I have the choice of these 4 phones. Which would you choose

1. Iphone 4 (not the 4S)
2. Samsung Galaxy S2
3. Samsung Galaxy Nexus
4. HTC One V

These are the ones my company says to pick from.

Which would you choose. So far I am leaning to the Samsung Galaxy S2. If you would choose different - why?

Thanks in advance

iPhone !!!!! Primary reason, consumer friendly, size of screen, size of individual keys on key board, great "apple care tech support". But I would pay the difference and get the 4S model. "The Siri" application is a great help and makes the iPhone real consumer friendly.

Galaxy Nexus or HTC One V
I have a Galaxy Nexus, and it's a great phone but this would be a tough call. I'll explain.

The Nexus phones always have a great edge because they get the Android OS updates direct from Google, first and promptly. Non-Nexus phones, the carriers and manufacturers slow down the process of updates. And newer software will slightly trump older hardware.

But the HTC One is just out and has IIRC, a quad core processor, so is very advanced hardware-wise, and reviews are excellent. Either would be a good choice.

Galaxy SII is a great phone, but older technology than Nexus and HTC One (SIII is about to be released in Europe), and is 3G only, no 4G. So I would go with either the Nexus or HTC One for newer tech and much faster web connection.

iphone: tiny screen not befitting a smartphone (a handheld computer that happens to make phone calls), and all iphones are still on laggy 3G. Go with the more advanced 4G Android phones. Android phones have widgets, iphone doesn't, google it -- it's a feature I wouldn't want to be without. Android fones also have superior Google Maps and Navigation, all free, which is most amazing and gets updates and improvements almost every month.

Enjoy!

I vote iPhone. It's a Mac that fits in your pocket. The kids have iPhone 4S phones, the DW and I have 3GS models. Siri isn't a big deal for me, there is an app called Evi that does much the same thing. I might upgrade eventually, but right now I'm off contract and I will wait for a deal.

Without question, buy the Iphone 4s. Its just a superior product compared to others.

either of the galaxy phones because of the larger screens,any of your choices will do what you need but it is so much nicer doing it on a bigger screen,my current phone has a 5.3" screen and I could never go back to anything smaller.

IPhone 4 is my vote. I'm a techy novice, but I LOVE MY IPHONE! I have no use for Siri so therefore I'm happy with IP 4. Extremely user friendly.
