If you want a mobile wallet (iOS / Android), I'd recommend Airbitz. I'm a little biased since I co-founded the company, but I really think we've put privacy, ease of use, and ease of security front and center.

Create an account in the app with just username & password. No email or phone number needed. No printing PDFs or writing down passphrases
Login to account with any number of mobile devices using same username & password
Account is fully encrypted client-side, using user's credentials, and backed up to peer-to-peer servers
Wallet accesses decentralized Libbitcoin/Obelisk servers to send/recv transactions
No unencrypted user info, keys, or even public addresses are stored on our servers.
Tag your transactions with rich metadata (Payee, Category, Notes)
Built in merchant directory for 16 countries with 3500+ listings

Hope you enjoy it.

If you don't want to try to download many gigabyte of data, create an address in: www.blockchain.info and put some safe control to keep in safe your bitcoin !

BitCoin Armory is one of the most secure wallet managers out there.

Agreed! Armory is the most secure but for a newbie i would not recommend it took me a while to understand it lota options.
Either use blockchain but if you wanna use the offline once use multibit, bitcoin core is good too but can't download the whole blockchain.

Blockchain.info is the most common so you can use it. That way you can ask other users about it.

You can try electrum.
The advantage being you can recover your wallet from a seed.

To be honest I love having my bitcoins with me. My experience with Mycelium has been stellar. It's smooth and light.

If you have just a little bitcoin, you can use blockchain.info with 2FA enabled. Or you can download Multibit or Electrum.
If you have a considerable amount, put most of them on an offline wallet or a paper wallet, and put a small amount of bitcoin on blockchain.info or Multibit or Electrum for your daily consumption.

it depends on what you want it for
I would use Multibit for safe transactions and an online wallet if you are going to manage low quantities of bitcoin

et rich or die tryi

Blockchain.info is super convenient
Armoury is secure
Bitcoin core is the reference for all wallets
Electrum is less secure than core but is a desktop thin wallet.

~~snip snip~~

i suggest Blockchain.info for online wallet and small amounts for spending and day to day use. because it is easy and also the most popular online wallet and it has been around since 2011 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockchain.info)

for desktop wallet both multibit and electrum are good. and both take up around 25 MB for blockchain headers only i think.
the only difference I found so far is that in multibit you can not change the transaction fee

Multibit doesn't offer an option to change fee but you can do it. Refer to this thread: Multibit: a way to reduce transaction fee

~~MZ~~

i actually search for this a couple of days back but i couldn't find it. and i gave it up since i saw a quote from developer who said on github that zero fees will make frustration for "regular users" and too many support calls for me!

I have just started using green address and it seems like a good wallet so far, i also use blockchain, both with 2fa, i will be looking in some sort of cold storage soon for larger amounts.
You could always use circle or coinbase but there more like a bank and that's not what bitcoin is really about, still good for people not so tech savy i think, there is a need for them.

You don't want to use zero fee tx, you can use <0.0001BTC like 0.00005BTC or 0.00001BTC.

But it is better to stick with 0.0001BTC Roll Eyes

If you think you know me.. Think again

I would go for a web wallet, just because it is so convenient and easy to function with.

Desktop wallets are risky and often require a lot of thinking to operate well and safely.
