I carry three phones for my job (BB, Android, iPhone). I will be switching from BB to Android or iPhone as primary device. I spent the last two weeks carrying iPhone 4S as primary device. Over the xmas break I switched to Galaxy SII. Wow! I am nearsighted so the extra large Samsung screen combined with the availability of all the features that I actually use makes the Samsung a no brainer. I didn't want to like the Android device, but, I am impressed.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, great for vision challenged, easy data entry
I enjoy this device quite a bit for everything but the phone. Music sounds far better than I would expect and I haven't had issues with a single app. It seems there are two or three ways to access anything you need to and if you like to customize your device, you'll love playing with this phone.
Where I'm finding the device falling flat is as a phone. I'll jump from 3 bars to "no service" them moment I try to make a call. Quite often the phone will force close while trying to make a call. I'll have no processes open and the ram is cleared, but still no calls. What is worse is when I get a force close message but the call goes through anyway. I cannot access any controls except for the "force close button".
