Scott, ran this thing for a couple of hours now and am liking it's speed.
I like the splash and boot images that have returned for this version as well.
Wanted to let you know that MP3 trimmer is in two different locations on this ROM (1 in programs and the other multimedia).
The addition of streaming media is great but the quality is not so great.
The start up is quick from a soft reset
RAM is 54.55 with TF3d (manila) running and 63.20 without.
The fingersliding while reading emails is absent from this version and that can be annoying only because navigation on this phone can be a pain in the A** wen using the nav button (always looking for the sweet spot).
One thing I wanted to ask is if you knew why the HTC task manager always has uses the red them no matter what version of manila I am using. When I don't use manila and set my themes up, it will use whatever color is set with the theme but no matter what I try, i can't get away from the VZW red and I really am not a big fan of that color.
Noticed that Google Maps, Live search and Windows Live are not in this version but I am assuming because this is beta.
There is no SSK Online from what I have seen (Beta again?).
Can't wait to see what you do with a full release.
Thanks for all the work you put into this and every other ROM you produce for us!
