3. New "Finger Friendly" menus
4. "Honeycomb" start / launch menu, much better then the 6.1 start menu
5. CHome / titanium , new "Windows Default" UI. VERY customizable.
6. New "pocket IE 6". Supposed to compete with Opera/Safari, has zoom capability; can render complex full web pages, etc. (Kind of a letdown though, Opera is much much better still)

That's all I can think of. I agree it is much better then 6.1. And the cooked ROMs have so many options, it's fun to try them all.

i read a few sites that said MS will get rid of this in the final verison

Does PUSH Email work in the 6.5 Roms? I've been unable to find a clear answer on here. My office Exchange server pushes the email right to my phone.

Umm, why wouldn't it? A clear answer for you, yes it still does push email with an exchange server.

I know everyone is enjoying Titanium, but does TF3D work on 6.5?

As has been stated on a few other threads TouchFLO3D will not work on the Omnia due to lack of hardware acceleration. However, Manilla2D (touchFLO2D) is almost as good and works fine on the Omnia and on 6.5. There are several ROMs that have it built in, or you can get the cab from http://winmo.sztupy.hu/m2daio.html and install it without flashing. (Make sure you have at least 20MB of free storage memory though).

good for you for jumping on the 6.5 train. You will never look back.
