Finally have to get a smart phone

[Nabby]

If you need the best possible GMail experience and are willing to make some other compromises for that, get an Android device. I can't agree with the Galaxy Nexus recommendations - its main advantage is that it supposedly gets the best updates and support, but the Nexus S/4G hasn't even received Ice Cream Sandwich months after its release so why should anyone trust google on this anymore? In addition, the GNex's camera is terrible, it has an unbelievably high hardware malfunction rate, and despite being 720p the screen is actually fairly bad (the year-old, lower-res screen on the Galaxy S2 is leaps and bounds better for example).
My Advice for Android would be to wait for the new HTC One phones. HTC is a much less crappy vendor than Samsung, the current Android market leader.

I disagree with the statement in bold. Sorry man but I switched back to iPhone because of how terrible the default email app is for Android. Both my company and my personal email are google apps accounts to boot...
