Sure.
There's the lack of storage (as debated above) - it's so bad that I can't install anything but MSVoiceCommand - then I'm down to 1.6 MB (this isn't as bad in 21XXX roms).
Marketplace doesn't work and it's the only way I can get my hotmail to work. I also get things like Skyfire, Games, Shazam, but I couldn't install them anyway.
Because we have a VGA device, some of the Maxsense interface goes off the screen - the best example is when you're choosing programs for quicklinks and you can't see the top or bottom row.
I don't normally use the action screen, but it would have been helpful when I needed to add a bluetooth headset - but it doesn't work - I haven't tried other actions.
There was the quicklinks #4,5,6 that disappeared after I tried to edit them (this was later fixed with the 1.2 update)
Moving widgets around is a pain - once you release your finger the widget seems to randomly offset (but usually down and left) so you have to do it again and again - all while hoping it won't freeze or go right into the settings for a widget you were too close to.
The new battery widget in 1.2 doesn't work. It randomly switches between the correct value and 100%.
The "Alert Display Panel" widget disappears on me every now and then (without hitting the "x")
The "Favorite Contacts" widget doesn't call the contact when you press it.
One time the music "tab" never stopped refreshing. Had to reset to listen to music.
Like I said, I still love it because I can remove those top and bottom windows bars and get a really clean look. The latest Cookie screen shots looked like you could do that - I was so excited, but they were just cropped - how awesome would that be... I'm actually flashing to Cookie 1.8 right now because I need to use Google Maps while traveling tomorrow.
I'm excited about future Maxsense releases. 1.01 and 1.2 were really good for such early releases.
EDIT: As I use the Cookie 1.8 rom I'm remembering even more problems with the MaxSense rom... like not being able to play all songs of one genre (after you pick a genre there's no "all songs" tab so all you can do is pick an artist and only their songs go into "now playing" - I didn't drill down any more so it may even be limited to album).
....and that's the longest post in the history of the internet. Goodnight.
