Default New phone, help?

ok iI need some suggestions from people that actually know what they are talking about rather that reading some top 10 best blog on the web. I'm in the market for a New phone (Verizon) to replace my Droid Bionic. sound clarity is a must, fast processor dual or quad? big screen and rootable with decent Rom dev support.

Basically the phone is used for mainly business type apps, remote desktop, vpn etc. keeping up with my eBay bids bank balances on the go and just tinkering with the new roms and apps the devs entertained with. II do have aa couple of tablets (Asus Tf300t and aa galaxy tab 2 7") so the main priority for the phone is that it should work excellent as a phone. Clear, good signal reception, and good hands free operation (speaker phone, Bluetooth etc). aa large sd capacity also... iI know when iI got my last phone 16gg was almost standard but 32gg would be better

oh, also aa decent camera, I'm kinda a shutter-bug

so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, then iI can take your suggestions and do some in depth research and make an informed choice.

thank you for your time

ignore the errors, using Swype and it messes up a lot of words

With the criteria you are going for I would suggest a HTC one X or a SGSIII which I am currently using. Sorry if my suggestions are bad I'm new to this as well.

Default I agree

I have to agree with you on the Galaxy Nexus. Apart from all the features you've mentioned, its also a google designed and supported phone so it is supported and kept up by google meaning you have priority access to all new android OS releases

I have a galaxy Nexus and it's been a pretty dam good phone for the past 7 mouths. But since I loaded Jelly Bean 4.1.1 it's been a really great phone! Supper fast and smooth. So for the price I don't think you can beet it.

I was just able to get a GNex as a replacement for my Stratosphere. I saw this topic and its replies and it honestly made my day. Thanks guys. So yeah... go with the Nexus!

thank you everyone for your input, II have ordered the Gnex today ended up getting 2 of them for 99.00 ii have my mom on my acct an age has wanted aa smart phone for aa long time. ii have her an older moto droid xx and kept both new phones so ii can play around without worry. ii just flashed the droid back to base rom. if she really gets into it I'll get her aa better phone.

Although she is already complaining it's hard for her to read the tiny letters letters@72 the learning curve for her is going to be long I'm thinking. she has had the same Motorola flip phone for 4 years and just learned how to put it on speaker phone aa month ago lol.

any way.. thanks again for the help
oh as a side note ii also ordered aa Google nexus 7 tablet today for on the go android goodness as my transformer is just too big and bulky and it also has aa broken power button (stopped working after it got aa glass of water spoiled on it).
