Any android apps you'd suggest?
What's the equivalent of face time? Skype best?
What do you use instead of iTunes to sync music, Kies? Dropbox? Anything else?
Any good kids apps, slightly educational if possible?
More?
Thanks

doubletwist for music, you can sync it to your itunes libraries and stream to devices with airtwist
kids apps - google books, amazon books
amazon app store - 1 free app everyday, occasionally a decent game for free- chrome for android looks nice too, but only available for Ice Cream Sandwich version of OS.d_rek

Oh, and don't forget to root that bitch.

I haven't used Kies (Samsung) too much, but it's pretty cool how you can organize stuff on your phone through a browser window.

What about in terms of face time / video call to iphone users?

for the record, isyncr wifi is very straight forward for syncing itunes lists

For whatever reason Kies doesn't work for me, but you can just turn on USB storage mode under Settings and it turns your phone into a portable drive.

Btw if you find a good case for your note let me know, as I can't seem to find anything that will add protection but won't make the phone huge in my pocket

There was a good one that looked a bit like the ipad screen cover but it blocks the camera when you fold it back. Genius!
- Aye, they gave me that when I bought it. It's annoying, but I'm scared to death of damaging the screen.Andrew_D

Also, does anyone know how to get rid of the spammy battery upgrade adds? Airpush detector seems ok but wondered if anyone has other solutions

I went back to iphone. The one thing that would have kept me would have been an itunes equivalent. Spent so much time that I didn't have trying to sync podcasts, music etc I just gave up!

I never thought I'd say it but this xperia z makes the iPhone obsolete. In comparison the iPhone screen is tiny and iOS seems very dated and restricted.
- Wow, and you were loving your iPhone! Android has really caught up now. Enjoy your new toy!Hombre_Lobo

After owning an Android device for 2 years I can honestly say I fucking hate this thing, but not because the OS is bad. No, it's these things which make me never want an Android device again:
- Shitty manufacturer support for firmware and device updates.
- (Mostly) Craptacular app selection.
- It's basically a miniature PC... which means that it's made with all of the cheap hardware, drivers, and poor QA that most mass-marketed PC's are made of.
- Rooting it didn't make it any better, just allowed me to update the firmware at will.. but that introduced it's own slew of problems.- so, which apps do you recommend for Craig?monospaced
- read other posts before trying to make a snarky commentd_rek
