I basically have all my apps set like I want them I don't get many foreclose errors I hate to go through all the trouble of flashing a new ROM just so I can say its new. Has anyone documented any advantages or disadvantages with the new ROM?????

4G isn't very important to me since I can't ever get a good signal its like I'm paying tew dollars for something I'll never use. I'm in the Dallas area and the problamatic switching between 3G/4G always disconects my internet connection anyway so its impossible to stream on the road. Then in my favorite spots coffee shop school work 4G doesn't work so its pretty useless.
The benefits of 1.6 courtesy of the OTA (and OMJ) are improved battery life, improved Wifi speed and strength, improved Exchange functions, and improved touchscreen-MUCH quicker, and the grounding issue is gone-you can now interact with your phone while it's laying on a table, desk, etc.
EDIT:Personally I can verify all but Exchange.

The new radio and wimax (look three post up from yours-OMJ's last one) are supposed to improve 4G.
Nand backup then flash. You can always go back.
