Can someone help me pick a phone?

I'm currently rocking the Droid Incredible 2, but I know it's getting long in the tooth. It's a nice phone with great battery life, but it has no 4g and the camera is unimpressive so I'm looking for an upgrade. I'm hoping someone on here more knowledgeable than me can make a recommendation. This is what I'm looking for:

- 4" screen
- 4G
- Good battery life (12 hours +)
- Good quality camera
- Needs to be something I can buy of CL, the classifieds, etc... for ~$200

I don't care for the 4.3" screen as my thumb just can't reach that opposite corner. I am a HTC Fanboy, but I'm willing to try something else at this point. I've tried the Rezound (too big) and the Incredible 4G (can't hold on to it.) I've never broken a phone before, but I've dropped and broken the Incredible 4G twice. There's something about the form factor, the weight, the shape, whatever that I can't hold on to. Before someone suggests an otterbox, the last time I dropped it the middle of the screen landed squarely on the corner of a concrete block so not even an otter box is going to save me from that.

Edit: I've toyed with the idea of trying out Windows Phone as well. Not interested in the iPhone.
