How long does it last? I've learned to turn off GPS and wifi off to save battery on my Droid X. It's been lasting from 9am - 9pm with a moderate use... I'm hoping to find the same results with the new phone.

I have to say GN didn't meet my expectation. How do you guys feel about GN now?

Yep, just loaded it up today...its great...and it installs as an apk so you can uninstall it easily. Definitely going to be my launcher of choice from here on out.
My mind is still blown.
This phone is so much better than my Inc in terms of everything. The only gripe I have about it is it's quite large and still a bit awkward to hold sometimes. I have fairly large hands, but even for me sometimes trying to tap the left side of the screen can get uncomfortable. And no NFL app
Other than that; absolutely beautiful screen, feels solid, fast (hardware and 4g), smooth, and the list goes on. I do not regret for 1 second getting this phone, well worth the wait.

I totally agree... when I had the Motorola e815 dumbphone it was great just to have a camera but that was 6 years ago... Smartphones are supposed to be able to replace other devices(obviously to a certain extent).. next time someone complains about their phone "lagging" maybe we should respond and say "hey it's a phone..if you want a lag free experience get an 2nd Gen i7, with a SSD.." see but that's the whole point of a smartphone is to be able to be a computer, camera, personal assitant, etc... Does it compare to my computer for processing power, storage, etc.. no, Does it compare to my DSLR for super sharp, properly exposed, pictures.. No. But I don't think my wife would be cool with me bringing my laptop and DSLR out to dinner.. so I get a smartphone, but when "older" devices have noticeably better performance beit smoothness, or camera quality and one of the main features they touted falls short it's disappointing.. that's the point
Yeah, it is a beast. I wish they either moved the volume rocker up or down a little bit more, I keep hitting the volume buttons when turn on/off the screen. But now I'm just nitpicking.
Volume placement is perfect for me. I can hold the phone comfortably with my 3 fingers resting below the rocker and one above it for easy access. If we're getting down to nitpicking, I wish this phone would let us choose vibrate pattern. Unless I haven't figured that out yet....Yeah, it is a beast.

Only temp root has been achieved. as far as I know S-Off is not available as of now. Although, I am currently out at sea and only check DF every few days....

To be fair its just a launcher, not a full fledged rom
That's true. It's just under the rom tag at xda or at least it was, not sure about now. Regardless, it's a nice launcher that removes that static search bar and gives me more screen real estate.

definitely, i'm using it too. as soon as i installed it i realized there's no way id be able to stay stock for too long...i initially thought i wouldnt want to flash custom ROMs but I'm certain I will now
