Change of Phone and Carrier

Well as with all of us we are all trying to save a penny here and a penny there so to do that i decided to switch carriers and move from Big Red to TMO. After much debate and asking the opinion of some friends I found myself at T-Mobile.

Went from the Droid Bionic to the great Galaxy S2. Man this phone is a nice, so fast and boots up quickly. It packs a dual core 1.5 Ghz, 1GB Ram and comes with 16 Gigs of on board storage. SO i dropped my 32 gig micro sd card and im good to go. Blazing fast no issues, well apart from the touch whiz which on this phone is not so bad and there are a few trick with this phone like the tilt to move and voice talk which allows you to do almost everything on the phone with just talking to it. You can even wake it up by either tapping the top of the phone or saying "hi Galaxy" it then prompts you to say a command. It's awesome and really comes in handy when driving.

OK i always tell myself with every new phone that i will not root it and i usually hold out for a few weeks but with my friends getting the Galaxy Nexus i was compelled to Root it and get ICS on there which i did. Not the full ICS experience but close enough some of the best elements of it anyway like swipe to clear notifications, text messaging , the cool blue colors and the Roboto fonts. Needless to say i'm cool with this phone and although my friends will laugh in my face when i say i see myself hanging on to this phone for a good while i really do believe i can hold out but then again only time will tell.
