just want to share about our wallet - coins.ph bitcoin wallet (also available for android phones https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=asia.coins.mobile)

Quoting from techinasia article: "The new [coins.ph] wallet allows customers to shop at online merchants who accept bitcoins, but the real emphasis is on sending cash to family and friends, paying bills, and instantly topping up prepaid phones." https://www.techinasia.com/coinsph-launches-bitcoin-wallet-tailored-emerging-markets/

Mycelium has a 6 digit PIN, so you're pretty safe even if you lose your phone. It also can create encrypted backups of your private keys, and upload them to cloud services, e-mail, etc.

Mycelium PINs do not offer a lot of security, see here for more details.

Some PIN schemes do offer decent security, for example GreenAddress PINs are quite secure (see here for more details).

For online wallets (which I wouldn't personally recommend for large amounts of BTC):

I have nothing against Blockchain, they have a very good reputation, but everyone should realize that their two factor authentication is just about useless for protecting against malware (but it can help against phishing).

Younger (but less proven) online services which offer per-transaction multifactor authentication such as GreenAddress.it and BitGo.com offer very good (not perfect) protection against malware. If malware is a concern to you (it probably should be), you might want to consider one of these for your online wallet needs....

Or just go with a desktop wallet - I like Electrum and Armory for their easy one-time paper backups (and MultiBit HD is also nearing release).

Blockchain for ordinary use.

Most of my coins are stored in offline wallet Armory.

The best one? Don't know... I prefer MultiBit and Electrum when I want to do custom transactions or sign transactions on an offline wallet. I also like the possibility of recovering the seed with the 12 words phrase.

Coinbase,i prefer online wallets,because physical wallets take long time to load.

You can use a thin client like Multibit or Electrum, so that you won't need to download the whole 20+ GB blockchain files.
Just download the latest version from the official site, and you can get your wallet ready within a minute or two.

I use blockchain.info, easier, faster access, and more secure for now, easier to use because it has a familiar GUI, safer because it has double protection, and can backup lost wallet, i recomend this wallet to be used ...  Cool
