I've also tried 2.0 and it does work, but it is about 30% slower than
the sharprom.  This is probably due to the unoptimized kernel or
something.  Another critical thing is that battery life seems to be
about 1/3 to 1/2 of what it is under the sharp rom.

This is indeed a serious issue.  I just lost all my A and B packages in
the little database.

Same here.  This could be related to the general errors of the database
losing entries.

Overall, this is a sweet beta.  I am impressed.  I must say that opie's
way of handling wireless profiles (differing Ssid,etc) is not nearly as
slick as Qtopia's.  Also opie under OZ in this beta at least, does not
ever shut off the wireless card when the connection is deactivated. 
This will hurt batteries significantly.
