Almost certain as long as they don't go changing the hardware.
either way, if people like the CM team can pretty much build a ROM from the ground up and you get ROMs like wanamlite pretty much immediately I'm sure one of these boffins will be able to do whatever's necessary to get the GE ROM out there.
To be honest I still tend to prefer CM as they add useful stuff that doesn't get in the way of anything.
That said, running wanam with various little tweaks I barely ever see touchwiz now plus I get a bunch of questionably interesting stuff like s health etc etc. I'm getting on with what is essentially a stock samsung rom better than I expected.

Is this beatable, it should suit all the people who want to buy outright and all those who want a cheap contract. That's plenty of allowance for me.
"I've offered you with O2 refresh with Samsung Galaxy S4 Black Mist on a 24 months contract with 600 minutes any network, unlimited text and 750MB of data for £12.00 per month. Your handset cost will be £10 per month. The original phone up front cost would be £399.99 but I can offer you the phone for £149.99."

How did you get this offer? So £390 for the phone?

I now have a tab in the left centre f my home screen, which hen I pull it out is like a quick launch. I don't want it - how to get rid?
Hold down the back capacitive button, you've just activated the multi screen feature.

When we getting the Marmite (or what ever it's called) ROM? I see it's available for the i9500.
you'll have to be more specific!
do you mean wanamlite? If so, its out and I'm using it?

No that's a price drop
I should've waited a little while longer!
@Nexus
I was reading somewhere that employees at HTC firmly believe that Sense is easily the best OEM skin and there's no need for HTC to release a ASOP version of the HO but Peter Chou has already approved it and that put a lot of people's noses out of joint and it was the final straw with Chou hence the mass exodus
Edit It seems that you already found what I'm talking about in the HO thread. Nothing gets past you Nexus
He's the CEO and has to make decisions and if employees don't like it then walk, which they have done. The HO is a very good product and Chou is quite right to stand by it.
Re the Custom ROM scene hence why you have resisted flashing a ROM on your HOS! It isn't as easy unfortunately to flash ROMs on HTC devices, a Mate of mine tried flashing a ROM on his HO and he's very well versed to flashing ROMs on his devices. His HO ended up in a bootloop and he spent most of the day trying to recover his device and he swore that it was more hassle than it was worth.
Samsung are superb when it comes to flashing ROMs their ODIN software is a god send and is much better than KIES in many respects. With triangle away and mobile odin apps that devs have produced the whole custom rom'ing of Galaxy devices is so easy even a dummy can do it
Remember that Samsung have a stream of revenue coming from all sorts of products including TVs, microwaves, cameras, etc etc so they can afford to splash the cash when it comes to advertising and not think twice about it.
I almost believed you and then....I read the last line and started laughing hard. That's exactly what Apple do
Sony's firmware is always coming soon, no matter what device it is, and quite frankly it's very embarrassing. They then drop their devices like a hot potato and no longer support them leaving poor consumers on their own. Not very nice and that would annoy me no end.
Hopefully soon Samsung will release updates to make the S4 more stable, they did the same with the S3 and they're very reliable when it comes to bringing out fixes for their phones. I can't stand the look of Touchwiz and I will not hesitate rooting my phone flashing a new ROM and theming it when the tools appear.
Still a very good phone though, I know how strongly both you and kona feel about SAMOLED tech and I'm beginning to subscribe to the same mindset.
I'm getting along so well with the S4 that I haven't felt the need to go back to my beloved N4

Root
If not,
Install Nova launcher
Go to manage apps - disable/uninstall all apps you won't use
set font to tiny
turn of multi-window in display settings
install swype keyboard
just a few pointers.
Stoosh - contact Amazon about the price drop, they should refund the difference.
Its on my desk now
I didn't ask where your phone is?!?! I asked how they came to give you this deal? Have you been with O2 already?
