Upgraded to a Galaxy Nexus and it's quite good. Currently I'm running stock Android 4.0.4, but this weekend I'll install CyanogenMod and my favorite root-friendly apps. If you're worried about being beholden to carrier update schedules, buy a device that lets you set your own schedule. > > JP: my vote for the cheap tablet goes to the 200ドル Nexus 7. Conor: Thank you. I am looking at Android phones and you just saved me from a bunch of shopping and comparing! The Galaxy Nexus sounds great. I see I can get it from Verizon for 149ドル with a 2-year contract (AKA: enslavement agreement.) I can get it direct from Google for 349ドル - but it's GSM only. Decisions, decisions.
