I have google maps and Opera Mobile 8.65 installed, and loaded 6.1 without the "bloat". I used to have quite a time getting a gps fix in google maps on my house (I do live in the sticks), and usually it was "your location within 1000 feet" as the best I could do. Now, after slightly more time than before, I get a bead on my house every time, right down to the blue dot on my roof.
The power button, like others said, has "flashed" on mine just a couple times. What I do notice more regular is after pushing the button, a couple seconds later, it will "glow" for about one second...not a bright glow, but more faint. Does that 2 or 3 times about every 3rd or 4th time I push the button. Change that: NOW when I push the power button it does the glowing thing about every 30 to 45 seconds for about a second at a time, and will continue to do that for as long as I want to watch it happen.
I've noticed things are slow to respond after touching the screen (to open a program, the start menu, everything), even "freezing" for a second or two, then responding. I have 45MB of 85MB program memory free. I don't seem to have to push on the screen any harder, but have noticed twice that what opened was a good finger-width away from where I pressed.
I set up 6 "favorite people" the day 6.1 came out, have used them with no problem. Yesterday I go to make a call and all six are gone (still in the contacts, just gone from "favorite people")
Have good battery life.
Sorry for rambling
