The sad thing is it looks like you're right about the phone calls which I think is a major mistake. It was confirmed today that Glass will tether to Android/iOS for 3G/4G data. That pretty much ends my interest in owning Glass.

I think excluding phone hardware from Glass is insanely stupid, but given that's the reality, I can't argue against the importance of integration anymore.

Hopefully in a few years they will truly integrate them into a single piece of hardware and then we will have a piece of hardware which might be worth buying. If Glass is just to be a glorified Bluetooth headset, I'd rather have contacts.

Personally, I feel for this guy. Verizon has been the bane of my existence for the past three months. I can especially relate to being transferred multiple times only to have to retell my story each time from the beginning. They sold me home phone/wireless internet equipment and services they assured would work for my upcoming needs. After the move, I spent about three weeks daily with tech support and customer service only to find out it was completely incompatible with my set up. Adding insult to injury I was charged $350 for early termination of the two useless services PLUS they won't accept a trade in of the brand new wireless home phone unit base and 4G LTE wireless device after I was assured by phone several times that they would issue me a "gift card" for them. Bastards. =o(

Still quite happy so far. I have noticed that the battery seems to drain more quickly than with Gingerbread- not sure if that's due to my simply playing with it more.

Also, there was one weird thing that happened. The phone shut off and rebooted in the middle of a call! Now if there's one thing that any phone should be good at, smart or otherwise , it's making calls, It had never happened before, and hasn't happened again, so we'll let that slide for now.

As for general operation, yes the phone is really, really snappy. Apps seem to launch more quickly and there are no delays when scrolling through menus. The camera is a huge improvement- yes it's pretty much instant now, and the automatic panorama feature is really cool. I wonder how Google managed to pull off the quick camera thing, as phone cameras are notoriously slow to launch and use. Hell, it's the same camera, just a software change, so I'm curious.

Anyhow, all the best to you and yours for the Holidays. I personally celebrate Festivus, but haven't yet been defeated in the Feats of Strength, so I guess it's not yet over!

Because of the many vast improvements over my old phone, I'm still quite thrilled with it, but my problems are a bother. Connectivity is definitely spotty. Most times I have no 4G and when I do, most times a speed test will result in surprisingly low transfer rates (5-9mbps down), but occasionally I'll get 20mbps/19mbps (down/up).

Also for whatever reason, during some phone calls it's been giving me high-pitched electronic squealing/squeaking/cracking that's like needles in the ear drums. Problem is I have time to exchange it, but since they are so scarce, I probably won't be able to.

Awesome that you got ICS on your phone. Are you enjoying it? Is it pretty snappy? I'm more than happy with how incredible the OS is versus the old Androids. Since they say it's purely a software improvement, does ICS provide zero-delay photos for you now?

Sorry to hear about your troubles with the Galaxy Nexus. Has it got any better? Are you having the signal problems that others are reporting?

I'm still happy with the ICS update. My only mild disappointment is that Face Unlock isn't part of the package with my Nexus S, maybe later on they'll add it or maybe it's only for the Galaxy... who knows.

Come into the light my children ... all are welcome on iOS

Never! Neveeerrr! You're not my father, it can't be! It's impossible!

But, really, I'm just running something like the original iPhone, when most Androids are now 4Gs's, so it's to be expected when some things won't work on my phone.

Seeing as you can pick one of the phones I have up for under $100 pre-paid (LG Optimus One), they pack a lot of power for such a cheap device.

When my current contract expires I'll be able to update to something which I find stupidly powerful, and still without spending over $30 on my mobile bill

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

I am honestly really, really sad. I feel a bit silly because I've never been sad at a famous person's death before. I can't scoff at Michael Jackson mourners. I think I have to link to this again: http://blog.videosift.com/dag/Apple-Fanboy-Since-1983

You're not alone, I'm sure our fearless leader @dag is completely distraught.
But let's face it, what really finally killed him was yesterday's incredibly disappointing iPhone 4GS introduction.
