erm. It's always been like that for me. Takes about 10 secs to respond, so i guess it's connecting while on wi-fi the response is immediate.

hmm.. In my old WM smartphone and other feature phones, there used to be a setting which said connect only when needed,i.e., it will connect to edge only when an app requests net access. I guess you might have a similar setting in iPhone or maybe it has this behavior by default (looks doubtful).

Yeah, exactly. It is need only, not always on. I never used to keep it always on in my Nokia phones too. Though 3G doesn't have that "gap" even if it's not always on.

Moto/samsung/Sony are the worst offenders in not upgrading their phones. I would never buy their phones. Even Defy is coming with 2.1 in this age when 2.3 is out. They are more than 1 year old in their OS version.

So I've updated to 2.3.2 by flashing Modaco's r10 release. A teensy bit snappier than stock I must say.

 

Then sat through the night trying to theme it until finally settling on the Tangerine theme from the XDA forums. Of course I had to painstakingly choose all those icons myself one by one. So much work.

 

 

And here are my current homescreens. Still using ADW Ex.

There're also 4 invisible SiMi folder widgets hidden in that last screenshot btw.

 

A bit sad that I had to move away from my old Tron theme though.

Quick question ; in the Tangerine theme, the signal icons always stay orange? Do they change color depending on whether they have connection to Google Servers or no? (Like Stock changes from white to green)

 

 

Nope as far as I've noticed they seem to stay orange.

 

 

Also wifi performance seems to have improved, as in better signal in places far from the router where I didn't quite have a stable connect before, after flashing this ROM. Though I don't know if this is some side effect of the router being tilted a little while the cleaning lady was dusting the place.
