New to Droidforums and soon to be an android phone owner!

[GivingHope]

Hello Droidforums! I am a UCLA student and I will soon be getting my very first smartphone (current contract ends in a week)! I hope that this forum will be a valuable resource for me.

I'm not sure where to ask this question, but I'm still undecided on which phone to get. I've been reading that Samsung Galaxy SII, DroidX2, LG Revolution, and Droid Bionic are going to be available soon. The horror stories I've been hearing about the HTC Thunderbolt's battery life turns me away from the Thunderbolt. I'm restricted to Verizon only, so someone help out a future droid owner pick the best android phone . Thanks!
