But I did not like the price of the iPhone. For what I use the phone for, the $130 price and the drop to $35 a month cannot be beat.

You are experience one of the greatest benefits of Android... Choice. I'm glad you found something that works for you.

No good client for simplenote. no good offline dictionaries compared to ios either. Nothing equal to tweetbot. I loved tweetbot.

Yeah there is not tweetbot, I'm not sure what features your looking for nor do I use twitter that much so I don't know what to recommend. I know seismic and tweeter deck is a popular choice. There are lots and lots of twitter clients. I think one of them should work for you, you'll just have to try a few.
This is the first time I've heard of simplenote so I can't recommend an app. After doing a quick search on it I can say stick with Evernote. The Evernote client is REALLY good and the features Evernote offers is much more powerful than simplenote.
If it is collaboration your interested in I would recommend Google Drive(aka Docs) since it is also platform independent and works on iOS, Android, the Web, etc.... Evernote has some basic collaboration features that seems to match simplenote but both are lacking compared to Google Drive.

I just read an article yesterday, from a Apple slant site. They where arguing that the Android and iOS app chasm has been closed.
I think folks are starting to question that myth.

I think there are a lot of misconceptions about Widgets and battery drains. Folks initially probably guessed it was the widgets that caused Android battery to be poor w/o looking at the obvious...literally. The biggest battery drain is the screen size. Your 3.5" screen is small enough that a decent battery should get you trough most of the day if not through several days.
