Time for a New Cellphone: Need Ideas

[Wiggles92]

Alright, so it's time for me to get a new cellphone, but I'm unsure of which phone to get as there are quite a few options out there. I've looked at a variety of reviews & "Best Smartphone" lists for most of the phones that meet the following criteria, but I still can't decide on what to get.

My criteria are pretty simple:

1. Carrier: Verizon
2. Category: Smartphone
3. Price: $200 or less (preferably much less)

Also, I unfortunately live in 3G land, and I'm not going to be in 4G LTE areas all that much. I would prefer to get the phone ASAP as my current phone is my back-up phone that's on its last legs, and I don't have another phone to use if my current one goes kaput; that's also why I want a brand new phone, too, rather than a certified used one.

Any suggestions?

Galaxy S3 FTW. No point really to get the iphone 4s when the iphone 5 is coming out in a few months.

Thanks for the links; I've checked all of those out already, too. Any firsthand experience with any of them?

The only problem with that phone is that they aren't available for Verizon until July 11 at the earliest.

Nm no longer available. I would go HTC, Samsung, or Apple

Not with those models but looking at the price compared to the specs, they seem legit.

Okay, thanks for the tip. Any specific reasoning as to why those brands are better?

Ah, okay, that certainly makes sense.

HTC has a very usable interface called sense UI that most people think is the best of the Android UI's, Samsungs have beautiful screens and make the current Android flagship phone the Galaxy Nexus. Apple is well Apple so the iPhone while spendy is a really great phone. Hope that helps a little.
