So here's the long story,
Work provides me with a phone, it's currently an iPhone 4s. I've been fine with the iPhone as much of my other electronics and crap is apple. So they all tend to play rather nicely together. A co-worker broke his HTC one and is getting a replacement, but he was already given a new Samsung, so I have the opportunity to take his HTC One replacement, or I can keep my iPhone 4s. If i keep my iPhone I can't say when i will get an upgrade unless i break my phone, which it seems these people do a lot (whether or not it's intentional to get a newer phone or not I don't know) I don't really have much control over my choices due to it being a work provided phone, and I'm not high enough up on the totem poll to be able to request that i want this or that. I've been playing wight eh HTC one today and it's cool, works well, will take me some time to fully get used to it, but it's not bad by any means. I like the screen size although the phone in general feels slightly large in my hands. I dunno, I'm torn. I'm so used to the iPhone but also am frustrated with the limitations of the iOS and apples "you can only do what we allow" mentality.

Maybe you need a flip phone if you're so concerned with Apples BS because you're trying to do too much/spend too much time on your phone.
Think about why you 'want' a different phone and what the 'benefits' of switching really is. Delete any videos, games, etc off you phone. Only use it for texting, email, music, and calling and see how long you really last and re-evaluate your desire to switching. Watch this vid: http://youtu.be/Z7dLU6fk9QY |

Uh, ok... I don't have any media stored on my phone, I stream it to my phone, so a large benefit here is the HTC has 4g. I do enjoy playing some games on the other hand and it will suck to loose my level 60 clash of the clans game and base that i worked so hard to build, as well as my Hay day farm and the top score on whirly word.
I played around with the HTC One some more last night and it seemed to work pretty well with my Home Media system. I really liked it's built in TV app that allows you to control your tv via the phone, in fact I liked the browser/guide a whole lot better than the verizon set top box guide. The marantz remote app didn't connect to my receiver, but they mentioned that the receiver would need a firmware upgrade, but I'll wait on that until i actually have the new phone as my iPhone works with it just fine now. So i think i'll probably take the plunge, I'm sure if i find out that I hate it down the road I could get an iPhone again. But I think I will enjoy it.

So far I am liking the phone, but absolutely HATE/DESPISE the desktop software to sync files with.
