Nice thing about having the Nexus 4 is at least I know I'll get it within a few days of it being launched.

took about a week for me to get the 4.3 update on my n4 whereas some people got it on the day it said it was released :/

Already running 4.3 on my HTC One.. I prefer the added value of a branded phone to the rather dull Nexus experience.

Updates arent that important now though. Google have separated Google Services from the OS, so OS updates are little more than refinements to the UI.

I got annoyed with the bloatware that would eventually slow the phone down overtime and I never used it so decided to go for the pure android experience

Never had that problem to be honest. Usage slows down Android because before 4.3 it didnt have TRIM. Now it does its irrelevant.

Each to their own, personally I like vanilla Android. My brother's got the HTC One which is a beautiful piece of hardware however I really disliked HTC Sense......and as it goes so did he so it's now running the 'Google Experience' rom! That said at least Sense isn't as bad as Touchwiz which I can't stand.

Tried the Google experience Rom but it was too plain for me. I hide a lot of sense because I use nova launcher, but the Google Rom misses out on the camera software, and without that software it's just a rubbish 4 mp camera.

I have the HTC One S and they are debating whether to bring any more updates out for it :-( so I think ice cream sandwich will be my lot.

To be honest from 4.0 upwards there isnt much difference. Google separated Google Services from the OS so all the core functionality of the Google apps no longer needs an OS update to be updated.

Besides there is alway XDA developers, they can get most phones updated.

I was going to look into getting my phone rooted, does anyone know what's involved and what if anything I will gain?
