I share nostatic's concern about the small fonts as well. The eyes don't function as well as they used to.
I headed over to the AT&T store yesterday to check out the Galaxy S2. It is a very nice phone and the screen is very nice. I played around with it for quite a bit and found that it is extremely flexible with the amount of settings that you can control. Some of the settings are buried in varying places according to the app, but they are there. As an example, I use both the GMail app as well as the regular email app for connecting to my Exchange account for work. After playing for a while, I found where I can set the font size within each app. So, that was a score.
I left the store having pretty much decided to pull the trigger and order one through my online Premier account (I've had this since I was with IBM. 23% discount on monthly fees and upgrade eligibility every 12 months). But, when I was driving home, I had a thought. Why not upgrade my existing phone with a decent Mod?
So, I replaced the old Android with Gingerbread via
CyanogenMod 7
I did that this morning, and it gave me all of the features I was looking for other than an upgrade in hardware. I'm going to run this for a while and see if I can keep off the itch to buy a new phone for a while.
