In fact, I've always found the Google Maps navigation+the Car Dock Navigation mode to be better than the iPhone's. It's easier to use and more efficient.

I am contemplating rooting my phone to try out a few new features but I'm satisfied with Touch Wiz 4 as it does bring a lot to the table (even though I've been on CyanogeMod on my Nexus One and Nexus S for years.)
Agreed that Firefox is garbage. That's why its beta. Recommendations are dolphin hd, miren,opera or xscope.

Why don't people use the stock Gingerbread browser? I find it to does the job well on my Nexus One. Occasionally I load up DolphinHD on my tablet, but otherwise I actually find that browsing on the default browser does the job fine (heck, I like it even better than the iOS Safari browser!).

Yeah, themes for Go launcher are pretty nice.
Was using Color Dots but just switched to Stained Glass today.

Just found out about desktop transition effects and really digging the cube(inside) transition.


These are my lockscreen and desktop for now. Still tinkering with the layout.
Oh and if you do use the widgets from Go Launcher, get the transparent skin. It'll look THAT much better.

Why don't you post YOUR settings since your battery life isn't great...Then we can guide you on how to tweak your settings to get the most out of your battery.

- brightness levels, data syncs, background data, 3G, wifi, location etc.etc.

Brightness is low, automatic turned off.
3G on
Gps on (i think it's only used when that circle icon thing blinks on top)
wifi off.
background data -linkedin, twitter, fb, google (under accounts and sync?)

The best part is, even though the brightness is at the lowest, you can't even tell. It's still SO vivid!

MiKrofT, I'm having troubles trying to understand these firmware updates. I'm still running Gingerbread 2.3.3 and my firmware is KF3...

There is supposed to be a few new updates (particularly one that updates me to 2.3.4) but when I connect to Kies, it says "Software is up to date."

Is everyone else running 2.3.4?

That's cause 2.3.4 builds are currently leaked releases and not official. They also have better battery life due to android os bug fix. Kf3 is one of the slightly older versions. My phone came with kg2 outta the box. I'm running 2.3.4 kg3 and will soon be flashing kg6. The best rom to go with is villainrom. Its close to stock with some optimization to make it better.
