– So much faster. Apple OS updates have crippled the previous speed of my 3G

– Email client searching actually works!

– Widgets, love them.  (Instead of opening the Facebook app, I can watch a real-time scroll of statuses)

– Contact shortcuts, love them.  (You can make a shortcut to a contact, which is great since I talk to 3 people 99% of the time)

– The voice command/control is AWESOME. While texting to my wife, I said “Holy Shit, I just said smileyface!” and it translated to: “Holy #### I just said :-)”

– The Android market blows compared to the ITunes store. It sucks in the following ways:

    1) No searchable web interface

    2) Too easy to scam people. Someone is selling $1 Angy Birds (wallpaper) and people are buying it thinking it is the game

    3) There are some apps I don’t see, and my EVO friend does, I think it is because I am running Gingerbread? But I don’t know.

– Maps / Car mode / Barcode scanning app / Camera, all BETTER

– Keyboard, WORSE. The elegance of the IPhone keyboard is gone. Lots of little things.

– “Menu” button.. not sure. I think I can get used to it, but who knows.

All together, I am very excited to be free of my IPhone and I think this new phone will make me more productive and less frustrated. As a side-note, I am left-handed and the Nexus S is clearly built of righties (and their fascist agenda). I wish a handset maker would create a symmetric phone with programmable buttons.
