I will not talk about the benchmark.
Iam using samsung galaxy note. All the things that have been changed in S2 are already integrated in note by default. same lockscreen. same notification. same homescreen. only two things differ: sns in phone book and new task killer.
so nothing great till now for note users. we expext more from samsung.

When i updated my SGS2 on Gingerbread 2.3.5, had a big problem with a bluetooth. When i swich it on, my phone would keep restarting it self and i had a big problems to stop it. But then i did a hardware reset and it work fine. You can try this it can just make it better, not worse. Btw HdwReset is in settings

HI all,
I'm already try the ICS 4.0.3(custom, from XDA) that actually very similar function.
Performance / pros:
I feel no any sign different in term performance since i already use Custom ROM (2.3.6) that already optimize by expert in XDA.
What i like:
1. Built-in Data counter; I'm really like this function. It let you know how much data usage for every application.
2.Face unlock; actually i like this because make you look COOL, :) while others phone cannot do this yet. But i prefer not to use this function for long time because feel not so comfort and less security that someone face similar can unlock this.
3.Create the folder; -just drag the icon to others icon & folder is created. Is't very easy.
What i dislike:
1. Phone book & dialer - Cannot slide for make call or message. The frequent call person cannot be DELETED!.
2. Screen switch - screen cannot be continues shift after reach the end screen.
3. Found many setting are missing in ICS such as Network Mode.
So.. you will never get the perfect one.. hahaha

Samsung missed to point when they implemented Running apps instead of Recent apps.
But inverted color for browsing is good!

I want less SNS integration, or an option to have all SNS deleted without interfering with the os. It is just a waste of time and a fat memory hog. Get rig of it.

Flash works smoothly on ICS, u just need to update it after installing ICS. My default browser is Dolphin, and the latest version offers smooth support for ICS. Fullscreen video playback for flash videos is awesome, and about your complaint regarding screen automatically turns off during playback, just change Dolphin's settings for it and it's fixed.
