Yes, Yes... I left my iPhone for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus... It's my first android and I'm trying to see what this thing is capable of. My initial impressions vs. the iPhone are something like this...

1) WOW! What a huge screen!
2) Pretty colors!
3) WTF is this android market and why is it so much worse than that app store?
4) How do I customize it like I want it?!?!

(I'm in a strange mood... sorry. )

Anyways,

I finally unlocked the bootloader, rooted it, and flashed a rom on it last night. I have some cool new features, but it still doesn't look and feel just the way I want it.

So, to all of you android lovers out there who always called me out for my iPhone love, show me the way of the android. What is it that I need to d/l or to do with my phone? As of right now... I kind of miss iOS. (Though I do not missed the specs from my old phone vs. this one!)

Any and all comments and advice welcomed!

i actually never imagined that the android market was so full of useful apps. haha, my last phone was a sony ericsson that didn't run android, so, :C

and the AMOLED screens are absolutely beautiful.

If you're rooted, AndroidWebKey. Full remote control from any computer. GPS coordinate retrieval, etc...bit of a battery whore though.

Mobilism Market (the market alternative).

I'll give it a shot. (I hope it's not TOO much of a battery whore. )

Thanks for the suggestion!

I'm going to bookmark this for when I finally do the switch. (which hopefully will be soon, my 3GS will die any day now, haha).

You said you miss iOS. Tell us what you miss and maybe we can pinpoint what you're looking for a little better

Lol I'm about to do the opposite. I'm going to leave my HTC Evo 4G for iPhone 4S. The thing I loved most about android is the ability to customize everything. The reason I'm getting an iPhone is..... status? I'm that kind of guy....

Opera mobile (You could try dolphin as well, it's pretty good but I prefer opera), the official twitter app, trillian for IM, baconreader for reddit, dropbox, facebook, somekind of office app (I like kingsoft but there are a dime a dozen, kingsoft just happened to be the first one I dl'ed from the market and it worked fine so I stuck with it).

I used winamp for a while as well but then I found my ipod and listen to music from there instead of from the phone.
