I would like to try this phone but I'm afraid to drop real money on a phone of this size in case it is just too big for me. But this sure would be a fine follow up to my Nexus 4.
It is a game changer - high end for the same price as low end. It has introduced a new standard for what to expect for $250-350 and CM11S is really interesting. It would be a perfect complement to my collection.
I want this phone mainly for its Cyanogenmod connections. I've been a huge fan for ages and I love that they are getting to play in the big leagues. Having that CM tramp stamp would be the best. Also, my current GNex is not so good.
I would like this phone as I am a recent Android convert Linux geek who loves tweaking the crap out of my phone. Unfortunately my Samsung is bootloader locked so the options are limited. Plus if I get this phone I will give my Samsung to my wife and get her away from that iCrapPhone thing she has.
