I took the liberty of showing you guys what gingerbread looks like- on video. New features include Android 2.3.4 (but no video chat on G-Talk?), new T-Mo bloatware, quick settings, etc. check it out!

Thank goodness YouTube has a mute button.
Thanks for the vid. I could be wrong, but isn't this the first Sense ROM to have Android 2.3.4? Every other version of Sense I've seen has had 2.3.3. Cool!
Thanks I can't wait til this update gets to my phone

thanks for the video
Thanks dude, the update doesn't look like it changed much...They could have at least given us the 3.0 lockscreen and change the dock. I hate that dock...
Thanks for the video nice to see what we are going to get

First, thanks guys! I'm glad you guys appreciate the video, and for the record this is the ROM that was leaked on Monday, but it's the same as the one T-Mo is rolling out
and my screen works fine, it's just harder to use when your making a video the update didn't do anything screen wise

My screen is very responsive running on Virtuous Unity. I noticed that too on the video. I'd hope an update wouldn't make your screen unresponsive. He may not have been touching right those few times. Also, some apps get like that from time to time where they get a little unresponsive
so basically nothing changed like i dont really see a difference looks wise i mean i would rather flash and all so i can get nice themes and all

It's true, when I tried pulling down Quick Settings I was pulling on the MyTouch logo, and other times just too little touch

Turn Around Pt. 2- Flo Rida
I noticed that they changed the camera as well, it now has more effects. The calculator has been tweaked as well. And this may be just me, but the battery life seems better. I'm still in green and usually by now I'm in yellow.
Has there been any issues from the OTA update, other than not being able to root? Has the suspend issue been fixed?
I love the fact it has the "4G" instead of "H"

random reboots, battery pulls due to freezing, terrible battery life.
just wait till gingerbread is out then get the phone.
the only problem I've had with my phone is just the gps taking a long time to lock.. Other than I've been problem free and great battery life
My first one was crashing all the time. I just got a new one and it hasn't crashed yet, but the backlight is too intense and bleeds through. Wait for the S2.

Seems pretty cool. But very slow... Takes forces to load and download. Anyone else having problems?

I just installed about half hour ago and I have to say it's fantastic! Google is on UI TEAR right now #winning.
I really like how they condensed the app list into two columns and made each smaller. It now shows 14 apps per page on my Sensation where the old Market only showed like 5 or 6. Makes scrolling through content much faster.
I also really like the additions of the "Top Grossing", "Top New Paid", "Top New Free", and "Trending" categories. Will make app discovery much more useful!
My only gripe is that it doesn't show the file size for an app UNTIL you start downloading. This is info that needs to stay up front!
I agree with just about everything you said. They did great with the new market. So you are not. Having the same speed issues as me?

Oops I left that part out. It IS a lil slow compared to the old market, little lag but nothing too crazy. I think mostly b/c there is much more info on each page now and the way it loads the thumbnails/images, even though they are smaller. I'm sure they will iron it out quickly though
Google did an amazing job.
It looks so clean and beautiful, everything is organized better, etc. And I'm not having the slow loads or anything that you are having. It's actually faster. With the old market you would click download and it would take a second or 2 to start, but on this new market I click download and it's literally instant. I love it.
It actually looks like a market that should be on a high end OS/phone, unlike the old market.
Slow for me as well. It'll take a while to get used to the new format, but so far so good.

just trying it out too -- its pretty slick. The front page is a little busy perhaps, but overall its great.
I'm liking it as well.
Installed it earlier.. Love it!!
new market is slick as hell. I love it. I don't really notice too much of a lag compared to the old market, which I hated in the first place especially in landscape mode. The new one looks more sophisticated.
fyi, in case nobody caught on, when you hit the menu button and go into setting while in the market, you can deselect "recieve interest based ads". I don't know if that had anything to do with it but I really don't have any lag. Also, I pulled the battery right after I installed it so some of you guys might wanna try that too.
It has to be about 2 months now and i haven't received a OTA notification for the 3.x update of the market app I'm still running the stock 2.3.6 version, anybody know what's up with this?
And yea i know i can get a ripped .apk from just about anywhere dealing with android info, but I'm trying to not do that this time around

New market is just painfully slow. Sure it looks nice but even with good 3G/4G or WiFi it takes forever to load sometimes.
Not for me...

I don't know why you've got lag. I'm using baadnewz insertcoin ROM with the new market, and it's fast as ****. Perhaps you should change to a better ROM

Funny I'm using Insertcoin 3.4.0 that you have listed in your sig. It's just the new market is much more image intensive and take a while to initially load. I speed test in the 4-6mbps range with my HSPA+ and it still takes a few seconds of watching the "loading" screen when I first launch market. On edge it can take 10-15 seconds.
I wasn't aware that the market actually notified you about there being the actual market updates, I thought it updated itself silently behind the scenes.

it probably doesn't notify but i haven't even received the behind the scenes update... it's kind of ridiculous to wait this long when they've already updated the new version 2 times over....

This is on the ics rom. I'm sure they all do this?
If you go into system settings,about phone and on android version 4.0.1 click on it a bunch of times and you will get a surprise, then click home button. repeat this about four times and you will get animation. I thought it was pretty cool!

You're doing it wrong, to get the flying Androids all you have to do is hold your finger down on the little droid you see when you tap software version repeatedly.

People who knew about Zombie Art in Gingerbread knew Google must have hidden another easter egg in ICS. There's also an easter egg, Rocket Launcher. It was supposed to be a feature in ICS called 'Dreams', which is basically a screensaver for your phone. Pretty cool, shoulda came to ICS

Okay so here's some quick impressions about the rom.
- Boot animation is the classic ICS animation. The edges are a little messed up it seems.
- First boot took only about 3 mins for me. Then I was at the startup screen
- A little bit of lag from screen to screen.
- Camera app loads but freezes on taking a picture.
- Wifi endlessly turns on for me.
- UI elements take a long time to populate sometimes.
- UI elements go bad (portions of the screen are all black).
***Performing a reboot.
- Rebooting fixed the wifi issue, and UI elements going black and stuff.
** I would probably flash ICS rom, load it up, reboot after awhile and then flash the gapps.
- Voice Search Isn't working for me.
- Sound Works
- HQ youtube works better than LQ? Seems that way.
- Speedtest on T-Mobile gave me a ping of ~100, 345kBps D 301 kBps U (3G / HSPA+ seems to work).
- Chrome Beta sorta works. There's a force close for me when you click the open tabs. Webpages render though.
- Video Playback doesn't really work natively.
- Phone Calls work
- Google Talk
- Front Facing camera works for Google+ Hangouts. Doesn't work for backfacing though.
