Took them a while to get certain phones in the past. I haven’t monitored them during the launch of SG4 and HTC DNA (I think that’s the One, just Verizon’s version). Maybe they’ve gotten better. I do constantly hear about their bloatware and such but I guess every carrier has that issue.

That’s why I’m looking for the unlocked HTC One or HTC One Max (Google Editions). I’m done with carriers calling the update shots and the manufacturer skins, carrier bloatware.

I want a CLEAN Android device and that’s it.

I might look into these ‘other’ companies like Straight Talk, etc. once I get an unlocked phone.
