Hi! I currently have an iPhone 4S but am thinking of jumping ship and moving to Android. I am sick of the small screen and boring stock iOS. Having said that, I am tossing up between the new HTC One X and the Galaxy Nexus. My main question is......is the OS upgradable on both? I am leaning towards the HTC but I have sen so many people here say that they prefer the Nexus and that it gets upgrades more often. Which way do I go?

HTC or Nexus?

The One X and the Nexus are using the latest Android OS, and yes they would be upgradeable. The Nexus would get updates faster though because the updates would come from Google itself, while the One X updates would have to pass through HTC labs from Google before getting it to the phone.
The One X does have more powerful hardware though. Also, the fact that you are coming from iOS may lead to frustrations in using the Nexus. Its going to be barebones, and missing a lot of inbuilt functionality found in branded phones like HTC and Samsung, making you need to download an app for some simple needs.
