OK now that we've had about a week to digest the new Sprint ROM, I thought I would compile my own list of what is good and what are some issues with the new ROM update. It's been a dizzying week trying to keep up with all the updates and issues. Honestly I'm doing this thread for myself so I can EASILY keep track of some the current issues/threads that are being discussed about the new ROM. But if people want to chime in, I'll certainly keep on updating this thread. (Again, this is just a list for reference and NOT a thread to discuss specific issues).
Carrier: Sprint
DCD 3.0.0 ROM
The Good:
1. GPS Functionality (no brainer). The update seems to be lock faster than the leaked ROM. There has been many success stories.
GPS FAQ: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=363431
2. EVDO Rev. A Speeds. It varies in your area but it seems like the majority are getting it:

3. Some minor updates.
Some Issues (these are the ones I've been following)
1. Slow IE
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=376746
FIXED (Thanks Ranger 093 - See Post #2)
2. Some Battery Issues: (although my battery life seems about the same). There are quite a few threads on this one. Didn't really find one that encompasses everything or found any specific cause.
3. No Bluetooth DUN - (actually read about this on PPC geeks). ICS and WMWifiRouter seems to work OK.
Seems to be a solution but I haven't tried it yet:

4. Audio adapter Issues: Looks like there is a fix but it required modification of your adapter.

Check out Post #14 for a diagram
5. SMS problems - I don't use this but if someone wants to chime in I can update it.
6. No GPS lock after Mogul goes to sleep: No solution yet but keeping my eye on it.
7. WM5Storage not compatible with Mogul
Evidently there is a hacked fix for it. Haven't had time to test it out yet. (see post #19)

Overall, for me the advantages outweigh the disadvantages but I will still be following them closely, hoping that there will be fixes for all this issues.
