    Or do I?

    Small annoying thing I know, but aren't they always.
    FYI on the HTC at the bottom you still have the People/Groups/Call/Phone buttons

    You can however just "dial" their name so for the entry in my contacts ALEXANDER I dial 253

    Hah! Chrome seems to be hanging together well now so stop waving your iPhone with its annoyingly well thought out and fully tested OS at me.

    Opera Mini is the one for slow connections and/or less powerful phones that routes everything through Opera's servers to "pre-render" and compress things. Which seems to work better than it sounds. And Opera Mobile is just the normal browser.

    I think it's that way round.

    Just taken out the battery and Chrome and Opera seem okay for now. Dolphin still does the same so that's just been uninstalled. Haven't tried the default browser yet but I bet it will not work. I think that when the default browser goes down, then it effects the rest. I don't think it's a specific app problem, it is something to do with the operating system itself. I shall have to back the thing up and see if a factory reset will help.
    No problems here, I have ICS 4.0.4 and use Opera Mobile primarily (there are 2 different Opera browsers in the market, don't know the difference,) Firefox, the default and Chrome. I believe chrome is still beta, least ways my one says it is. With this version on my Nexus S I have hardly any problems although I have upgrade my battery to a 3800mh one which makes it twice as thick!

If so I'd suggest backing up all your data and re-loading ICS onto the device in case it didn't take properly. If that fails there might be a hardware issue so you'd be looking at a warranty repair/replacement.

    I think the built-in browser is just a basic WebKit implementation, Chrome has quite a lot of features not present in the standard one - see Wikipedia for a list here.

    I would guess once all devices are capable of running ICS they may well retire the standard browser in favour of Chrome, but it's probably there to cater for the lower-spec end of the market as I'll bet Chrome is optimized for more powerful hardware.

    I used to have the WiFi problem with my original Sanfrancisco, but there was an app that fixed it. Never had it with my Nexus S.

    Downloading over the client's WFI now but I have a horrible feeling that as I get the problem in three separate browsers that I may get the same with Chrome.

    Apparently a factory reset is required but I can't be arsed yet to battle with Kies to get it to backup the phone.
    Only problem I've had so far is one time it wouldn't display any pages, just a black rectangle where the page was supposed to be (could still see the new tab button etc.) but a reboot of the phone fixed that and touch wood it's not happened since then...

    I don't get that problem but I wish it would choose the better connection when there is more than one available.
