Most likely. Which is why I'm still leaning towards the S4 but I'm waiting for the review to come out.Isn't there widgets that duplicate this almost exactly

I might get into rooting when I upgrade, right now it's not really worth it with my 3VO. The people who do that though are a minority so I'm not surprised they go through the trouble to add that section into their reviews.Yeah I hear you. I appreciate reviews but I they don't take into account what devices are like after being rom'd. But great for hardware views

If I could have TouchWiz with the flip clock Sense has had up until Sense 5.0 I'd be happy.
The review said they got rid of it. Maybe flip clock was the wrong way to put it.Sense 5 still has the flip clock. Im using it right now on sense 5

Yeah, the old one is what i meant. Even before I got my phone I liked the look of it.Unless the dev that made this rom put it in seperately, it is still here. The "new" sense clock isnt so bad, i prefer the old one though.

HTC fanboys, LG, fanboys, Apple fanboys UNITE, We must bring down the GREAT EVIL, SAMSUNGAH HA!!!.......he revealed his handicap!! lol! j/k man......all in good fun
I disagree there. I found the S4 disappointing, when it could have easily met or exceeded my expectations.
1. Build materials and quality. Having used the Xperia Z and HTC One, they absolutely blow the S3 out of the water, and will blow the S4 out of the water. There is no reason why Samsung couldn't have gone with a premium material for the phone build. Sony and HTC seemed to have put in the effort to make an excellently designed/manufactured device, Samsung just rehashed their materials/design. People will want to say it's because of the removable back - there are phones that are made of metal and have removable backs, hell Samsung made one (Wave), so that excuse is out the door. Having owned an S3 and removing the back a few times, I started noticing cracks on the plastic which is not comforting at all.
Samsung have more money than Sony and HTC put together. Absolutely no excuse why they couldn't have made a premium feeling phone.
2. Screen. I know AMOLED is their thing and the colours are highly saturated, but I personally prefer the LCD3 screen in the One and even the LCD in the Sony screen. Given that LCD screens have more accurately calibrated colours, better battery life while web browsing, can get much brighter (which greatly helps sunlight visibility, especially in Australia) and less prone to burn in - I would have preferred a great LCD display over AMOLED.
3. Legacy button layout. The physical home button and 2 capacitive buttons were fine and dandy with the Galaxy S and S2, but now times have changed and I think Samsung should really focus on pushing tech forward with adopting the stock on-screen button layout of Android now.
4. Performance. I have concerns about the performance of the phone. Android Central had a hands on, which showed laggy screen swiping, GSM arena had laggy screen swiping and Gizmodo's impressions said that the HTC One was faster than the Galaxy S4 in every context. Could be due to early software/hardware, but that doesn't sound good at all for a high-end Android phone.
5. Samsung's direction. Watching the abysmal S4 presentation, I feel like Samsung is more focused on a phone store experience rather than a real-world phone experience. The phone is packed to the gills with gimmicks and it seems more designed for a customer to be wowed by all these 'features' at a phone store then them actually being used outside of one. It seems they're only focused on that initial wow factor to grab the sale. I had the S3 and things like tap-to-top and smart stay didn't even work properly for me, let alone be of any use.
These are just my opinions, and I know not everyone will share them, but they are the biggest issues I had with the S4. As such, I'm not interested in getting one as competitors have more attractive products to me.
On a side note, I find it hilarious that Samsung had commercials mocking Apple for using the same design with the iPhone 4S "If it looks the same, how will anyone know I upgraded?", when Samsung have essentially done exactly that:

Super LCD 3 is sub par maybe i need to have my eyes checked,i find this statement sub par.I have nothing against the s4, it will probably be feature packed like we all have come to know and love.
The pros of this phone are the screen and the battery. The screen is a super AMOLED, I love this kind of screen the colors are brilliant. It also works really well in day light, this is a place others are sub-par. It will also be a full HD screen. The battery is 500mah bigger which isn't much but may add or an extra hours of video playback for long flights, or about 10 minutes of TDKR that gave eats battery like hot cakes. Here is my blog on it High-End Android: Samsung Galaxy s4 : Best Software, Few Things New in Hardware
The thing I hate most about it is OCTA. They try to pass it on as an 8 core prossesor, but it is really just a quad core with for real cores and four crappy battery savign cores. I really hate the GPU also, it is only slightly better than the Ipad 3 GPU. With tegra four and snapdragon 800 this thing will be left in the dust within four months of release. I have a page on my blog dedicated to just these four proccessors High-End Android: Exynos Octa VS Snapdragon 800 VS Tegra 4 GPU's

It boggles my mind how many ppl are comparing Samsung to Apple. Show me ONE EXAMPLE of Samsung trying to limit your storage, dictate what programs you can use, hinder your connectivity options or limit your buying choices in ANY WAY....O
