I like it quite a bit
- love the darker theme with the black notification bar. Not only is it aesthetically nicer, its easier to read and see.
My initial reaction to some of the squared and simplified look of things like the phones dial pad wasn't all that warm but I'm sure I'll get used it and forget about it fast.
- love the old school tube tv effect when we turn it off(would be nice if the audible click was synchronized with it but its no biggie. Must be an OCD thing
)
- It seems to be snappier. Could be my head, could be because of the update but the overall feel of the phone and some of the apps I've used so far feel a little quicker
- I seem to have more space available
.....
Hopefully, it stays this way but I seem to have gained some internal memory. Don't know how or why but its gonna spoil me...for a short time at least
- I really like the security patterns green glowing circles when you swipe the pattern.
- The glow that shows you that you have reached the end of the scroll is really nice.
- The Download app seems interesting, haven't really had a chance to look at it much but it seems handy.
- The GB upgrade I was looking forward to the most, improved copy and paste, ie, being able to copy web page texts, is a minor disappointment. Its definitely an improvement for sure as we couldn't do it at all before but I was sad to see that the copy and paste function off of web pages only works in the stock browser. It doesn't seem to work in the Dolphin browser which is what I usually use
I guess I'll give the stock browser a chance again
Edit: I have no idea if it existed before GB but Dolphin has a copy text feature thats in the Menu. Menu>More>Select Text. Once you select that, go to your desired text on the web page and the GB style pointed orange cursors appears to allow your text selection.
- Like Maris mentioned, Launcher Pro's 3D app drawer doesn't work right and needs to be set back to the normal drawer. I'm sure LP will upgrade in due time. Come to think of it, I guess they'll be a lot of updates on various apps this coming week.
- I noticed it uploaded the newest Google Maps automatically. I haven't updated certain apps in months and maps was one of it. It also loaded Google Books or something automatically. As long as you don't open it or install the updates, it doesn't seem to take up space if any. Install the update and it'll reach 4MB! I can't imagine ever reading say, a Charles Dickens novel on a phone but hey, we can if we want too!
Edit:Argh, it won't allow me to deselect "Automatic Updates". Why does Google have to push a book app?
- The new native battery usage chart/graph is cool.
-Love the Google Voice widget, especially the shortcut to compose a new sms msg. I could now simply click once on the widget instead of having to open GV>menu>compose msg. I always thought it was a bit tedious.
- Swype's multi word choice pop up doesn't work as it won't allow you to choose a word. It highlights the keyboard and makes an error sound or something when you try to
Thats about what I could think of so far. Its definitely made me appreciate the N1 a bit more today, thats for sure
