Operation 'Dinner Out' is compromised

....cough...leave me... gasp... save yourself...

That's 10,000 decimal places. Thought about adding another zero but not sure Dag would think it's as funny as you or I would.

Bravo blankman, bravo. *tips cap* lol

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.

Welcome back, weirdo.

Canucks want to win in 7 at home. That's what's happening.

Yeah, that's it.

8-1... ouch

Sigh. Say it ain't so.

Yup, that's putting it mildly.

And me, I was giving serious consideration about jumping onto that bandwagon.

Anyhow, doesn't change much. The Cup belongs to the Canucks, they just have to make it formal-like.

I feel the same way, but I'm still going to bust your balls a little bit with every Vancouver win.

Hehe, to be honest, I look at professional sports the way Mitchell does in the football sketch (http://videosift.com/video/That-Mitchell-and-Webb-Look-Football). I just find it so silly that, all of a sudden, so many Canadians are Vancouver fans. If people want the "Canadian" team to win they should be cheering for Boston.

Happy Canada Day everyone! promote

Canada day isn't for another month (July 1st) - But way to jump on it early.
Cheers!

What both of you don't seem to understand is that every day is Canada Day in Canadaland!
edit: Go Canucks!

Thanks Hybrid.
