What makes it more badass than the iPhone?
Welcome to the bright side! Ive had 3 android phones now and love all of them. I currently carry the galaxy nexus and its fantastic.
So far I love how much lighter and thinner it is, and to me the Dual Core is much faster than the I4 I had, and it being on the 4 G Network, everything loads super fast, and most of all, I can put Apps I WANT, not what Apple dictates.Originally Posted by MeFryRice

It's good to have another one on the dark side I myself am rocking a GSII Android is the best most powerful OS ever created for a mobile device. You have full ability to personalize the handset and OS how you see fit, and Samsung hardware is far ahead of the curve compared to Iphone just wait till the Galaxy S III comes out quad core with 2gb ram fucking sick
i dont have a smart phone...
The screen on this thing is amazing!! Looks so rich and vivid. Love the screen. Yeah I got sick of Apple telling me how I could personalize it (Oh wait, you cant...lol) and what I can or cant download to it, I mean I buy it, I should be able to install what the hell I want to. I love now I will have the NASCAR App, Sprint TV, and Sprint Live NFL, none of that Apple would allow on their phone soooo......

iPhones are for kids that look like this:
So congrats.
I'm a big Apple fan but wanted to try out the Android software so I bought the Infuse; the GSII wasn't available in the states and was $700 if I were to buy from a vendor in Europe. I can't say I was impressed with the OLED screen clarity. The fact that you can mod it the way you want is cool. The Market didn't offer a lot of applications I used; Capital One, Delta Credit Union, etc. I still wouldn't mind trying out the GSII though.
If u need a banking app search for mint it let's u track all your accounts from one place.
Android it a better platform because it's personal you get to make your phone into something you like not the same shit everybody else has. I have a Samsung admire that's been rooted and cleaned up and i can outperform an iphone on a good day with a phone that only costs $60 without a contract on metro. For all you new comers to Android look into rooting your device it really unlocks its full potential.

I used to have the app Mint but quit using it. Why? I don't know.
My iPhone 4S is currently jailbroken and modded to my liking. I would agree that not having the same UI appearance as the person standing next to you is nice.
I'm currently using a Thunderbolt 4G and absolutely love the speed but once the iPhone 5 with 4G hits Verizon I am switching. Why? I jailbroke my wifes new iPhone 4S and it allows me to use PDAnet as a hotspot and not have it tethered. I have yet to find a way to so it with any Android device I have owned and I am on device #6.
Yeah ihated that when I had an iphone ages ago. It's the simple things about Android that I like. Like the ability to put widgets I.. My screen so I don't have to go into every app one at a time to see my weather, account balance, and daily agenda all on 1 screen. But it's a huge thing of personal preference and what you comfortable with I have friends who went back to there iphones because it was what felt natural and there's a small learning curl difference when it come to using androids at full power.

Cool I personally find siri a bit creepy and skynet-ish lol and that's because PDAnet on Android refuses to update that aspect be ause it is possible I've seen Samsung Galaxy s2's do it. And are u rooted n Running a custom rom?

I switched from an iphone 3 to the Motorola ATRIX about a year back. I loved the customization, the nav and not having to download some piece of shit program to my computer just to update the phone.
Actually just bought my fiance an ATRIX 2 for vday to replace her 3gs.
I'm never looking back.
Does anyone know if Ice Cream Sandwich will be released to update for the GS2?

Does require root.. but i use wifi-tether. http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
The last time I rooted my phone, it became a useless paper weight. Will never do it again. I'll deal with tethering before I root my phone.
ICS official OTA update is rolling out for the GSII in march
SUHWEET!! Thanks!!
BTW, I bought the white one, and since its Dual Core does this mean I have WHITE POWER?? LOL

im planning on doing the same soon you liking it
Paul "your bullshit makes the flowers grow"
Android pwns everything,
It's so damn expandable.
I'm trying to put together an app to interface with megasquirt + possible arduino hack
I want it so you can wirelessly datalog and view your logs in real time, etc... Would be sick to have something like this running on a dash mounted android tablet.
Maybe a phase 2 implementation adds full tuning support...
Imagine something like that! Control your in car entertainment and your fuel/ignition tables for your ECU, or just swap maps on the fly (Megasquirt can do boost control as well)
I think the future is going to be sick for tuners- things are getting cheaper and more and more DIYish
Already have it, app called Torque
Wife the got herself an iPhone 4S because of a bad experience with an Android. The more time I spend playing with hers, the more I like my droid X.
I have a DROID x and I fucking love it! I just can't get into any apple technology. When I upgrade next moth i'll definitely be getting another android.
twenty-two
That would be sweet.
I'd prefer it in a flip out screen though so I can slam it shut when it tells me danger to the manifold and my rivets fall out causing my floor pan to take a crap.
That means u bricked it lol n it happens sometimes just means u did it wrong.

Android is great for gadget fanatics who like to pretend they have a lab for experiment.. I don't have time and don't really care ..lol
For regular users, iPhone is perfect. From previous experiences with the Android devices...I'll stick with Apple. iPhone is more user friendly. Once jailbroken, even better.
Even jailbreaking an iPhone is easier then rooting an Android.
Owned both, Android Tablet and Phone... For the things I do.. My iPhone and IPad owned both.
In reality, both are great softwares, however for me, IPhone/IPad run this show.
Be careful... AT&T caught me 3 times.. Using Pdanet and Mywi...lol
Every android phone has a different rooting process. Ive rooted tons of phones.. evo 4g, evo 3d, galaxy s ii, galaxy nexus, evo shift.. never had one fail. just follow the steps for your software version and youll be ok!
I moved from a Droid X to the Thunderbolt and haven't looked back. I've had numerous issues with several Motorola devices and not one issue with this HTC.
Everything was done right and it still bricked.
Verizon 4G unlimited data FTW!!!
Paul so far I love it, Battery life is not as great as my Iphone, But thats the only issue so far. Other from that its a great phone. I have an IPAD 2 so I still will have my Apple gadget

I'm biased as I despise Apple and refuse to let any of their products into my house, but I got my wife The Galaxy SII Skyrocket after she played around with my Atrix for a while. She loves it too. Her brother who currently has an Iphone 4 played around with her Skyrocket and can't wait for his upgrade to switch to Android.
Yeah seems the Galaxy S2 has had alot of people switch from Apple to this phone, I read reviews and out of 700 reviews on one site I looked at, It had a 4 3/4 Star rating out of 5 and many posted they left Apple for this phone. Seems like the one serious contender for Apple. I got mine in white, Watching the NASCAR practice session now while at work on it, LOVE IT!! LOL

I got one, not a big fan...
Anyone have good success with rooting and putting on a modded ICS release on there since the official one is not out yet. I've heard a lot of mixed things on this, but I kinda want to wait for the bloated "official" release to get a stripped version. Supposedly the firmwares for the S2 vary a LOT from carrier to carrier
Then u got some kinda bad luck lol i have yet to brick a device n. Hope I never do.

Yeah I'd recommend u not do it till the official release gets unbloated ICS is very temperamental with diff carriers they like to tweak things so people don't mess wit it. The cyanogen mod guys haven't really made a stable version yet either

I have the HTC Inspire and I love it. Just how it works is so much better to me than the iPhone. I see the popularity of iPhones dropping in the next few years.
I cant see that, The Iphone 5 will ignite a huge sale boost, People will flock to that like a fat kid at a buffet
