Another T-Mobile "What Phone Should I Get" question

I'm now out of contract and I'm going to be getting an upgrade soon. My priorities, in this order, based on how I use my phone the most:

Camera quality
Battery life
CPU speed
Screen size
Weight

That is to say, weight and screen size are least important to me. I was leaning towards a GNex, but I'm starting to think twice about it. I can get an HTC One S for $249. Worth it? Or should I wait...

Now that I've had some experience with my G2 (HTC Desire Z) and it's quad-bandedness, I realize how absolutely convenient it is to have a quad-band phone. If possible, that would be something I'd be interested in as well.

    GNex is currently the only universal GSM phone.

    Galaxy Note can be hacked to be universal with a custom radio.

    The rest are AT&T+Global, or T-Mobile only. If you're cool with T-Mo only, the One S is a great phone.

    Ehh fuck it. If I go global again, I can always bust out my old G2.

    What bands are missing on the One S? It's got the essential 850 MHz, 900MHz, 1800MHz, and 1900MHz bands though there's no telling if you can get an unlock code. You're not talking about world UMTS/HSDPA are you?

    The T-Mobile One S uses the standard 1700/US2100MHz AWS. Different radio and CPU from the international version.
