LG G2, HTC One, Moto X...buying tomorrow and I can't decide which I want. Suggestions? Others I should consider instead? I need to replace my beat up, cracked iphone 4 and am eligible for upgrade, but I'm really indecisive.
@disinfected I'd choose a 32gb Nexus 5, as it will be one of the, if not, first phones to receive updates, due to it being a 'Google' Phone. The other choices you have got lined up is good though, still.

Yep indeed.
Got Samsung Galaxy Note II, Samsung Galaxy Note III, Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tab, Samsung Galaxy Gear. And I used to be a HTC guy...
But the combo of Note III and Gear is just awesome.
Also got Xperia Z1.

Just brought home a new blue HTC One tonight. This is going to take some getting used to.

Here's one. I used to only buy Nokia, before the era of smartphones, and then I switched to Android-based Samsung phones. Had a few, up to the S3. Was going to wait for my wife to buy her next phone first, and she was looking at the Note 3, but it was simply too expensive and a tad too big for a phone, so she went with the Nexus 5. Had a good play with it and I liked it, so I ordered myself a Nexus 5 as well, the 32GB in black. Unfortunately, I may be waiting a while for it... but it should be here before Christmas.

I had an iPhone 5. I am very careful with my phones. I don't put it in a case unless its raining. But anyways I was at the local track and did a go-cart race. At some point during the race my phone turned in my pocket and started to fall below me. Anyone who races go-carts knows they corner hard. The phone then conformed to my right leg and seat. This is the result:
I plan on going to an Apple store tomorrow to see if they will replace it (im not too hopeful). Ive been thinking about what to do depending on if they replace it or not. If they don't Im going to find a cheap phone off craigslist. If they do im going to try and keep it in the box and put it on craigslist. Id use the money to pay off the contract with AT&T and get a phone with T-Mobile. I need something capable of being a mobile hotspot out of the box and preferably a small up front payment. Im thinking about a HTC One, anyone on here have good or bad things to say about it?

Got myself a HTC On Mini the other week
It's a very good phone. Good quality speakers (With decent volume), very fast and responsive, a decent amount of memory. The camera is very decent, they reduced the megapixels in order to improve various other features which overall make a better quality picture (Shutter speed, light responsiveness etc.). It's highly customisable, the only drawback is their 'blinkfeed' on the first homepage tab, which isn't removable yet on my model. Though you can remove it on the HTC One as that has the latest software update. It has a very sleek case, similar to the HTC one but has plastic edges seperating the aluminium instead of a one-piece case. The battery life is excellent, though this may be due to my obsession with turning off data connections whenever i'm not browsing the internet.
The main two drawbacks are the lack of storage (No SD card slot, only 16GB as standard, limiting for heavy music/video users) and the shape. I just can't get over the shape, it seems they went the same route Apple went with the iphone 5; a taller thinner phone. At first it's difficult to reach the top of the screen, and it's impossible to press the lock/on/off button without shifting your grip. It has the same screen size as my old HTC sensation (4.3"), but it's near half an inch taller because of the changed height/width ratio and the addition of an extra speaker on the bottom end of the phone. This bothers me so much I wish I had spent the extra to get the flagship HTC One, as they got the proportions right with that one.

iPhone 5 got slightly soaked as it was in my outer pocket whilst I was caught out in the rain, now it won't turn on 
I hate phones, but I can't be doing with the grief of sorting out a replacement. My Old HTC got dunked in welsh river once and it still worked. Bad Apple.

I really want to like the HTC One Mini, I just wish they hadn't downgraded it so much from the One. Perfect screen size, just give me the specs of the One!Got myself a HTC On Mini the other week

Anyways, I'm rocking a White iPhone 5. Might upgrade to 5S or LG G2. Hard to give up iMessage though...

I just got a Nokia Lumia 1520, the glossy red one, a few days ago. 
It's quite a change from the andriod but I think I'll adapt to it in no time. The display is amazing. It renders photos I've taken on it beautifully, with very lifelike colors and lighting/shadows. Awesome. This is the one with the 21megapixel camera in it, whereas the 1020 has the big 41megapixel installed. I can only imagine how insanely detailed those photos would be after seeing mine.
The other thing I noticed right off the bat is that the phone is fast, very very fast. It's got a quad core snapdragon processor running at 2.2Ghz, which is fairly blazing for a phone. Also, excellent amounts of out of the box storage means that I didn't have to buy an extra sd card right away, as I spent enough just to get the phone as it was.
As for the size, yes, it's big. No, I mean it's BIG! Freakin thing is huge and that in and of itself will take me the longest to get used to. Just the viewable portion of the screen is bigger than pretty much every other phone's overall size out there. The new term for these is "phablet", cross of a phone and tablet. I don't care for the term myself, but whatever, I didn't come up with it. The other option would have been "tabone"....
Oh yea, it's got win 8.1 going on it and came with office. Sweet bonus for me!👍
Now I can finally take care of some of my work files at home or on the go.

Got a Galaxy S4 for an early Christmas present as the new phone being activated meant my old phone got deactivated. So far I love it, the screen size seems perhaps a bit too big but I think I'll get used to it over time. Swype is also miles better than it was on my old phone.

As I posted before I have an iPhone 4. Seen the 5s and unless Apple steps up their game with more customization and an operating system that actually looks finished (ios7 is failure in my opinion) I'm done with Apple and this phone will be dedicated to music playback through my dock/DA converter.

I'm still running on my Samsung Galaxy S2. Really need a new phone as this one freezes multiple times a day. Really want to upgrade to a Samsun Galaxy Note III.

If you're wanting to go that big, think about the Nokia Lumia 1520 as well. It's windows 8 os and has better specs than the samsung note 3, why I went with it instead of an andriod based model. Just something to think about.

I've not read such good things about Windows Phones. Always been a bit of a Samsung / Android fanboy as well.
