Sorry for the delay, Copacetic, just VERY busy IRL these days...
2.3 is pretty nice, the same cleaned up Tools menu from 2.2.4, running Lean Kernel and otherwise, I haven't really had time to find anything new. But it's nice to be on the bleeding edge
On a whole other note:
This should be positively SPECTACULAR - can't wait to watch it!
And spare me the comments about the drawing scene in 3D... my mind has already gone there

Halon brother, I think you will not regret wiping that phone and hopping up to 2.3
I backed up everything (apps, data, call log, messages) in TiBU and wiped away. I was up & running again inside 45 minutes... and that includes setting all my ringtones and stuff back up.
Cheif, seriously let me know if the 3D on that is worth it. We'll be getting a 3D enabled TV mostly likely pretty soon and I would like to know if 3D is worth it firstly, and what movies are worth buying in 3D secondly. Also just assuming my PS3 is 3D capable...I think they are.
BTW just grabbed these from eBay after reading an XDA thread - for $13 even if the quality is meh it'll still be cool to have. Didn't want to drop $50 on the Photojojo ones because not sure how much I would use them.

Geek, I am IN LOVE with my 3DTV. I have never owned a more versatile and gorgeous piece of gear ( other then Ginny my Nexus ).
The Samsung UN55D8000 is 1080p, 3D, and wirelessly connects to the Internet via my N-speed home wifi router. It has about a 1/3" bezel: so the picture just jumps out at you. It is their premiere TV and has a price tag to go with it... but I would advise you save your pennies up for Black Friday.
My deal:
I jumped on Amazon Thanksgiving night last year, to find that the price was $1939 including white-glove shipping (bring it in, unbox it, set it up and test it out, then haul the shipping materials away). Balancing the possibility of an even lower price the next day or whether it would sell out at that price, I went ahead and bought it with NO regrets. So for a little more than the price of a Walmart TV we got a top-of-the-line model.
The money I saved went to extra 3D glasses (the SSG-3500CRs are so lightweight you forget you're wearing them) and some 3D movies.
As far as 3D movies go, there are TWO that you absolutely, positively need to see in 3D: Hugo (out now and simply astounding) and Avatar (on pre-order for release next month).
Titanic will be watched by us VERY soon - likely this weekend -but is getting great reviews: Since it wasn't shot in 3D it's not popping-out, in-your-face type stuff, but rather it adds subtle depth and clarity. The movie was scanned in 4K and then color-corrected, THEN 3D processed... so it should look stunning.
I personally like Cave of Forgotten Dreams, a Werner Herzog documentary about the paintings in Chauvet Cave, France, which represent the oldest human art in the world at 35,000 years old! My only complaint to THAT movie is that it's about 30 minutes too long... but I understand that he really wanted to capture it well, considering the extraordinary security surrounding the cave (to protect the paintings from damage or even mold caused by human breath) and the likelihood that he would never get back in there again.
That's about it as far as must-see stuff I've found. We have Tron Legacy and Megamind in 3D... but really GOOD movies, in really GOOD 3D, are sparse but growing in number. I'll let you know how Titanic looks when we watch it.
Afternoon all, flashed 2.3 last night. So far all is great. The biggest pain to me about flashing is having to set up all the home screens again (TIBU takes case of everything else). That is until I discovered apex let's you back up your home screens...Woot! After flashing I was all set back up in about 20 minutes.
Chief, the only problem I'm running into with deal shopping and waiting till thanksgiving is I'm looking at two specific series of tvs. The Panasonic P50st50/gt50 or the Samsung PN51e6500/7000. All of those are becoming more scarce by the day
Perhaps I will too. Wife and I don't give eachother Xmas gifts out of a savings of money, but I suppose the rest of my family will probably want something.
