Installed Flash Player 10.
Opened BBCNews and playing flash videos from within the site works perfectly.No wifi issues either.
So far so good.
So nice not having Mediascape/Timescape.Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Im a happy chappy.

Wow, it tops everything on those scores. Congrats Hobbs!
Thus far what are the major improvements over Eclair?

Dups Never had a Stock Eclair ROM but compared to SE's Eclair it just feels clean without all SE's junk and Blue background everywhere.Its quite nippy overall.Definite performance and speed improvement.That is my main reason for wanting 2.2.Speed.
Stock Contact and Messaging is nice without any of that fancy shit and lag.
Flash 10 very cool.Playing Flash videos within sites is quite nice I have to admit.Didnt care much for it but now that it works its a nice addition.
My battery life seems to have improved quite alot.Been drilling this phone over Wifi the whole day and its only dropped a little.
This ROM comes pre-rooted which is also nice.
Love the new look Lock screen and notification panel.
Theyve done a fantastic job thus far.
Still setting my phone up again so will tell more when I discover more.

Lol, very true, and now he's suddenly positive about SE and their new products.
You're going to love Android when you get the Arc, today i got a 3rd party app store, Applanet, it has all paid apps free, we cant pay for apps yet here in SA so that's a great excuse to use it  i just loaded up my X10 with a ton of 'HD' Gameloft and other games as well as premium apps like Documents-To-Go full version, System Panel full version etc... This OS just keeps suprising me, just when you think you know and have the best apps for their functions you find something even better, my X10 has been on charge for the past 3 hours due to downloading game files, each around 75-120mb, that Arc must be released A.S.A.P!!

Nice one!! I'm realy tempted now! My word, shocking to know just how powerful the X10 is, someone got 1500 with theirs at XDA, SE just dont know what they have here. Have you tried the camera? And how's the web browser? A vast improvement?
If you haven't already, try Applanet, here's the latest version:

Browser has speeded up quite a bit.Going to have to install Dual Touch soon I think because Zoom onscreen keys are not present.Havent run my camera as yet.Know theres issues there so not going to even bother until resolved.You'll enjoy the clean feel of this ROM.SE screwed up bad with their overlay.For their first offering of Android they should have held back a tad and tested the watered instead of the overkill the X10 became.Hope the Arc corrects all that.

@Tsepz_GP
I'm looking forward to joining the Android world and you and Hobbs will have to help me out here and there since the both of you are now veterans of the OS and I'll be a noob
I'm with you on the X10, SE have a very powerful machine in the X10. It's a pity they couldn't unleash its full potential.

SE said Q1and the one UK provider has it listed for March while another for April 01. The Swedish ones have it listed for March. I guess South Africa is looking at May/June.
I hope Vodacom has the black one cause that's the one I like.

Dups, i wont lie,it takes some getting used to, paticularly multitasking and taskmanagement which if you remember when i got the X10 i wasn't impressed with, but what a fantastic OS it is.

Now that Ive installed the FreeX10 ROM this phone has got more of that iPhone smoothness and speed quality.SE UI weighed alot and now that its been discarded this phone is in a sense more free.
