RDj is actually rather entertaining as Holmes, and Jude Law is really good as Watson.  Rachel McAdams.  Grrrrr.  It’s got good humour running through it, but hardly any stuff gets really blowed up.

Well, I’ve given it a week, but it’s going back.  Synchronisation between the handset and the various Google services that I use is truly awful, particularly with email.  I was pretty unimpressed with the way it arbitrarily remove contact information from my GoogleMail account, too.

A two-minute conversation later and a returns package is on its way.
