Well, first of all, I’m super psyched that I grabbed the Gingerbread update while it was up.  Apparently there’s some bug with the voicemail task tray icon where it doesn’t disappear even if you have zero voicemails.

Easily remedied by a simple restart of the phone (which is healthy to do every so often anyway).

Abso-freakin-lutely worth the update that has increased my battery life and fixed a whole slew of UI bugs that were slowing down the phone recently.  I was beginning to become extremely annoyed with the Sense UI and its constant crashing and all-around non-responsive self.  Now the whole experience has been tightened up.  Fonts are smaller and sharper, icons are sharper as well, there is more functionality with the Activity Tray, the Application Tray is paged and has a cool little selection bar at the bottom..  I’m still learning about the new and updated features, but it’s been a fun adventure so far.

Typing all of that really made me feel bad for all of those HTC Thunderbolt owners that didn’t get the update before it was removed for the patch.
