Google applications like Launcher, Calendar and Messaging have not been so great in the past. For example, if you were to be using a similar 3rd party app for Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread on your Galaxy S2, you would have been happier than taking advantage of the standard above mentioned applications from Google. However, things have changed and Android 4.0 ICS brings some really nice and useful versions of the a/m apps.
