I picked up a Galaxy S2 recently because a client asked me to do an Android port of an iOS app. As a communication device, I think it easily trounces the iPhone, even though its only running 2.3. The Google accounts integration is a lot smoother than mail on the iPhone and the phone features are better overall. And I never want to go back to pecking out text messages one letter at a time after using Swype. However, as an apps platform it sucks for all the well known reasons. I think the reason that Android phones have sold so well is that the core features are at least as good as the iPhone. It's too bad, because I actually prefer the way they do a lot of things in the SDK (resource management, for instance). But I agree Google needs to get things under control soon.
