So I need a new phone because my previous one broke to hell. Here's what it needs to have:

- Battery that lasts 8-10 hours on idle
- Android 4.0 (Ice cream sandwich)
- No contract/ compatible with AT&T
- 4+ inch screen
- No keyboard
- Has reasonable case options

Price isn't really an issue, so shoot me with a couple of ideas (Currently considering Nexus Prime). Also, I can't really wait to purchase a new phone, so no recommending things that are coming in the future.

I've heard good things about the HTC One X.

Personally, I've had a One X and it was very nice. I currently use a Galaxy S III and I do think you will like the S III with it's quad core :) On idle it will save up all battery as long as Wifi maxpower and Mobile network isn't turned on. Not to mention the quad core DESTROYS everything.

The One X didn't have SD card slots, but it comes with a lot of memory if you want to consider that as the alternative. However if you are buying your One X locally and not internationally, chances are it will not be quad.

I would recommend the Razr Maxx but it doesn't have Ice Cream Sandwich on it yet. Apparently they're getting ready to push the update for it though, so that may change. The Maxx has wonderful battery life too, check it out :)

EDIT: eww AT&T! I'm not sure if it can be used on that network or not.. check it out if you can though D; Sorry I don't know for sure.

Thanks for the advice guys. I know what i'm getting myself for my birthday. Was going to get the said phone sooner, but we recovered my old phone via heavy rice treatment.
