So as i said in my previous post, my phone is on its last legs, though it's not clear if it will be days, weeks or months until the volume rocker craps out as well, at which point using the phone will become even more difficult. (Not that the current situation is exactly rosy.)

So what should i do about it?




So if you want to make a (very slightly) informed choice, here's what i think i know about the phones:

Pros and Cons of phones

I'm pretty happy with my current 3.7" phone. I could see going up to 4" pretty dubiously. I've tried out the Nexus 4, HTC One and Galaxy S4 in the local T-Mobile store, and they seem rather clunky to me. Of course it's hard to be 100% sure about that since they have the big clunky anti-theft devices attached.

I definitely want something that's fairly powerful, since i want something that will last me for awhile. And i'd like something with a decent amount of space in it. The 16 GB microSD card in my Nexus One is almost full. There's definitely stuff i don't need right at the moment that i could delete to free up space, but i did need that space for at least brief periods of time, so if i get a phone with just 16 GB of space i'm going to start out feeling crowded and it will only get worse as the years go by.

And of course i want either vanilla Android, or something i can easily wipe and replace with CyanogenMod or some other decent rom.

Almost nothing is known about this phone. However the rumor is that it will have pure or almost pure Android, will have a fairly robust build, and will be smaller than the Galaxy S4 (not that that's hard.)

Your guess is as good as mine
