How many would go back to gingerbread??

Not in a million years. My phone is much faster, battery better and the functionality is unreal. The home screen folders is a real game changer. Nothing I had previously does not work with this OS.

This isn't particularly a GB/ICS thing, but one thing that's keeping me with TouchWiz - and therefore not getting the full ICS experience - is being able to add Shortcuts (like directions to a particular place from Maps) to the home screen.

I would "not" go back to GB. I am going to do the factory reset because of battery life and unable to pair bluetooth with my 2012 Camry XLE (phone paired in GB after a factory reset).
There are a couple of issues that not fond of so would like to find resolution/workaround:

• To be able to "list" favorites - don't like the big "fuzzy" pics
• Swype keyboard does not have the numbers in the middle of the keyboard (only at the top). I loved the other keyboard in GB for that purpose. If anyone knows of a keyboard in the Play Store that is like the GB let me know.

But definitely have an improved phone

By the way, I didn't wait and I did the manual update following QBKING77 - easy easy easy - just follow the video.

I personally don't like it. As for going back to GB, naw...that would be just crazy. So I decided to upgrade to the GSIII. I haven't yet but fixin to leave for RS.

They have 50 bucks off any smartphone over 99 bucks and they'll give me 97 bucks for the GSII effectively making the new GSIII 50 bucks. Can't beat it.

97 bucks for a Sprint GS2?

You could have easily got 200+ on ebay.

That's a great deal. Wish I could go for that but I got the S2 on a 2 year contract extension with Sprint in February

Factory reset will fix all battery issues.

It didn't fix my battery issues. Down to 73% after 3 hours of little activity and usually would still be around 90% with the same amount of activity on Gingerbread.

Those having battery issues, do you have wifi on? If so, try turning it off and see if things improve. If it improves, try setting wifi to sleep when your phone sleeps.
