Which phone, which phone?

I'm currently on an Optimus V, and don't get me wrong, I love this little phone and the community that comes along with it.
However, I could use a phone with:
-A bigger, HD screen
-A Faster processor
-More RAM
-More internal storage
-More future-proof
I would also like to have it as cheap as possible, and I would be buying it off-contract to use on T-Mobile's monthly4G $30 a month plan, so I'd also need it to be:
-Compatible with T-Mobile's 3G network
-As cheap as possible
I just can't decide which phone would be best, honestly. There's so many good ones, such as the Galaxy Nexus, the Galaxy S3, the HTC One S, and the newly announced Galaxy Note 2 and HTC One X+...
ahhhh.
Any and all suggestions/opinions are appreciated and welcomed!
Also, I'm interested to know your current phone setup, and why it works for you.
Know that with your comments, you'd be helping a guy in need.
Thanks!

Uh, cheap means slow processor, smaller screen, less future proof. You can't go cheap and high end. @_@

Yep, you get what you pay for, Encerspay.

But you might want to go look around – today! – if there are still Samsung Galaxy Notes (the Note 1) left for sale. Since the Note 2 will be shipped next week I guess not many people are still buying Note 1s. So maybe you can make a deal on one. If you can still find one.
 
The Nexus 4 (which is what theyre calling the next Nexus phone LG is putting out) will launch at $399 and will be an absolute beast for that price unlocked and off contract. A T-Mobile off contract GS3 or an international GS3 will cost you some dough, even used I don't think you'll beat the Nexus 4's price. If you want something even cheaper, the Galaxy Nexus is $350, and will likely come down after the Nexus 4 launches ($300, I'm guessing). The camera sucks, but as a whole it still holds up. With updates coming straight from Google, there's nothing more future proof than a Nexus device.

I say wait until the Nexus 4 launches, then decide from there.
 
Haha, the moving's fine. I'm not trying to get a high-end phone for way cheap, I'm just trying to find the closest compromise that I can find.
The new Nexus and the S3 seem to be the best choices, so far.
