if you really want to jump, get the GE version. S4 with tw is really hopeless

really? I doubt Google will bring in GE version, must be AP i think ohmy.gif

why hopeless hmm.gif any major problem?

don't forget to check the comparisons first though. most of the reviews suggest that GE version is less optimized? compared to S4 with TW.

One of the latest comparison : here
*
I think it will be less optimized as well when it first come out coz Samsung heavily focus on their software side unsure.gif

And google edition is not pure android as it seems though. more like a hybrid. nevertheless, if its available, people will still buy it. All hail marketing skills!!  notworthy.gif

win win situation, people want Google vanila feel then buy it. If me, I will probably buy LTE version and flash to AOSP ROM. Have best of both world thumbup.gif

that brings back to something that someone said during ***** few weeks ago. "Would you still use an OS that looks dated, unchanged from 2008 while all its competitors are updating their Os'es"

For myself, am using the LTE version and quite happy with the phone (until a better model crops out).  brows.gif
*
you using stock ROM? Too bad UM doesn't have LTE yet cry.gif couldn't utilize it

next I will jump ship to Maxis, they are expensive but super fasttttt

I'm moving from Ip4 to S4 on April but now feel unhappy when Samsung release better S4 within 2 months. latest S4 with latest CPU & GPU. S4 had 3 different CPU now.
*
Samsung is known to do that, thats why I don't buy Samsung when they first came out. Always wait few months first shakehead.gif

Lots are available. some are expensive and others are cheap. Personally i love sgipen neo hybrid and the basic transparrent jelly/hard case. go for OEM for cheaper pricing range or just stick for originals if price is not an issue. I'm sure most of the users here use one type of casing or another and if u can specify the case u are interested in, someone will give a short user review perhaps?  icon_idea.gif

yeah, prefer OEM now. Last time used to always buy branded case but easily got bored whistling.gif

for me.. nova is the best, smoothest launcher..
but right now, if u bought S4 LTE version, it will be special.
bcoz u can choose between fully TOUCHWIZ or fully GOOGLE EDITION.. flex.gif  flex.gif
i like sgp neo hybrid.. make the phone become more premium feel.
but, also like ultra slim casing.. really nice.. icon_idea.gif  icon_idea.gif

I hope stock ROM will release soon cry.gif

I have purchased Spigen SGP Neo Hybrid. Looks simple and nice.

I'm also  considering getting the SGP Armor View. Curious to try out the View function.

The view function looks cool but I hate flip case. Too troublesome lol
