My wife's bby has been going to shit, her line had an upgrade we got early and she wanted an iPhone (can't early upgrade a 4S) so, anyway, I have a Samsung galaxy s2 on the way and she'll get my iPhone 4G

So what do I need to know about the droid? My emails are Imap so I don't need to really transfer anything other than pictures so that's no biggie.

What are the must-have apps?

Shazam on my iPhone only allows 5 tags a month. It was unlimited on my old droid.

You're going to love the phone spanks.

I'm an iphone whore, but I played with the gf's dad's galaxy and loved it.
