Not long till I get my update :D

Gutted! No ICS update for my Galaxy S. Oh well I'm sure there'll be a build of Cyanogen Mod for it.

How long ago did Galaxy S come out? Google really need to clamp down on this, refuse the Android marketplace et al if they don't commit to supporting software updates for 2 to 3 years.

I had ICS last night.

Not sure what the fuss is about. At start it was ok...but once the ice cream melted, my bread just got soggy :|

Exactly. You get a phone on day 1 on a two-year contract and updates are stopped before the contract is over? Should be 24 to 36 months.

Initial thoughts

Bad..camera...takes terrible pictures in lw light...ok in sunlight/natural light

Not sure if it is a software or hardware issue..but it is bad.

On the Plus, front facing camera is good..very handy (just not in low light)

Good points..nice screen, colours vibrant. I moved from nexus one to this..size of phone felt huge, almost put me off. But extra screen size is nice, and holding it felt good (but not in a kinky way :) )
It is very responsive. Using it will take time to fully understand..I'm still playing with it.

Anybody here with a honeycomb tablet having difficulties with android market? Im stuck with the spinning waiting circle if I use my home broadband but can get on fine if I tether through my phone via wifi.
I know I'm not the only one effected by this and it seems to be mainly vm customers who are effected but most people I know have modded tablets like mine so was wondering if it is just us modded users or wether its also effecting stock users too?

Working fine for me on my Transformer. I have had issues with my Android devices connecting directly to the Super Hub though, so I turned on internet sharing on my Macbook and I connect them to that and it works fine.

For anyone after a basic 7" WiFi tablet that won't break the bank, Maplin has this one for only 130 quid. The build quality is great for the money, it's easily routable and very easy to install the Google apps and Android Market on.

Amazon have an Archos with pretty much the exact same specs for £108: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B005GC85B8/
