What Verizon Phone Should I Get?

[grich96]

I dont want to waste $200 so I am looking for some advice on a new Verizon phone. Some of the phones I am looking at and the concerns I have:
Iphone 5- worried about battery life, small screen, new iphone coming out, price, no sd slot, and cpu.
S3- the s4 will come out in 3 weeks
S4- expensive, doesnt come out for 3 more weeks, battery, audio quality
Note 2- not quite as powerful as s4, audio quality.
Htc One- Will it even come to Verizon

If I was going to buy one today, it would be the Note 2 because Amazon has it for $150. Which one should I get?

My wife has a Note (the first version) and she loves it. It is large and takes some getting used to, but once you become accustomed to it, it is a very nice device.

I believe they are giving away the Pantech Marauder right now. Its not bad, for an android.
