I've started seeing two envelope notification icons at the bottom of the screen. I do have MSN and GMail accounts but I never had this happen prior to 1.4.
The new splash screens upon launching an app seem to slow the process down quite a bit. Also freezes on them and requires ending the process and one or more relaunch attempts.
I too have experienced the volume erratic behavior.
My signal strength bars aren't showing as strong of a signal in certain locations as before 1.4. Frequently have to update phone network parms.
Vibrations feel much weaker and shorter resulting in missed calls.
LOVE that we can finally set our own notifications and alarms!
Sure wish we had Flash!

One of the most significant issues I'm having is with the strength and length of the vibration setting. It seems that the new update has shortened and weakened it and I am missing a lot of texts and phone calls now.

It's always nice to start with something positive. So, with 1.4...
My battery life has doubled from 4-5 hours to 8-10! Additional 'short' ringtones are great, as I can now tell the difference when receiving a text, an e-mail, or a calendar reminder. Video recording is great, but uploading to YouTube on the first try is 50-50 at best. Nice to have the speakerphone play/output both channels (left and right) when listening to tunes via the music player. :-)
Now for the not so nice... When I take new photos, old ones randomly disappear. :-( Hard to say why this is happening, though I noticed the image naming went from 3100 to 1300. Very odd, as well as having the videos appear in the DCIM folder and not the Video folder when connected to a PC/MAC.
Still, I'm very happy with the overall improvements of 1.4. Hoping that all the WebOS bugs are exterminated with 1.4.1, very very soon. ;-)

my battery life has improved substantially, my biggest complaint is that while in an app I get repeated alerts that there's not enough memory even though I'm not trying to load another app. Even worse is when this happens when no apps are loaded at all!!

I'm also noticing signal problems as well. I may have 5 bars and when I make a call it goes down to one bar or no bars at all in areas that I never had any connection problems before. Hopefully, they can fix this problem.

Apps sometimes are stuck in card loading view. This even happens with a manually launched phone app. Normally closing the app and launching it again helps but sometimes this has to be repeated 2 or 3 times.

Battery life is actually *much* improved since the update for me. I ran 36 hours on 1 charge with the stock battery (granted not using except to read a few e-mails), when before 24 hours was barely doable if I never took it out of my pocket.
