LG Spectrum 2 (Verizon Wireless)

Pros: Powerful, great screen, native ICS, decent battery life, has SD card slot, has replaceable battery (the ones from my old Spectrum fit), NFC, fine build qualtiy and THEY FINALLY BROUGHT BACK A NOTIFICATION LIGHT (on the power button).

Cons: Square corners are a bit sharp (if I have to complain about something).

Summary: I really liked the original Spectrum I bought when they were released and the ICS update made it even better. I decided to get the Spectrum 2 because it carried on past the original Spectrum with a few new features and several improvements (LIKE ADDING A NOTIFICATION LIGHT). Yes, there are more powerful and more current phones out now, but this one is totally viable without being a quad core and likely a "best buy" regardless of whether or not Jelly Bean is ever released for it. this is an LG smartphone that compares well with anyone.
