My business partners' and I celebrated a fantastic April with new phones for ourselves:

The unlocked/GSM Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Holy fuck, this thing is insane. Anybody else using a phone with Ice Cream Sandwich and if so, any recs.? Now that I'm free of HTC Sense I'm think of using a custom launcher like Apex.

ICS is like a combination of Gingerbroead and iOS; a little bit overwhelming.

Got rid of my Atrix and went back to iOS. However, I've played with my buddy's Transformer Prime running ICS and it's awesome. I wouldn't be opposed to trying a Nexus out.

I picked up an HTC One X last week. It's a great looking phone with an amazing screen. The non-removable battery and lack of an SD slot might bother some Android users, but I'm used to my iPhone, so it's not an issue. I've heard people complain about the Sense UI but version 4.0 works great, in my opinion. I was kinda worried that I was jumping the gun instead of waiting to see what the Gallaxy SIII was like, but I think I made the right choice.

I'm glad you're all concerned about the weather in Barcelona. (iPhone)

I'm excited about the Samsung Galaxy Nexus III but seeing as I can't get a new phone until 2013, I'm set with my Droid Bionic.

It's funny because I am actually concerned about the weather in Barcelona because there's an F1 race there next weekend.

The One X looks pretty awesome. I just hate that Android is moving towards huge screen sizes. Somebody needs to make a 3.5 inch with comparable specs to the 4S.

Would have been all over this, but not enough storage. I'll probs be on the GS3 train.

I'm happy enough with my HTC with the Sense UI, but from everything I read the android system is better without it. I'll use this phone until it falls apart since it works fine and all, but next time I'll probably look for something without that extra layer of interface. I just don't see the point.

I'm very much done with my Samsung Epic 4G (and Sprint for that matter). Will be moving over to Verizon soon so my wife and I can have a family plan. Haven't seen what other phones they have but my buddy is really impressed with his Droid RAZR he got a month or two ago. Especially the battery life - he doesn't have to charge it every day while keeping 4G on the entire time, while I am charging mine after 6 hours (not using 4G).
