Need an Andorid expert, considering the switch from iOS -> Android - Page 2

One X probably won't happen for the largest reason being, "built in" battery. It disgusts me to see an Android with that as ONLY Apple can sneak away with this part of why im looking at Android IS cause of the removable battery (& option of 2000mAh+ battery with minimum bloat size) oh & 4.1 Jelly Bean now... that was a bit irritating as 6 days ago I jumped on a new Galaxy Nexus for $350 (at the time most are $390+ here) & only had a day at most to decide, revert back to iPhone & sell Nexus or press on & sell iPhone. After issues transferring texts from iOS -> Android & suddenly missing my iPhone, at 5am I turned my iPhone back on & restored from backed & resold the Nexus for the same price I got it for the next day.. couldn't decide much longer as one of them had to sell as rent/food money was used to get it. Literially on the bus to take it to the buyer, a Twitter text comes in from the blue announcing Jelly Bean & it's "project butter" & enhanced notifications... FFF.........

I might sell my sig laptop which will cover me buying a Nexus again along with a buff battery without having to sell either phone in a rush(or ever), I don't use it that much but I still like it.. I don't know. Speaking about batteries.. is it a MUST to stick to the $40+ batteries that are 2500mAh+ to retain quality(Mugen is like 4000mAh but almost $100!!)? Theres some 3800mAh ones on eBay for $15..? But are those like those cheap knock off memory sticks/batteries for PSP? That die randomly at "40% charge left" & all or actually provide half the mAh it says..? I do remember when I had the Nexus my signal bars were LOW.. like 0 or maybe 2 bars at most.. though data was fair for my basement location @ about 2Mbps via speedtest.. but my iPhone 4S beside it got 3-4 bars & about 2.5Mbps but the Nexus was running 4.0.1 & I read rumors that 4.0.4(second build) fixes that, maybe? The tiny GSM bars were jumping from "H" to "3G" to even "E" sometimes & even I had my micro SIM placed in, it was firmly in place with proper contact on the pins.

I have pretty much dropped SGS2 LTE from consideration despite the lovely SD slot, LTE & home button.. The Nexus has the updates slightly better hardware overall, THE SCREEN OF GLORY.. SGS3 well only if I magically find a good deal for one like <$550 or something assuming I choose to sell the laptop as I refuse to renew my contract this time.
