Well...I'm glad you're happy with your coverage, I however am not. At&t's coverage isn't great in NYC and that has nothing to do with being trendy or cool. As far as the GPS issue goes, honestly, I never had an issue with it, albeit I don't use it much. As far as Google goes, no issues here either, I love the Android OS. I like Apple too far that matter, go figure. In fact, I tend to shy away from popular opinion (as I type this on my DELL, another whipping boy as you say). I don't like At&t for a myriad of reasons, but I don't want to take up several pages detailing my gripes, some of which has nothing to do with this particular phone. I'm happy you're happy, my views and opinions remain unchanged and when my contract expires I'll have options that I may exercise, it's as simple as that. Apparently you didn't like me pointing out your optimism, so....let's just forget it. You're entitled to your views as am I.
I'm currently using Kies on a win7 64 bit machine. As far as working goes, I have to set kies as the default usb connection, and switch touchwiz back to my default home launcher, but after that mini kies works fine.
I've seen it work on a 64bit machines as well but a few users on XDA forums have pointed out issues on these machines and recommended using a 32bit machine when possible. My machine is also heavily tweaked and may be contributing to the issues I've been experiencing, my wifes netbook is practically stock and it works well.
[HOWTO] Update to JH7 using Kies Mini (USA) - xda-developers
It works on my wife's laptop and it's running 64bit Vista.

Well I'm not getting this to work. It sits there "Please connect your mobile phone" and never detects that it's been connected.
Trying this on an XP machine that's never had Kies on it before. USB Mass Storage works fine.
I've tried setting USB to "ask" then choosing Kies, as well as forcing USB to always be "Kies".
Try putting the phone in Debug Mode.
I had, but originally it didn't help. I tried a reboot though and then Debug Mode work.
Eh, whatever. It's updating now. We'll see what happens. Did my Titanium Backup so I should be prepared for the worst.
Anyhow thanks for at least confirming Debug Mode was necessary.
No problem, glad to hear it worked.
Well, I wouldn't jump to that conclusion quite yet.
Update applied, phone rebooted... now it's been on the pulsing "S" for a few minutes already, without progressing. Certainly longer than a normal boot, but I will pray this is just a normal one-time thing after flashing an update.
Try putting the phone in Debug Mode.
. Well, at least for contacts, pics, music, not for the update which I know is because of all the mods.
