Gingerbread Impressions/Complaints

[Deleted User]

I'm on the fence:

Like: USB connectivity seems a lot faster
Like: Automatic APP2SD - this is really good
Like: Better bluetooth headset control (allegedly, haven't tried it yet)
Like: More memory, if that's actually the case.

Dislike: My phone has rebooted itself twice now, never did that before
Dislike: With a passion - my work can push security policy to my phone through Exchange now. Couldn't do it before. Now it has to have a screen lock, and I hate this while I'm in the car.
Dislike: It's duplicated some albums in my music list for some reason. All my songs are ID3 tagged and now it's decided it likes some songs so much it will list them twice.
Dislike: Battery. I think it's worse, especially when using the phone, seems to drop quicker.

Don't Care: What colour my notification bar is.

Battery Update: I'm at 9% after 41 Hours and 17 minutes since 100% charge on my Google Nexus One. Screen use has been about 3.5 hours, talk time about half hour. I don't know what's changed but I'm now really happy with the battery. I usually have wifi and bluetooth on, GPS off, sync on, and Aquarium live wallpaper. I'll be staying with 2.3.3

WOW!!! That's just amazing battery life for mostly 'standby'. Best I got on 2.2 was 30hrs, lol. But that was basically doing nothing on the phone XD

GB is trash on my N1!! I hate it. Nothing but crashes, mostly while trying to use the keyboard. I also can never move app shortcuts to the homescreen without glitches. I've already done a factory reset and erased my SD card as well. I hate this POS update, only because of the frustrations I have now with simply getting my phone to work. I'm currently trying to figure out how to revert to 2.2 and maybe go up to 2.3.3 again manually without the OTA thing, which I've heard causes some problems.

What I'd like to do is like you do with a PC. WIPE(format) the phone and start with a fresh OS install. I don't know how to do this.
