    But speaking of issues, I somehow managed to botch up the stock keyboard, long pressing on the full stop key would pop up extra characters like comma etc. Well all of a sudden the popup screen wasn't appearing but the keyboard would dim, letting go of the long press would select the comma (the first option on the pop up) - needed a reboot to fix it.

    I have the same issue, i downloaded a different keyboard and when the stock plays up I swtch eyboard and then back to stock, effectively forcing it to reload and works a treat again. quicker than rebooting the whole damn phone!!:(

    Anyone notice any drop in wifi reception since the update? I'm convinced mine has got worse, only get full bars sitting right beside the router, outside of that room and it drops to a single bar and is slow as hell to load anything now. :(

    Noticed this myself. The reception in my bedroom was never great but now the signal just seems to drop off too easily and it's not as consistent as it had been.

    I dont know if its the same issue as what you're having but I'm finding that nearly everytime I unlock the screen its on 3G then after a second or two its jumping to wifi. I've never actually noticed that before though so I think its only since I got gingerbread.

    I've found it to be more stable. In the week or two leading up to Gingerbread, LauncherPro was crashing quite a lot but it's been fine since the update. Only stability issue I've encountered is that it can be quite sluggish when using the screen previews to switch from one homescreen to another.

    with gingerbread i'm definitely getting a delay between when I answer a call and when the other party can hear me.

    I now have to wait a second or two before saying hello!

    I've noticed that too about the delay. Bugs the hell out of me as I end up saying hello a few times.

    yeah i get that too - incredibly annoying, until i twigged it. Now just an inconvenience but shouldn't happen really.

    Coupled with the odd behaviour of the 'ghost' keyboard occasionally one wonders what they were 'fixing' that it took so long to bring it to nexus one after nexus s got it!

    Got Gingerbread, agree with most, like the new green/dark theme, it's a bit slicker all round. Browser general UI seems a bit snappier too.

    Although a bit disappointed as battery life seems to be a bit shorter. Use to get till around 23:00 before red battery on normal day, but it seems to be going around 20:00 since Gingerbread update, anyone noticed something similar? Perhaps it's just me playing about with the phone more since the update? :rolleyes:

    Power button was also going iffy for a while any properly died last week, was worried as my N1 went out of warranty in January, but the nice people in HTC UK offered to fix it for free. :) So it's off with them at the moment getting fixed, can't wait to get it back. Luckily wife has an N1 so I have comendeered it till I get mine back :D

    Like the look of the Galaxy S II, but would rather wait for the Nexus 3 which I guess will be coming at the end of the year. Like stock vanilla Android too much, and fast OS updades. I guess we'll be on to "Jelly" or "Jammy Dodger" by then...

    HTC fixed the N1 power button, but kindly flashed on an un-updatable eclair 2.1 developer firmware version of android. :mad:

    Needless to say they have collected the N1 at their cost to reflash on Gingerbread 2.3.3...

    Getting sick of Nokia brick stand-in :rolleyes:

    Just wondering who did you get in touch with re fixing your N1's power button?
    mine just died two days ago and am very annoyed, phone is not in Warrenty anymore but surely as this is an inherant problem with the N1 htc should fix it for free? could you let me know how you went about getting it repaired as when i rang htc support they said id have to pay for the repairs myself..

    also since the Gingerbread update my music folders have been screwed up in the Stock player some of my albums have been broken up with separate tracks in an album now showing up as individual albums.. not good..

    Thanks

    I had to do a hard reset on my N1 the other night and i've noticed this too. Judging by the data usage on 3G Watchdog it's reverting to 3G when locked and only switches back to WiFi when opened!!

    Same thing happened to a few of my albums in cubed³ music player. I deleted a couple of them, made sure all the track details were in order on my laptop and then reloaded them. That seemed to fix it for those particular albums.

    I just phoned HTC Europe in the UK and they offered to fix it for free, I just had to send it to them at my cost. They generated a repair spec sheet to send with the phone.

    Probably best to phone again and have a rant! (Oh and make sure they keep you on 2.3.3!)
