Yea this phone is pretty amazing. The 3000 mh battery is almost enough to be excited about. Not counting the other 50 things that are super badass about it.

Also I'm not too sure about LG's skin, I think I want either completely stock android (Google play edition/nexus) or as close to stock android as possible (like Motorola's new skin) for my next phone

The stays bar is pretty close to AOSP so you could just replace the home screen and lockscreen and it would be pretty close

I am fortunate enough to have the unlocked international S3, unlocked international One X, AT&T One X+ and the Optimus G (as well as a few others) and I am more than content to wait. Google Now is nice I just hope someone makes a toggle for it because it uses a lot of system resources..and battery

I wouldn't be jealous. I gave Touchwiz an honest try and just don't like it. A lot of what Samsung does is kind of redundant to everything Android already does. I wouldn't even want to use JB on this phone. This UI 3.0 really doesn't offer ANYTHING unique besides Quickmemo, which is something that can just be added on to an AOSP build.

While I can't say I disagree with what you say here about the UI... I would REALLY miss the dewdrop lockscreen on an AOSP build.
I really like AOSP, but I far from hate the latest Optimus UI... which I rarely say about manufacturer UIs.
To each their own though... I wonder how fast JB would be on this baby.
I'm assuming you wouldn't mind an AOSP JB build?
Hello,
I really like the Note 2, I've gone back to it two times already, once from a Iphone 5, and the 2nd from a Lumia 920. The lumia 920 was great for photos, but the windows UI was extremely boring. I hardly use the S-pen as well, I just like the big screen. But I do have a small wifi problem with my note 2 right now, in which a new replacement is coming in soon. Any Note 2 users out there planning to ditch and get the HTC One?

Over the past year I have carried every major new phone in AT&Ts lineup and this is the first one I have been truly excited about. I haven't been able to put it down. The Note 2 was significantly better than the Note, but can't hold up the jock strap of the One. Screen size is the only this the Note has going for it, the screen resolution on the One is ridiculous and more than makes up for the size.
Quality over size. And yes, that is what she said.

Speculation.... Could be brand free like the S4. Except the back
I like it. I like the Snapdragon 800, the speakers at the bottom and the headphone jack at the bottom. I think if someone would trade i may do it. But it not having a sdcard does suck. I have the 32GB s4 and a 32GB SDCard. It would be nice if it did and is the battery non removable? not a big deal if its not. I go all day with my s4 and still have 50% left. But i don't like the quickwindow cover I like the look of the s view cover a lot better and love using it. It is nice to see how much stuff the quickwindow cover does though.

Im getting it as soon as it comes out im putting my s4 on ebay using the money to pay off my g2 and have spare change left over haha
I could have sworn when the manual was leaked the other day it showed a SD slot?
Nah, I'm rooted with TWRP on MDK and the specs are perfectly what i wanted in a phone. 5" screen 1080p 2gb ram removable battery and SD slot. I was one that never had any lag on the phone even before root (i waited 4 days to root). I get normally 6+ hours of on screen time and once got just shy of 8 hours.
No need for more phone. i mean maybe in a year or so and even then this phone will be almost as good as what comes out then. Plus i don't like LG overall. Only this phone as a true nexus would be tempting.

No replaceable battery, no SD card, no way.
I'm tempted, but my guess is that I'll just end up disappointed that HTC capitulated to Big Red and locked up the boot loader. Other than the far superior design and build quality, neither of which matter to me as much as performance does, I'm thinking there's not much of an advantage to switching over

I'm just curious....How do you guys switch phones? Do you guys sell the S4 for close to retail price (600-700) and then buy a different phone at retail price? I am just curious as to how hard it is to switch phones without losing a bunch of money.
I will be staying on my S4 most likely...even just stock I think the phone works great, but I thought I would ask how you guys do it.

I'm not a fan of on screen buttons either. I see them as wasted space. I actually used GMD Gesture Control on my GNex and set custom gestures from the right and left sides of the screen. You could also root and flash a ROM with Pie Controls.
I'm not sure if AOKP still has it, but the nav bar widgets and customizations would probably be the only reason I'd have a nav bar.

I'd like to have the HTC One for its FM Radio. But to take the place of the S4. Nope! The S4 battery is tiny (for LTE at least). The One has a 2300mAh battery. Not enough for a full day. Plus non removable.
The only phone I would (and am buying) with a non removable battery is the Motorola Droid Maxx (new one) 3500mAh for non removable is great. 2300 in the One is horrible. Plus don't get me started on the 4MP camera. Might be great for low light. But resolution and clarity. Nope.

Yeah I saw it last night on Comedy Central. I think they're pushing the whole index finger back button thing too hard though. I actually like the buttons, but the ad campaign feels gimicky. I guess their hand was forced by Samsung and people losing their **** over holding their finger over the screen and waving away home screens. I guess that's what gets the masses excited though so what can you do. It gets under my skin a bit though.

I'm not sure about you guys, but I feel like the majority of commercials have been aired during NFL network time (ABC, CBS, Etc..) slots.

But who knows, maybe I only see the commercials during NFL games because that's about all I watch on Television right now.
