Hello all! I have a PE and upgraded from 1.13 to 2.2 yesterday. I had moved my library to the SD card and expected to lose my configuration since I'd seen somewhere in the forums that this wasn't supported. I was pleasantly surprised after the upgrade to find everything intact - right down to my reader history list.

I am very, very pleased with the upgrade. Below are my experiences from using it for most of the afternoon yesterday:

I installed the only app I had been wanting and had been unable to get due to the Android version - Dolphin HD - and it installed beautifully from SlideMe. So far no crashes but I haven't used it extensively.

SlideMe acts a little strange - when you install something it bounces back to the compatability check screen and I had several installations going at the same time because it wasn't apparent it had excepted my install request. I'm going to try uninstalling the app and reinstalling it today to see if that clears up.

The camera and camcorder now have a MUCH better picture than they did! They were useless to me before and, yes, I'm sure I removed the plastic ;-)
When browsing through the app list though, I now have TWO versions of "camera" - v1 and v2.2.1

None of the apps that have the "Move to SD" available actually would go. I got the error "Failed to move application" on every one I tried.

I had to uninstall and reinstall the Amazon app store but it works beautifully now.

Angry Birds will not install. It installed before but would not run correctly, now it won't install at all. Angry Birds Rio from the Amazon app store installs and runs beautifully though.

The calendar now syncs with Google! Yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (update - I may be mistaken about this... still testing to be sure)

I have hibernated and resumed many times with no problems, even with wireless on and connected when I closed the PE.

Overall I am VERY pleased. Froyo is MUCH faster and more responsive than 1.6 was. I turned off all the "bells and whistles" such as screen slide in and fade in and out and it just flies. Thank you Entourage!
