I think the kitkat thing is stupid. The dessert names (and code names in general) have always been a quirky developer thing. It was something light-hearted not to be taken seriously. Now it’s a fucking advertisement? That’s just stupid. That just goes to show that google will monetize literally anything they can. ---

I cant help but assume this is going to be nothing more than just a small update like 4.3 ---

yeah i doubt there will be much change. everything cool is being pulled out of core android and pushed to the play store for fragmentation avoidance anyway. ---

$100 obo? The back cover doesn’t securely clip on the bottom but it stays on. Other than that It’s been in a case (Otterbox Defender) and had a screen protector on it the entire life of the phone. A new back cover on ebay is like $5. ---
