    Too many cool phones out there that I love BB Bold, Galaxy II s and I'm assuming the iPhone 5 will be good too in the new year
    You're gonna abandon Crackberry?

    Hard to say... typing on the new Bold is a dream, and that's what I use my phone most for. Emails and texts.

    Then again, I really want a phone that's fun too, good for Youtube, and has some great aps. Crackberry don't offer that

    I have yet to read a head-to-head review where the iPhone 4/4S beats the Galaxy except from Apple fanboy sites. As GF mentioned, all you have to do is look at the specs between the 2 phones.

    Now will Apple catch up when the 5 comes out sometime next year? No doubt, but Samsung will keep getting better as well.

    I told my boss just a few minutes ago that I ordered the Galaxy S II (he has an iPhone 4S) and he immediately looked up the reviews on both phones and now he's jealous

    Do any of the Droid devices have a Siri-type program that you can set up to be a single button push away (ie. I've heard a program like Apple's Siri has existed for some time now on droid, but do you have to go in and find, open and wait or the app ever time?)

    Call me a sheep but I think it's cool. Pressing a button and asking your phone to schedule an appointment, find something, look up things.... that's awesome

    Damn right Im a fan of Swype! With every update it has gotten better and better. It is so fast and easy and really made for touchscreens. Tapping letter by letter just doesn't work for me anymore...Plus it is pretty natural since you swipe around the screen anyway to operate the phone. And yes, you definitely are doing a good thing by upgrading. We have had the SGSII for over 6months here and a couple of friends got them right when they were hot off the press. They have not complained once, quite the opposite. Been amazed by them. One of them eves was a total Android noob and he isn't a computer geek either, but he learned the tips and tricks fast and is now a very happy Android user.

    Android has .Iris. Plus, if you want to do stuff with voice, like look up things, dictate messages and mails etc, Google has had it in its arsenal since the start. So once again something the Apple tries to make look like they are the inventors. Siri they invented first I think, but it took less than a day for .Iris to appear in android market. Last I checked, it was still alpha stage, but the functions are the same as in Siri. Not to mention the various iterations popping up in the android market.
