Well today I dropped my razr hd and smashed the screen pretty good. Instead of paying for a replacement and losing my unlocked bootloader, I am just gonna buy a new phone.

That being said...

I'm looking at the Note II, HTC One or maybe an LG G2.

My main needs of the phone are...

Calls/ Texts (obviously)
Music (solid headphone jack, good sound quality)
Root/ Unlocked Bootloader
Good Battery Life
and a Good Camera (at least better then Moto's)

Thanks for any input you can give

The Htc One (M8) is fully unlockable and a great phone. I'm still rocking my Htc DNA for the last year and a half. Still not ready to give it up yet. HTC has a great Dev following.

Some people say the M8's camera isn't that great, but I think it is better than my Razr's. I like my M8 and the dev support is awesome. If your phone is useable, wait and see what the new G3 and Moto are like. Also, they are releasing a slightly different M8 soon.

Sorry I meant to add in my op that I was buying used and I was hoping to spend somewhere around 250-350. I was talking about the HTC M7 for that reason.

Note 2's go for the top end of your pricing plus. The M7 I wouldn't bother with between the three. The G2 is a nice phone even on stock because it has a lot of customization options on its own. If camera is a big thing the note would probably be a better choice. The note is a much larger device.

Do you have any type of upgrade with your carrier ? I got my m8 for 7.99 a month when I transferred my upgrade from my unlimited line to my wife's line. Just a thought ...

Thanks but no I have Verizon and still have grandfathered unlimited data so changing plans / upgrading isn't an option.
