Yes, gorilla screen. Not godzilla.

Lag, occasional.

Not as often as Symbian phone lag.

Nexus S is not new version. SGS 2 is SGS's successor.

WCDMA data drinks power like short circuiting the battery. I change to EDGE when I don't need to tether/download. EDGE is good enough for casual browsing and widget updating.

Anyone using Brut Google Maps? Any undesired consequences?

I have unlimited data plan. Not an issue even if it needs 1GB of traffic.

Can I not replace the original Google Map? Is Brut GM uninstallable in case it causes undesirable activity?

In what situation would the phone be confused of which to open? I have already installed the renamed and tagged version (side by side installation) before I saw your post.

I couldn't get Navigation to work on Brut Maps. It shows getting direction but a voice would say "data connection lost" although it was never lost.

By selecting Starred places, the navigation works. I am not driving now but there seems no voice guide. I can get force close easily if I attempt to do anything funny in the navigation.

Live Mail push: http://mengsuan.blogspot.com/2011/02/andro...-push-mail.html

Facebook app uses push for chats. Not notifications.

POP: polls on regular basis from your phone
IMAP: today's standard of email. Gmail uses this on your computer's Outlook but not the push mail on your phone.
Exchange: Microsoft Exchange platform. Email, contacts and calendar through an exchange account. Push capable.

I am patiently waiting for Asia's 2.2.1

Turn itself off - Once in a blue moon. Only occured once in entire time I had the phone. Not normal if it occurred often.
Display has high % usage - Normal if you did use the phone. Up to 99% is also normal, in fact it's a good thing that not other components which drains the battery.
Drop 15% in 1 hr of browsing - Normal if you use 3G/HSDPA, in fact better than my phone. Heavy HSDPA traffic will consume 1% every minute. Tested with my friend's SGS as well.
Warm - Normal if you used for browsing/games/video. My highest battery temperature was 55C by just tethering HSDPA to my computer.

I didn't feel that these attributes was abnormal because my previous HTC PDA was hotter and has shorter battery life.

Recommended action: Install stock ROM with no other apps to confirm that no apps are causing abnormal experience for you.

DXJPE

DXJPE is newer. No visible difference.

Locked bootloaders only exist for Galaxy Tab, no? I haven't seen any SGS firmware with locked bootloader.

Bootloader still intact whenever you still see something. When bootloader is screwed, there won't be anything on screen.

I've tried. Nothing special. Just works. Lol

You don't have to reflash entire ROM to restore kernel. Just extract the kernel image and flash via Odin. No data will be lost.
