I Love Lamp. And Ender's Game. Don't tell Lamp.

I've narrowed my decision to three choices;
1) The HTC Droid DNA
2) The HTC 8X
3) The Iphone 5


All of the phones have there pros and cons; the two HTC phones might be too big, as I have very small hands, and the Iphone isn't quite as powerful as the other two phones. I know several people who are quite impressed with their Iphones, however. I also have a Mac, which would be a bonus due to the compatibility between the two. For those of you who are learned on all of these phones, what would you pick? Please no Apple hate in this thread, I just want some advice.

Also, in case anyone was wondering, I left out the GS3 for a variety of reasons that I don't feel like getting in to.

Edit: Just to clarify, I have Verizon. As appetizing as the Nexus and Lumia are, I can't have them.

Close, but the plague killed those infected with it, and the ignorant are still alive.
I wish ignorance was a plague.

None of those.

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

Never really liked HTC hardware and I find the iPhone a bit too simplistic and generic for my tastes. However, it sounds like staying in the Apple ecosystem might be best for you, especially if the size of the phone is a big deal.

Don't underestimate the value of going into a store and playing with all of these phones. I love the Windows Phone user interface and customizability, but it's really a matter of personal opinion, so others' opinions on UI and useability are really not going to be of much use to you and your own preferences.

Ya, that's the big problem right now, availability. I'm in Canada, it's even worse for me. They had apparently stocked back up today, but only for the US.

STOP ASSAULT 2012

Who is Assault? Assault is a mod in the Bungie.net brony group. And what started out with good intentions, viciously spiraled down into a power hungry tyrant locking thread after thread after thread to quell all opposition to his tyrannical rule. Did I mention he is a tyrant?

To donate to the STOP ASSAULT 2012 movement, message me with your credit card info, full name, social security, full adress, and mothers maiden name.

DNA if you like android, 8X if you like WP8. Honestly, there isn't a lot of reasons to go with the iphone because you can just drag and drop with the dna, which I think is easier then any syncing.

And the 8X is only 4.3 inches, not big at all.

Why would you get an outdated phone like the 4S when you could get something new?

I was planning on going to the Verizon store in a few days just to play with each of the phones for a few minutes. I don't think the size would be that big of a deal, as I never really use devices with one hand anyway; my hands are so small that using the Ipod Touch 4th Gen. is uncomfortable when used with one hand. On the subject of Windows Phone 8, I read it was having some problems with rebooting the phone randomly. Have you had this problem?

There comes a time in every mans life... and that time is not now.

I'd get the iphone.

The updates to the 5 are minute, and not worth the cost increase.

The 5 is slightly larger (5th row of Apps), has a nicer Camera, and the updated charger and such.

The 4S, when updated to OS6, gets 95% of the features most people think are exclusive to the 5: Siri Update, Apple Maps, etc.

As someone who does have a WP8, I've never had the problem and its probably just a couple of isolated incidents. Microsoft said they found the problem and a patch would be out in December to fix it, if you want the source I can link it but its really going to be a non-issue.

It's an unlocked phone....so you buy it from Google Play and then take it to whatever provider you have.

OT: HTC DNA (Verizon)

That's only half right. It's an unlocked GSM phone, which means you can take it to any GSM carrier, of which Verizon is not.
