I am on AT&T because while Verizon has about the same coverage, maybe even a little better in some select areas, but it is more expensive because I only get the $15 data plan from AT&T and Verizons cheapest is twice that.
Anyway, I currently have an iPhone 4 and I am eligible for upgrade on December 5th. I really want to ditch Apple for something with more freedom, and most importantly, Flash (I need to watch Flash videos a lot for school). I started looking mid September and was dead set on the Galaxy S2. Then, around the time the iPhone 4S was announced I stumbled upon rumors of the "Nexus Prime" and was intrigued. I watched the announcement of the Galaxy Nexus live on Youtube and loved it.
I was torn though, I like the looks and screen size of the Galaxy Nexus better than the SGS2 but I am worried about the lack of Gorilla Glass and everything I am reading says the physical hardware of the Nexus is one or two steps down from the SGS2.
Now the SGS2 Skyrocket LTE has been thrown into the mix and I am even more unsure. This has a bigger screen which I like, but from what I am told has an inferior processor and GPU to the ones used in the original SGS2.
I can only afford to get a new phone on upgrade, so whichever phone I choose I will have for about two years. I will mostly use it to surf the web, email, text, take pictures, and watch videos. I hope to keep whichever one I choose loaded with the next 10-20 episodes of whatever show I am watching (I pick a show and then watch it in its entirety from episode one until the finale, or until the most recent episode). I will also need to watch some Flash videos on Blackboard for school.
I do not live in an LTE area (I live in Kentucky) but as I said I will keep the phone for 2 years so I wouldn't be totally surprised if LTE came this way before I am eligible for an upgrade again.
Considering all of this, which phone seems the best? Which of these three phones would you get if you were me?
