    Multiple phones and one Google account

    Title says it all. Sometimes I like to head off the beaten path, but I would feel a little nervous with my current phone, and I would like to switch my SIM into another Android phone for those times.

    Dual core now or later?

    I just bought a Nexus S, but I think I have to return it because it has 3G connectivity issues. This leads to a dilemma: Should I swap for another Nexus or get a dual-core model instead like the Atrix or the Galaxy S II? I originally got the Nexus because I didn't like how LG took forever in...
