Design is irrelevant if OEMs vomit their bullshit all over it on all the devices that are actually interesting. (Yes, I tried rooting. Yes, it was a horrific warranty-removing potentially bricking experience. Even Jailbreaking feels saver.)
It looks super-awesome, though. I want it on interesting devices. I won’t be able to get it, though.
