i think htc is a good brand so now i have an htc smartphone i am satisfied about features,hardware but also price because in amny cases buying iphone you spend too much in relation to features that iphone really gives you so in many cases buying an htc or other smartphone you do all or even more you can make with iphone but you pay less so...

I think the one that you can afford and would thoroughly use is the best phone for you. I find it impractical for people to buy phones just because they look good and can do a lot of things with it, then after a while they don't use those apps at all. They're just there for games and for fun but haven't really made their work or their lives easier.
I have an iPhone and it has made my life easier and I have made use of it to the fullest. Let me discuss the things I do with it, that's why I deserved to have this phone:
1. I am handling the customer service (via calls and text) of my father's company. Though we don't get a lot of complaints and such, we do have a lot of inquiries. So, I usually would have a template of those important information in my phone so that whenever someone texts me about them, I could easily copy-paste. Yes, you could easily do this with other phones but I think iPhone does it better because you just need to tap it to copy and no need to drag.
2. I keep track of my finances and there is a good finance app in iPhone where they give statistical reports on my funds in several banks and institutions. They readily link these accounts to my bank so I could see in real-time what the transactions were.
3. I teach part time at our University with Finance subjects where I need both a Scientific Calculator and a Financial Calculator. If you buy both these things, it is very expensive, but with the iPhone App, you can buy them at a fraction of a cost and there's even a free version of it. Not to mention that I would only bring the iPhone compared to several other gadgets.
4. I do presentations and instead of printing out the guide or copy, I merely send it via email or save it in my phone so I could scan while I present without hassle and being good to the environment - paperless.
5. I need to regularly check emails because some clients do email and since I have several email addresses (with different purposes) the email app helps me organize them.
6. My partner is in another country working and long-distance calls and sms are too expensive to be done everyday. So we opt for internet-based apps that help us be in contact easily and with no cost at all.
7. For my health, I need to monitor my glucose, menstrual cycle and stuff and need to record them for the doctor. The iPhone helps me gather these data because there are apps for each specific need and I think they're great at it because they give me stats and alerts.
8. Yes, the games. The games are there to help me sleep and do help for whenever I get bored.
9. There are many times that I need to scan things and send it to someone and I find scanning through iPhone an ease (though not always perfect but would always suffice to the need).
10. Information, passwords, and combinations. I don't remember all of them always and there's a feature there that helps you remember them but is safeguarded with a pin. It helps remind me my passport number, tax number, social security, etc.
I know that there are a lot of people who think that these things could be done by other phones as well. But I have done all of these with my iPhone and I don't have troubles with it. I think people need to truly know first and foremost, their purpose of buying the phone.
I have friends who have better models or phone than I. But there don't use it for practicality's sake. They don't even know they phones have features nor they care to know about it. This is the worst reason to buy something of an investment (well at least for the country I am in). Which is why I make sure that no money is wasted - if the thing cannot help your life or work become better. Then don't buy it.
Have a great MyLot experience ahead!
