Wifi Hotspot and USB Tether Pro by SVTP.
There's a trial version as well.

Yup, got that back in December.
Only works with Citi MCs, so worthless for me once you spend the $10.

Dan,

I have a question. I know you travel internationally a lot, yet the nexus is not a global phone. What do you do when you leave the country. especially considering the fact that verizons international charges are obscene?

I have a world phone with a sim from OneSimCard.
I barely use it and love my international trips even more b/c I'm disconnected.

Chrome on ICS is AMAZING! It synced all my settings from my laptop and I am loving it!

I am not impressed. No full screen, no quick-controls (which are much better than side-swipe tabs IMO), and very jerky and buggy. Definitely has potential though.

I used the original $10 and then tried what you said. I tried it 3 times and have yet to get a new $10. I've tried by using a new google account, clearing my caches in both the browser and market - nothing. It shows a balance of $0 every time.

You have been able to get a new $10? If yes, what am I doing wrong? Or were you merely speculating?

This worked right away first time for me. Google for sure fixed it by now....

Can somebody recommend a charger for the Galaxy that charges quickly? I currently use the Samsung charger which charges very very slowly.....

The samsung spare battery+battery charging station doesn't seem so slow to me.

I don't ever charge the phone itself, I just swap the battery out for a charged one.

Its a whopping $49.99 for the Galaxy s2! What do you think of this website they have it for $38
http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=59977

No idea, but why are you posting in this thread instead of the s2 thread?
