I don't have the full breakdown on differences. The only truly beneficial NEW function (not simply improved) I can state is the threaded SMS. But the memory management is something that's been stated in many places, and it's something I can attest to. I don't get a 100th as many out-of-memory errors as I did with 6.0, I don't have to clear my memory anywhere near as much, and performance is definitely better. As well, the newer builds have drastically more memory available than 6.0 or earlier builds of 6.1. I'm sorry, but the fact that it's 6.1 DOES make it better, as it's the refinement of 6.0. They built the OS, released it, then went back and figured out what needed tweaking and did it. I really don't see any logical reason NOT to upgrade, as there's nothing WORSE about it than 6.0. So unless you're extremely resistant to flashing, I don't know why you'd want to avoid upgrading.
