Sorry not sure how we can answer your question!

Go look at the handsets and purchase the one you like

I have an S2 and a Note, and will have a Nexus when it comes out, will be a pretty good position to let you know how they compare. That said you need to give us a lot more detail about what you'll be using the phone for, if there are areas that are much more important to you than others etc etc.

No idea about Nexus release date here, but it'll be available from elsewhere from Nov 17th (should have mine in hand ~21st or so).

Galaxy S II is feature rich and a great "mini pad" but unless you have very large hands, they are clumbsy to operate. Note: this comparison is made against Nokia N8, iPhone 3GS, HTC Trophy and LG Optimus One.

Umm... I have small hands and find the SGS2 is a breeze to operate. 

To OP - you need to work out what you want to do with your phone then look for a phone that has the features that meet your needs. Read some reviews online, visit stores and look at the phones (and, ideally, play with them a bit) then look at what appeals and whether it matches your budget. 

The only other thing to consider is which network you want to go with. Some phones work only on Vodafone/2 Degrees GSM networks, some work only on Telecom. Some few, like the Samsung Galaxy S2 will work on any of them. 

There are so many phones to choose from now. Whatever meets your needs and budget, and makes you happy, is the phone that is right for you.

maybe I just have short thumbs, but I find single handed operation is tricky.
