Currently have a 4s and haven't been impressed with the leaks of the iPhone 6. So:
1) What's the best android phone and will I regret making the switch?
2) Can I transfer all my songs from iTunes to the android device?
Thanks

This is like asking people to pick your girlfriend for you.

What are you looking for? What do you like?

HTC M8 is a better android than the GS5 IMO. Just wait till the G3 and MotoX1 release, to make a decision out of these 4.

I don't know about "best," but I switched a few weeks ago from iPhone to the new HTC One, and I'm pleased. Do not miss the iPhone at all.

I doubt it is the "Best Android phone", but i would say it is the best deal. The moto x is pretty close. In fact if I would have caught the Motox on sale, I may have bought it instead of the Nexus 5. Motorola makes very durable hardware. I had the Droid X years ago and used to beat that phone to hell and it never cracked.

It's hard to beat the no contract deal as well with the N5 and Moto X. My wife prefers the Samsung UI so She can use my upgrade if she ever needs to. I also have a Galaxy S4 Active (work phone), but I much prefer my Nexus 5.

I think you will have to convert your songs from AAC to MP3. This can be done through iTunes from what I remember

Cyanogenmod oneplus one is the best phone in the market right, but good luck getting it.

Nexus 5 hands down will blow any current phone on the market out. Great build quality, no shitty skin, and fully unlocked/off contract out of the box.

I own one and agree with this. If the rumors are true, I can't wait to see what the silver line is going to look like

I love my HTC One (M7). I had a Galaxy S4 and it was ok. My wife has the LG G2 and it is the same as the S4. It's a great phone but meh. I am really a fan of HTC products now after being a Galaxy fan for a long time.

nexus 5 is ridiculously easy to root, gets the latest google software updates before any other phone on the market, is unlocked for all carriers and carries a price tag of $349 (and less on craigslist)

hard to argue there's a better phone..now there are definitely better ***SUBSIDIZED*** phones but i haven't been under a carrier contract since like 2002 so no-contract phones are my jam.

I really like the Nexus devices. They update all the time and are a good phone that are made by the top manufacturers.

I love my Nexus 10.

Not sure how the specs matchup against the new LG phone and Nexus, but the Note 3 works great for me, no issues at all.

Factoring in battery life, screen & overall function/smoothness I'd opt for the Motorola X, Motorola Droid/Droid Maxx or the LG G3. The current crop of Moto phones have some extremely cool technology. All of the phones mentioned are outstanding.
