Updated last night:
- An additional Wallpaper in Gallery(you'll start off with this one anyway)
- Didn't notice quite much change on the performance.
- Status icons (on top, battery, network,) changed
- The 2.3.3 firmware (from samfirmware) includes these additional applications: "Downloads", "BookStore", "Bewarka(Russian app which is like Hangarroo), and "MusicStore(which will be oddly on the third page alone)". The phone will boot up with a Russian language(I guess its Russian, pardon if its not) so try to change right away if you'll have difficulty navigating.
- Digital Clock fonts (the one in Phone lock mode) will change as well.
- Text pointer will change(the one when you need to get between letters, it will appear smaller box-type from previously round type)
- I checked Maps, its version 5.2.1 now, not sure if it did change
- native email client(the one associated with SocialHub) still removes read emails.
- flash still unsupported( well, it shows a 4x4 lego brick on the place holder, so I guess its not really supported yet)
- cannot root using S1Click ( I tried, try it, probably you'll have a different luck with it)
- For Filipinos depending on "uzzap" application, Jbed isnt supported yet(I think; but theres a workaround by installing J2ME Runner)
This is a good update to have, especially when you want to show off against other Samsung Galaxy Ace owners. I might not have closely noticed the changes so I guess I'm wrong with everything I've written just now ^_^

The 2.3.3 is great, installed it yesterday. Updates the video recording to 640x480 resolution. And it doesn't slow down the phone any bit.

I had mine updated last night, went out just fine, I may say noting much change, I more of an icing over cake kind of update from 2.2.1. No problem on WIFI or Cam, they functions as they're meant to be...good luck to all those who will try, russian language bids you welcome during the first boot....

wow. this must be FATE!! My husband says he wants to buy the Ace (coz I have one) to replace his aging Nokia. And I was skeptical about it, coz the OS was stuck to 2.2.
Thanks, Samsung!! Now I can tell my husband to go ahead and buy an Ace, so both of us can have an ACE-- white for me, black for him.
Cant wait for the official Gingerbread update to come out!!

I don't think it will support flash since afaik its processor doesn't support it.
And yay for Gingerbread, just got the Ace 2 days ago for 220€ and I'm lovin it!
