I think Titanium is nice, but I prefer TF3D2. I prefer the 6.1 start menu, just because of the MRU (why take that away?).

The main advantage of TF3D2 in my opinion is the Calendar tab, which I find extremely useful.

You can add that feature back in 6.5, just to let you know

As for those who say it is more finger friendly well thats only if you never leave titanium...everything else is just as unfinger friendly as 6.1....

UNLESS you install HTC menu enhancements and ezinput which works just as well on 6.1 as it does on 6.5!

Did you notice the battery increase? I went from a half day to a full day, with 200-300 texts a day, plus email and data usage. I know it depends on the ROM, but it seems to be across the board on this.

Finger friendly is relative. i havent had a problem using either, even with my fat fingers. and if i do have a problem, that what the stylus is for right? i must say that the 6.5 menu is easier to use, a little bigger icons and the offset makes it a little easier to click the right app.

TF3D has just run it's course with me. I Just plain ol can't stand it.

Anybody know how to select multiple files in total commander or in the email in 6.5? I've noticed that some 6.1 ROMs don't do it. I imagine for 6.1, there is a setting or file that does that.

I like TF3d, but mostly cause I'm comfortable with it. I figured out how to keep my favorite icons on top even after I flash (don't remember how, probably a reg setting). I also prefer the old start menu, but wouldn't mind trying 6.5 some more. But that scrolling thing drives me nut!!!

I didn't see much of a battery increase with 6.5....no...
But I have mostly run tweaked 6.1's that already give me excellent battery usage.
The key to the battery is really radio control. Push Internet and 5min mail checks are what really kill the batteries.

I'm more concerned about missed calls which happens a lot on 6.5
Probably less so now that DCD and a few more stable leaks have come on the scene.

I'm a video engineer on a mobile production truck and my phone is my most important tool so until more of the bugs are shaken out of 6.5 I won't be cooking with it anytime soon.
I even stayed away from TF3D 2.0 until the tachi dialer came out and made it work correctly.

It's getting much better but I was commenting on the fact that very little has actually changed between the two...MS has to do a better job if they don't want to lose all their marketshare to the apple weenies!
