So i went for the Xperia S, i know it doesn't have ics yet, but is imminent, went with o2, so if i don't like it i can just call them up and swap it within 14 days.

Galaxy nexus or note are still tempted me though

Good shout it will get ICS soon, the screen is wonderful on this phone

For any Razr/Maxx owners out there, several sites are reporting that ICS is coming next week. I just got my soak test email so it appears that this rumor is indeed true.

Going on the app, it reminds me a lot of the old days of the console wars - all the iPhone guys are whining that it is no longer exclusive. Some even crying that they're not gonna use it now that there are non-iPhone users on it.

Ridiculous.

Goes to show the type of people (not all, just most so don't get offended by this) that use iphones.

yeah, the amount of people that get offended is an extremely small demographic of iphone users. Most I would wager to guess aren't that anal.

Good to hear cos that would suck - because that would be millions of whiny bitches if true.

And I would have to quit the internet if they suddenly decided to be all like that.

I spoke to a sony guy and he said ICS would come to Xperia in a couple months, apparently they are still testing it.

Did you not like the phone? Sorry about that =/ I really like it, but that's prob mainly due to being with a really poor blackberry for 2 years

What exactly is ICS? Just a new interface?

I can never bring myself to abandon the Nexus line of phones.. now with Google buying Motorola the next one should be something really special.

Can people post their favorite apps and apps they use almost everyday? (Doesn't matter if free or paid.. I buy from marketplace )

- I quite love using PocketManga (not on marketplace you have to get it from their website) http://mango.leetsoft.net/install.php
- ES File Explorer (the best file manager)
- Moboplayer (best video player.. plays everything you should do software decoding)
- Any.Do (the best for reminders!!) Especially the widget useful.
- Pulse (The best for news.. get articles from various news sources so you can read offline on commute or in line)
- Tweetdeck
- BBC News
- Halo Waypoint
- Steam
- Tapatalk
- Aldiko (awesome for reading!)
- Instagram
- and I recently bought Draw Something and it's pretty fun with friends.

Head over to XDA for ICS on the SGS2.

Running AOKP on it now. Runs awesome - so much customisation!

Looks very sleek too.

ACV is the best comic reader I find.. how did I forget to mention it? Simple, efficient, and brilliant So you might want to use that. And Aldiko best for ebooks for me.

A lot of cool apps that people have mentioned that I never knew about.. awesome stuff.

Will have to check these out.

Mi-fi is awesome. Though it takes a bit for it to refresh the 'space-free' strings.

I used to use Aldiko, but I've so many books that it always irked me when my cover art takes a second to load when scrolling and then it unloads the art when you scroll away from those books and needs to reload again when you scroll back to them. Aside from that, I loved Aldiko. Been awhile since I've used it tho. They may have worked out that issue by now. I'll have a look when I get a chance.

AVC? That Droid Comic Viewer now right? If so, I do like it, but I actually like Simple Comic better personally. I like seeing the cover art or seeing the page I left off on as cover art for the comics when I scroll through them all instead of just a list of file names. =P Too bad it only shows a default "no image" cover for comics if you havn't atleast opened the once.

Isn't it? I used to LOVE Root Explorer and now I feel like I wasnted money on it since I never touch it anymore. lol

I've tried multiple MIUI roms and I want so much to love it, but the iOS look just never appealed to me and MIUI with an alternate launcher ruins the Roms beautiful UI skinning. I was exstatic when the file explorer was ported over to non MIUI Roms. I like the MIUI Lockscreen too, but the skins tend to be a little finiky at times on non MIUI Roms for some reason.

I got the newest Google music app. It rocks. I love the ICS UI.

The best part is you FINALLY get controls on your lock screen.. so I was able to ditch Doubletwist.
