Mark you realize the Galaxy Nexus is technically a google phone on Samsung hardware, with a huge influence from Google about design, your argument on TouchWiz doesnt apply. On the other hand, if you have used the Galaxy S III like me you would know that Touchwiz 4 is quite awesome.
That aside, customisations do make OS upgrade slow, applies to HTC and Samsung, only Nexus devices are safe from that.

And I thank the skunks for the great feedback, looks like HTC has fans in here, we will go with it if that 15K diff isnt anything for him compared to the perceived prestige that comes with up the ladder.

I would avoid Samsung if I was this bloke. Their touchwiz interface is ugly, makes it clumsy and seriously degrades the experience in my opinion. HTC have always delivered quality.

And I agree with @wash if a fashion statement is the idea then the iPhone 4S is the way to go or chill for the iPhone 5.

Hehehe - through an iPhone5 (spanner) in the works! Personally, I
would suggest an HTC over a Samsung - The little Android experience I
have on a HTC is far more superior than a Samsung - I beg not to start
another debate on the same but it my humble opinion!
