11. Any specific mobile phones in consideration?

Went through lots of review and I liked Note the most, Nexus and SII kinda similar but I like SII more
But I'm confused, should I go for Note or Wait for new one as WMC just concluded. However can't wait for too long
12. Any other info that you want to share
ICS upgrade is important

well, if you like the Galaxy Note, nothing beats that beast

Go for it without a second thought.

S2 and Nexus are similar, yes, but Note is something unique, if you can bear the large odd screen, then nothing is best for you.

But, you stated that you are an android developer, so, testing apps on that big screen won't give you much idea about how will it work on the phones with smaller screens. Just sayin' , i dont know much about testing and deployment in android.

if you go for S2, check very carefully that it is I9100 & not I9100G. the latter have Texas Instruments processor which is fast but carries a very weak GPU.

Well the SGS2 is a huge phone and the Note makes it look like a toy. The NOTE is a monster and look like it too.

I would go with the just-about-pocket friendly SGS2.
