet) I would just suggest using SlideMe as your market app. And you can install any apk now

Also WIFI seems to be working. I can't confirm because I don't use it.

There is a speed improvement, though on first boot and maybe just everytime you boot the phone response is slow for a minute or two.

Hope this info helps someone.

I can confirm that APN config is NOT necessary , but in my experience the Sense (much like when I tried the HERO in the flesh) was just toooooo slooowwww

I've gone back to the 4/8 Eclair build for now -the speed in that thing has me spoiled.
