**Update**
Ok, so much for the 3D Launcher being great, lol - it reverted back to its usual laggy, sporadic and downright awful self yesterday. Switched back to LauncherPro (tried and true!) - I don't think it has anything to do with the ROM, I just think its a poorly developed application. On another note, anyone noticing that the DSP Manager app on this ROM is the older version? Not only that, but it has a tendency to lock up and become unresponsive..

Coming from UD2.5 here.. used to be a loyal BB follower.. then BBv5 came out and was a supreme let down (a void that was filled by LFY) - took the plunge on UD 2.1 and never turned back..
But seeing a new BB version that people seemed to like.. I couldn't help but flash it.. so I did.. (did a full wipe, including partitions)
What a difference between v5 and this one.. like night and day. ROM is very snappy and smooth, although I noticed that my Droid got pretty hot with the stock slayher kernel that's on this thing.. (I'm going to chalk that up to the ROM settling in on first boot)
The New Market is pretty slick looking but it didn't restore my apps - no biggie though since I don't really have a ton to begin with. I've always hated the 3D launcher, primarily because it was slow and clunky.. not on this ROM though! - in fact, I haven't switched to LauncherPro yet because it's working so well, lol.. just wish I could change the icons on the dock..
I LOVE the new keyboard.. man, this is what it should've been from the start! I didn't think it was possible to get over my Swype fix, but this new keyboard hasn't made me want to load it up..
So far, so good - will see how well the battery life is on this thing as I put it through its paces..
