pretty sure both Sprint and AT&T got the Note 2 around the same time as the Optimus G.

Something else. Nexus 5 is supposedly for October (like the past couple Nexii have been.) X Phone is purportedly a "Google influenced" Motorola phone, their first completely designed and made from the ground up since Google bought them. "Google influence" still seems to mean "skinned, but as light a skin as possible, and fast updates, but not as fast as Nexuses." The main feature seems to be extreme customizability.

no one knows what the x phone looks like, just a bunch of random ass mock ups. Only thing we know is apparently small bezels, will not be a BIG phone, and it will be able to be customized in some way. Will also run something very close to stock.

so that AT&T GS4 bootloader got hacked and the dev won't release the hack until the Verizon version launches since it would be a waste of an exploit if it was released then the Verizon version was patched before release.
no skin, it's been stated its stock android. (officially stated at some point i think) Amazingly someone heard our ideas... in a world of skins, stock android WOULD be a differentiation.
Rumor was stock but updates handled by Motorola, but maybe with the delay, it'll be a nexus

Thanks for that, just updated it now. MUCH better.

Official app works great for me. I got suckered into Tweetbot for iOS back when I had my iphone. What a waste of money. Did nothing the official one didn't do as far as basic use.

Of all the major apps that I can think of, it's pretty much just Facebook that persists. Heck it's only been 18 months since Ice Cream Sandwich introduced the action overflow. Can they make it 2 years?
I don't think Facebook is in a rush to use the Holo UI. They seem to like all of their apps looking the same.

I'm considering switching from WP to Android. How is the Outlook app on Android? Did they update it? Can I sync two Hotmail accounts to one inbox?
Twitter 's notifications still suck -- won't even show the full text. And the widget is useless. But at least I can't say the app is an embarrassment anymore.

Dunno about Outlook, but the stock mail app for the HTC One syncs two hotmail emails to the same inbox. I'm doing that right now.

I'm using the standard mail app for my Outlook account. It works fine.
Why do you want to switch?

you don't have to use the outlook app if you don't want to, just use whatever default email app.

Thanks.
So should I go with the HTC One or the S4? Maybe the Xperia ZL?

Go to a store and try them both out. They're too close a call to make that decision for you.

Will do. Is the One's battery life as bad as they say? I'm leaning towards that due to the gorgeous build.
As who says? I really hope you're not getting your info from one or two places only?

Actually every man and his dog are praising the battery life. The verge were the first to churn out a review and got it way wrong. Check out the other tons of reviews for a better analysis, specifically gsmarena as it compares all phones very well against each other.
Don't ever use the verge for anything related to battery. Tell your friends to stop using the phone stop much in places that have bad reception

Too bad it's still shit. The polish on the iOS app is so much better than the Android turd they pushed out, it's not even funny.
It honestly makes me want to use Facebook less than I already do.

Heh, that post chain reminded me of the usual slow animations on Android, with that random lag thrown in.
Is it any wonder? It's Java.
This wouldn't be a problem if Android was built from web technologies, like Chrome OS.
Symbolizes the random scrolling hitches of Chrome Beta.
