Any major gripes with the phone so far? I'm reading alot of reviews and they all seem to be generally positive praises.

Some annoying issues/bugs (but not critical):

1. Custom ringtone and notification tones will be reset to default tones after you restart the phone (of after you connect to computer USB) ... this is Android 2.3 bug.

2. The screen flickers if you set the brightness to abt 60% or lower (especially if the screen is displaying lots of white, e.g Facebook app)

3. The notification LED is at the side instead of on top. Most of the time, I can't see or notice the light biggrin.gif


PS: Anyone tested the MMS ... does it work?

The ringtone bug (happens to Arc and Nexus S too) and the screen flicker has been confirmed by many users in XDA forum (and in my set too)... seems you have a very good set.

Anyway, I hope it will be fixed by future updates smile.gif

1) me too, no such problem for my set

2) didnt notice even though usually i set my phone brightness lower than 50%.... but bcos of the auto brightness, the phone adjusts quite frequently

3) i agree with this. I kinda prefer front LED notofication

>> but bcos of the auto brightness, the phone adjusts quite frequently
Yes, i think is what causing the flicker... the autobrighess adjust too frequently even when i'm not moving ... seems like it can't decide which brightness to use biggrin.gif


>> i agree with this. I kinda prefer front LED notofication
It took me 2 days to realize there is a LED on the side biggrin.gif

Btw, the ringtone problem happens when you assign custom mp3 ringtones that are stored in the SD card. When the card dismount and mounted again, the set will random change to "built-in" default tones. Strange it is not happening to some of you, as it is Android 2.3 bug (already confirmed in Nexus S and Arc). If it is software bug then it should affect all users? Hmm...
