I can't wait; wouldn't mind dropping $600 on it.

I really hate Sense with a passion. The horrors of HTC Sense on Android 2.x.x to 4.0.x phones.

In my opinion, as an android fan, I would get the s4. Don't need to touch screen to answer calls; don't need to use hands to scroll while browsing web (it reads ur eyes); 13 mp camera. HTC one has only 5 mp camera; doesn't have those great sensing features; however, it does have a super nice sound system. Well, again just my opinion.

i agree better lookin

I prefer my iPhone. iOS is so much more refined (appearance) than Android.

Thanks for all your help guys! I'm still thinking about getting the iphone because I'm mostly going to be using it for facebook surfing the web music and games and apps and stuff like that and the app store satisfy me better than google play

I'd suggest the HTC, it is gorgeous. The S4 if you need a removable battery/storage.

I highlighted the most critical points in bold.

iPhone 5:
+Good starter smart phone if you're technologically impaired
[b]+The phone is stupid-proof[/b]
+Great display
+The App Store is better than Google Play, app-quality-wise
+Overall a nice phone, despite what blind Apple-haters say
+Great capabilities after jailbroken
-Needs to be jailbroken to have functionality
[b]-Expensive as frick[/b]
-No expandable memory
-Requires iTunes, one of the worst music players ever

HTC One
[b]+Literally the most beautiful and sleek phone I have ever seen[/b]
+Powerful, CPU-wise
+Great base internal storage
+1080x1920 screen
+Great sound
+Overall a great phone
-No expandable memory
[b]-Uses HTC Sense 5 (not as bad as previous HTC Senses, but I still dislike it) + Android 4.1.2[/b]
-Battery life isn't amazing

Galaxy S4 (personally haven't used the S4, but this is what I see
[b]+Runs on Android 4.2.2[/b]
+Removable battery
+Improvement from the S3
+Great processor
+Durable phone
+Expandable memory
[b]-One of the ugliest mainstream smart phones in the market[/b]
-Poor sound quality

Conclusion:
[*]Take the iPhone5 if you just want a phone to browse the web, text, talk, etc. At the same time, the phone is user-limited and expensive.
[*]Take the Galaxy S4 if you want the true Android experience and good hardware. At the same time, the phone is super goddamn ugly and not fit for "audiophiles."
[*]Take the HTC One if you want a beautiful AND powerful phone. At the same time, the phone is crippled by HTC Sense and below-average battery life.

HTC would actually be one of the best smart phone manufacturers if they cut the crap with Sense; Sense is objectively worse than Jellybean and is just there to make HTC look "unique."
