Incredible S really only a midrange phone.It's only a single core 1ghz, it only has about 1gig ROM (you'll need to get an SD card if you start installing too much), and you lose HDMI-out and USB On-The-Go.
It's still a decent phone, but I reckon it will be noticeably slower than your old S2.

Link please, cheapest I've found is $573 (and eBay isn't an option).
Haven't seen them at that price in a little while, I grabbed one from Kogan for that a few months back.
Another slightly cheaper option is the Motorola Droid RAZR, very nice phone and something a little different.

I stumbled on this video (sorry, not sure how to embed) and found it interesting.
It's the LG Prada and whilst it isn't identical to the current two smartphone giants, there are a lot of similarities with it.
The most surprising thing about it is it was first announced I month prior to the iPhone so technically it really was the first of the modern smartphone as we know them.
I don't ever remember hearing much about it when it came out but surely it must have been the first of it's kind when it came out.
Did it ever get far?

Unlikely, but there were "smartphones" out well before that. Devices like the Samsung i700 were out in 2004.
Despite what a lot of people believe Apple generally don't invent things, they just put a pretty bow on stuff that's been out for ages and market the shit out of it.
having a touch screen doesn't make it a smart phone.

Got the Galaxy Nexus on Friday. Was expecting to be overwhelmed by the size of it but I'm not.
Makes browsing a lot more enjoyable that's for sure.

I'm changing over from my DesireHD to SGS2. Any recommendation of accessories?

Thank you kind sir.
though with the extended battery, how much juice can you get out of it compared to the one that comes with it already?

I've got the Sony Ericson Xperia Arc, and I'd recommend it if anyone's interested.

Hmmm. I was tossing up the idea of buying a spare normal battery and swapping over if it runs out.
Anyway, Those SGP NH EX case are really good looking.

make sure any extended battery has the appropriate antenna for the NFC chip

Thats what I have. I bought 2 spare batteries along with a wall recharger on E Bay for about $29 and it works an absolute treat for me.
This one looks pretty nice too....

Almost tempted to get one, they're releasing the SDK for it too so there should be plenty of custom apps. XBMC integration would be awesome

Its a horrible phone. My work gave me one
its was rubbish. I went straight out and bought a SGS2, much better.
Of course it is. You're comparing a phone that retails at $749 to one that retails at $169
There's also the Galaxy Ace in that price range worthy of consideration.
