my experence with the 3.3 upgrade

I started this bright and early Sunday morning, I D/Led the 3.3 rom, and read this thread and the bug thread to see what I was getting into.

I did the following, and have yet to run into a error using my apache. (I don't use Iguidance)
1. I started with my system at wideawake's 2.2 with my own trimmed up ext_rom

2. I backed up all the data on my phone to my PC that thought I would need (Custom skins, data files etc I use outlook so contacts were already taken care of)

3. then I formated the miniSD card

4. hard reset let that finish completelty.

5. installed the latest official Sprint rom let that install fully

6. installed helmi-Cs 3.3 and hard reset and let that install fully

7. unlocked the ext_rom Trimmed it back to what I want and hard reset again.

8. looked around and tested a few things make sure the system looks good.

9. called *2 and got the latest prl (that was fast!)

10. moved the .dlls for pic and vid. I don't use smart dial so didn't bother with that edit (tho it was working, and I had to disable it in the menu)

11. did a dozen or so appearance and usability reg edits (removing tray icons, disabling flight mode, etc)

12. installed more software than I thought I had (amazing how fast that stuff collects) Most to main memory (old habits die hard)

13. everything seemed good and stable and even annoyed a few friends making them contact me to test.

14. finally bit the bullet and unlocked ext_rom, backed up the cabs in there and installed voice command (and .net once I need it) to there to free up storage.

15. still works, and I am left with 21 meg storage 6.1 meg ext_rom free (for comparison I had ~14 megs free before )

The system seems faster over all, and the boot speed is noticeably faster only a couple seconds slower than my old cell phone.

The whole process took me about 5 hours, including when my dog's tail hit my pc's power button (Mastiffs they are as dumb as the are big)

One thing I did notice that program memory is using ~2-3 megs more than it did, and it seems that voice command is using almost a meg more than I remember. I am running 18 megs free so I assume I am still good there. any thoughts?
