Done with the iPhone - SGS2, NOTE or S2 Skyrocket?

Lost my jailbreak yesterday due to a bad app in Cydia, and I simply can not stand having a phone that I can not customize. I'll be selling my iphone 4 now stuck on ios 5.1 asap, but in the meantime, I am heading to AT&T tomorrow and buying a new Android based phone.

question I need answered are, does the sgs2, sgs2 skyrocket and Note all have the ability to utilize ICS? Even if it means rooting and loading a rom, I don't care. I have ICS on my Touchpad and that is what I know and like.

In terms of screen quality, I would hazard to guess the Note is the best, followed by the skyrocket?

Any insights are appreciated. I'm paying an etf to get rid of this damn iphone4 too. Don't care. Have had enough fighting Apple to get and keep a customizable phone. It is actually stressful worrying if you are gonna lose your jailbreak, cause Apple closes the window on it and of course, I dont pY to tether the iphone, had a cydia app for that, but you have to worry about att catching you. These are all things i just want to not deal with anymore.

Thanks in advqnce.
 
I love that you're paying an ETF to get rid of the iPhone!
Anyway, I've honestly not played with any of them. But I think it comes down to three factors:
Screen size: Note wins, but it is HUGE.
LTE: if it's in your area, def. the Skyrocket.
(If it's not and the Note is too big, go with the SGS2, though I'd caution you to wait for the SGS3)
We use an iPod Touch at work for radio and I have a Nexus. It's a big step in screen size I think you'll appreciate. Either way, good luck and definitely go to an ATT store and play with all of them.
