I just got Froyo for my Droid on Saturday. I'm not sure what I'm
missing, so I guess ignorance is bliss. I know that tethering requires
an extra charge, and Flash support will be available in another update
due in a few weeks from Verizon.
The biggest problem I have is connecting to my WPA2 OpenWRT install. I
had to back it down to WPA instead and is working fine.
As for benefits, voice actions is really nice, and moving applications
to SD lets me free up a lot of space. Applications seem snappier and
having the two additional home screens lets me drop in more widgets.
