I love what I've seen from the Note 4 and would recommend that.

Tmobile GS3 hasn't and probably will never get 4.4.
4.4 was released about a year ago.
You pay a premium for a device, yet they don't treat it like a premium device.
The best phones are the ones where google controls the updates (or cyanogenmod) and the manufacturer/carrier has little control over it. I would recommend Moto, but they gave me hell over the motorola photon update fiasco so I'm not giving them my money.

To those that think fragmentation isn't alive, get real. I love android, but fragmentation pisses a lot of people off. The only reason people don't make a big deal about it is because they just buy a new phone every year. The updates I did receive on many of the carrier-bloated devices are subpar. Some updates actually cause more problems than they actually fix. my sprint galaxy nexus never got 4.3, and Sprint released a very **** poor implementation of the update preceding of the update prior.
Part of the reason why I even switched from sprint to tmobile was to get away from carrier bloated locked down bricks and move towards unlocked devices.
