First, given the track record of manufacturers with android security updates, I wouldn't install a bitcoin wallet on my phone.

Then, there is the problem with "buy $5 worth of bitcoin". Last time I checked, this was everything but trivial, at least here in Europe.

And finally, the last purchase I made with bitcoins on steam took more than 12 hours to get validated. I used the standard bitcoin fee of the bitcoin-qt client but it seems to be far from enough nowadays.

So you know what the problem is, but you pretend that it's not your problem. If you use any modern bitcoin wallet, android or not, it'll automatically append a reasonable fee, and validate in about 2 seconds.
