I feel you, I believe with the HTC you could actual switch your phone to the GPe so it wouldn't need root or anything afterwards and would receive OTA updates, and your phone would act as if you brought the GPe versions.

Was not aware of that. I was looking at the s4 at the time.
What so you think the chances are of these ever being "officially" released here?... Or is this something which just isn't ever going to happen?
I think it will. Possibly when they stop the Nexus range.
