Comment Re:Goodbye iPhone, Hello Nexus (Score 1) 396

I have "a few nits" with my Nexus S running ICS such as sending pix via MMS, sluggish Contacts app and inconsistent BlueTooth, but overall, I'm happy with it. I get the same battery life under ICS as I did with GB and I tracked it pretty religiously as I was testing the impact of Locale on my phone. I've had at least two random reboots which happened when I was not using the phone. At this rate, I'll never get the 136 days of uptime I got on GB 4.0.6, I imagine I could've gone longer but ICS was released for my phone.

Sidebar: The idea behind Locale is great and it is a well laid out program, but I never worked as promised on my stock Nexus S, particularly the Airplane-mode add-on. The latest release is awful, using more than twice the resident RAM and much more battery life. I caved and uninstalled it.

Google needs to hurry the hell up and come out with fix for the various reported issues; its been over two months now! They're already talking about Jellybean for Christ sakes. If they don't fix these issues soon, my next phone will be an iPhone 5 as much as the thought sickens me. I don't mine having a few issues as long as they are addressed in a timely fashion, it's not as if Apple doesn't have issues with some of their iOS releases too.

I too have Ooma but their new Telo device is prone to failure. I'm working on my third box in the seven months I'm been with them. The first device was DOA, the second one died this past Sunday and I'm still haggling with customer support to get a replacement. I was lured in with the very, very low monthly cost but if I have to waste time and effort getting a replacement box it just isn't worth it.

I was on Vonage for six years prior to switching to Ooma and never had any equipment failure. I may just port my number to Google Voice and go back to Vonage.
