I'd go HTC myself, cause they're good, but mostly cause it's the only brand of smartphone I've ever used. I know them well, and I like the way they work.
Plus, I'm not a big fan of change. I'm trying to avoid them pushing me onto Microsoft Office 365 at work (currently on 2010) because why fix what aint broke?

Glad I am not the only one who digs HTC's stuff, I have tried a few other brands of phone in the past but the HTC one was the first smartphone I had.

I feel like these software companies that are starting to use the pay per month pricing plans, such as microsoft and adobe (and many others) are mostly doing so because they don't have much to add to their programs anymore in a way that wouldn't drastically change the programs. Like, the differences between one version of Microsoft office to the next version are so unnecessary that they don't actually prompt people to pay for an upgrade, because it's unnecessary.
Same with Photoshop and the whole adobe suite really. Those programs are well put together, well established, and do everything they need to. CS5 worked well enough that upgrading to CS6 wasn't financially sound.
Hence, these pricing schemes are a new way to cash in on existing software that often gets pirated anyway, and which offer little value for upgrades.

So I got my HTC 10 finally yesterday, so far I have put 90~ gigs of music on it and have another 22~ free 
Have yet to really test it out much but I am digging it so far. Will take some pics today to test the camera and report back.
Some things are different layout wise then on my old HTC but I am already used to most of them. The charger is new and seems much better then the old ones.

I almost went with the S7 but I like htc and wanted to try their newest phone. Verizon is good service wise but they can be pretty expensive.

Yeah I will pretty much always stick with the galaxies, I love em and I like to root em an mod em but right now the s7 is too new there are not many mods for it right now to play with the cpu speed and gpu speed among other things. It can play any game on the market though right now at great framerates.
Android is awesome though compared to the apple os because it's essentially Linux and with a rooted android phone there is so much flexibility it's like a computer.

I have always wanted to try rooting a phone but my old HTC one did not have a root function from what I could tell. Maybe this one does.
That is one thing that sucks about having the newest phones, they are always the toughest to mod and crack But they can do the coolest things 
My new phone has more computing power then my computer

Homing pigeon ftw! i was just about to post that
Samsungs are reliable and durable past the s3, Iphones are great and solid if youre more of a mac person. Most big serious smartphones are great, HTC is ok too, but they are personally unappealing.

So I got the 64gb sd card I ordered off ebay the other day. Finally got around to filling it and realized it was a fake 
Thankfully it was only 17$ and I got the seller to give me a 14$ refund to be fair since it still was an 8gb card and they paid for shipping 
But I took the refund and bought a 30$ 128gb card from a better site which hopefully will work better. Phone is still working fine. Here's some pics I took:

Fairly certain I told you to pay the extra $10-20 to get a Sandisk.
To save you from issues like this. I did explicitly warn you that was a 95% chance of happening with a cheap SD card.
The $30 128GB one "from a better site"... what brand is it? If it's another no-name, chances are good it was made in the same factory you got the first one.
