Q. I currently have the iPhone 3s, and I'm ready to upgrade. I love how smooth the iPhone OS is, but I feel like the Sammy might have more options for customization and utility.
A. Since I'm in the same boat and actually just got the Galaxy S2 yesterday. I will tell you my experience.
The pros: The phone is amazing! It's got everything you would want. It takes a little bit of getting used to though, but it didn't take me too long.
The cons: If you've used Itunes for music before, you're in for a big hassel of getting all your music on to the new phone, trust me, I've stayed up until just now trying to find the best program to do it all. I thought I found it in isyncr, but there has been conflicts to connect the phone to my PC. Anyway, long story short, the program Kies is STUPID! It doesn't even work. I was lucky I got my contacts transferred over at Best Buy or else, that would be time consuming too.
Another con is if you've used IOS, I still feel that the text messaging and typing tool of the IOS is Wayyyyy better than anything Android although the "Talk to text" is a huge plus.
So coming from being an IPhone user, I never thought about the accessories that I would want to consider like getting a case, screen protector, and car charger (trust me, the battery life isn't as good as IPhone). Having all that already for IPhone, I realize how much money I could save on accessories. I'm considering ordering the IPhone 4S and taking this one back.
I hope I don't regret that decision, but I have a feeling the IPhone 4S is going to be way better than my initial thought at the announcement.
Anyway, hope that helps you. I'm leaning on IPhone 4S. And if I get that, at least I get a free headphone lol... The Galaxy S2 only came with the charger.
Good luck on your decision.

Experience... at least with Galaxy S2 coming from a previous IPhone user.
Does anyone have the samsung galaxy nexus for Verizon, what's your experience?
Q. I was standing in the Verizon store debating between the I phone 4 s and the nexus. I read reviews on the nexus saying that battery life is horrible, like 4 hours with the extender battery. I walked out with the I phone, but I think I'm an android person. I was wondering what are your experiences with the galaxy nexus? Thanks
A. I have the Nexus and I love it. My last phone was the HTC Incredible, and I chose it on specs alone, and I was wrong in doing so. The best thing about the Galaxy Nexus is the lack of manufacturer meddling with the operating system. This means updates will be faster and more reliable, and without all the junk the phone runs faster than some phones with higher specs.
As far as the battery life, I too was worried, but even with the regular battery it's not too bad. I did get the extended battery however and I'm pleased with it. I don't make many calls, but on average if I take my phone off the charger before leaving for work I can do 15 min of music streaming on the way to work in the car, do roughly another 30 minutes of web browsing during breaks, and watch a 45 minute show on Netflix during lunch (which uses about 200-300 mb, in case you don't have the old unlimited plan) and the whole time I'm going in and out of 4G signal (through no fault of the phone) and still I have 40-50% left on my battery when I get home.
As I write this, according to the battery info in Android 4.0 my phone has been on battery power for 13 hours and 49 minutes and it still has 44% left. The screen accounts for 49% of the total drain, Android OS for 19%, Phone idle 14%, Cell Standby 12% and everything else 3% or less. Keep in mind this is with the extended battery.
The only thing some people may have a problem with is the camera. It's not the camera the 4S has, and indeed my old HTC had a better camera but it has some cool things like near-instant shutter speed and panoramic mode. Hands down it takes the cake on everything else though.
