I need to replace my Galaxy S2 and I have not been thrilled with it over the past 2 years. It's been replaced 3 times under warranty and it still crashes about once a day.
I need to stick with the Android platform due to apps not available on other systems.
These 2 seem to be the top choices.
I also saw the HTC One Mini which I like due to the smaller size, but the rep for AT&T says it's not worth getting an older phone. Same for the Galaxy S4 active, rep says it's a slow processor.
I use the phone for GPS tracking on a bike so the water resistance of the 4 Active would be a nice feature. Other than that, I talk, text, FB, Strava, web surf and that's about it
Cost is not really an issue, I don't really care about photos, videos, speakers (My S2 is fine for this)
Another thought-- a big factor for me is a removable battery-- I keep a charged spare in my wallet. Do all of these meet that criteria?
The Galaxy's have removable batteries. I keep a charger in my backpack but I hardly use it.

When you connect your HTC phone to your Mac it will launch the HTC Sync Manager. You can handle files that way. Use iTunes however you use it and use Google Play Music to sync up to the cloud. Whatever you add to iTunes is automatically uploaded.
