anyways...finally made the jump onto Android (after years of waiting) lol
Got a Samsung Galaxy SII for $430 on Kijiji (BNIB+unlocked). Sweetass phone and OS, but it still needs some work.

androidlost
antivirus
CamScanner
cp24 traffic
data counter widget
data/wifi enabler
Flashlight
Google Sky
HDR Cam
HeyTell
LCBO Finder
Data Manager (great for tracking which apps eat up the most data)
PowerAMP (cue sheet support ftmfw)
Shazam
Soundcloud
WhatsApp
Yelp

Galaxy SII is as good or better. |

| Its a toss up between the Galaxy Nexus, or Galaxy S2. The screen is higher resolution on the Nexus, but almost everything else on the S2 is better. |

imo:
1. Galaxy Nexus - doesn't win in all the hardware categories but the direct Google support perks are huge
2. Galaxy Note - beast of a phone as long as you like the big screen
3. Motorola Droid Razr - If you're cool with springing for an LTE data plan it's pretty sweet, slim too
4. HTC Rezound - Good all around phone, not the biggest HTC fan but it's decent
5. Galaxy SII - Great phone, but in the Android world you're bumped from the #1 spot within months
I'd probly put the Galaxy SII HD LTE at #2 when out in North America... |

Another reason to love Android and the smaller ISP's. Acanac gives you a free voip account with every internet connection.
I just put the settings into my Nexus S (running android 4.0.3) and I was able to make calls no problem. Hello free unlimited long distance in North America. |

I've got ICS running on my Adam (tablet) and my Nexus S now.
What a sweet OS. So fast and smooth. Even though I am using 'alpha' builds, its still very very sweet. |
