Yeah, that's why I bought it. I upgraded from a Galaxy Nexus, so I was primarily looking for the hardware upgrade. It's WAY more "buttery", and they've done some nice things with KitKat. I'm rooted of course, but I'm even holding off on installing Cyanogenmod for now - there just aren't a ton of things I'm missing. [Reply]

I really wish Samsung would give an option for stock Android and TouchWiz. It's better now than it used to be, but I still like the functionality of Stock.
Haven't tried Cyanogen on this. Probably won't unless there are features for the stylus. [Reply]

Mine arrived yesterday. I won't have time to swap out to a micro-SIM until this weekend though, so I haven't even turned it on. It looks nice though. [Reply]
Also gives some interesting changes/updates. Unfortunately it also says it's going to be expensive as shit.
At this point it's pretty easy to read into the tea leaves for the iPhone because of the huge number of them that they've got to prep for launch. You'll see things start to leak out of the supply chain well in advance and we're already seeing that.
Based on the timing of things relative to last year's release an announcement and launch in late september/early october is what I would predict for this year too.
I've got an iPhone 4s with a broken lock button and a mute switch that mostly works some of the time so I'm watching this intently. I also have no hope whatsoever that they would put out a new phone around WWDC in June.
You'll probably see a major update to the Apple TV, maybe a new product category and maybe Retina class desktop displays in June. Early betas of the next version of OS X and iOS are a lock for WWDC. [Reply]
