The Android 2.2 (nicknamed Froyo) update is now out!
I would highly recommend getting it. I installed it a few hours ago and have been playing around and all-in-all have been very impressed. The only downside, which was expected, was that Sprint disabled the native bluetooth/USB tethering feature which is built-in to Froyo since they continue to charge $30/month extra if you want to use that service.
Here is the CNET rundown on the list of new features, however these are only the bigger features... as there are lots of other small updates as well.

FWIW my favorite things:
1) Full-on Flash 10.1 support! Friggen awesome.
2) Overall faster! Everything is just a bit faster than before which makes sense since all apps run in a JVM, and for Froyo there was a serous speed improvement in the JVM implementation.
3) Faster Javascripting in the web.
4) Installing/Moving apps to the SD card.
