My first impressions of Android 2.2 on the Nexus One

Running 2.2 now. Let me say this. It's Fast.

Good
- Everything is really snappy; opens instantly, closes quickly too
- Love the new menu bar incorporating phone and browser shortcuts
- Love the new search widget filtering options
- Love Chrome-to-Android functionality (been pushing links and directions to my phone)
- WiFi is very stable now and has a better range
- Auto-brightness is really good now (I think it only updates in between screen locks now)
- Flash 10.1 BETA support is nice, for video viewing at least
- Android Keyboard auto-complete now shows you a list of punctuations after you press

Bad
- Touch screen is still unreliable; does not detect touches at times, especially when switching between home screens
- Seesmic doesn't work anymore
- Farm Frenzy doesn't work anymore
- Power button sometimes is unresponsive; needs about 5 presses to wake screen up
- Flash enabled web pages on Flash 10.1 BETA are still laggy, not ready for prime-time
