Tmobile and what phone to get

Tomorrow is April 12th for me. That means with T-mobile, they've finally been able to jump onto the bandwagon and strike a deal to bring the iPhone. However I'm not sure what to get. There's the Galaxy S4 and HTC One coming out soon. Both look like viable options and I'm leaning slightly towards HTC's latest phone. I have a Galaxy SII right now. Which phone should I get and why?

For me I care about the battery life and processing speed the most. If the phone can't even last for me to enjoy movies and play games, what's the point? The rest take a backseat in terms of my priorities.

I don't think anything right now will beat the S4 in terms of processing speed. Also, you said you like watching movies and playing games, the 5" 1920x1080 screen on the S4 would be perfect for that. In terms of battery life, I'm not sure but most people I know who have the S3 say the battery life if pretty good. The S4 is supposed to have an even better battery.

Why get iphone 5 when iphone 5s is around the corner? I think you should get the S4 because i have the S3 and the battery life is very good, i torrent tv show on my S3 and last the me the whole day.. but im waiting for the next iphone 5s because its stupid to upgrade the S3 to S4, almost the same specs and the phone looks the same..

I got a Nexus 4 because I'm a cheap bastard. Get a Nexus 4 and mod it so it's LTE radio works.

iPhone 5. I've used the Galaxy S3 for a long time & I really hated how there were like 3 GPS options so I had to tick all 3 to check in somewhere on Yelp, FoureSquare or Facebook. I would always turn GPS off too unless I was checking cuz battery wasn't good. I would use apps like juice defender to manage battery life with Android. However
with the iPhone 5 I can leave location services on, not have any type of battery saving app & my phone will last a whole day no problem. Also charging the iPhone 5 is super fast compared to any of the android phones I have used.
