so majority of the new feats(dialer app, transparent notifcation bar, launcher) of KitKat is exclusive to the nexus 5?
Half of it is meh. I want the old dialer and to remove the transparencies myself. Not to mention Chrome is ass and now its shoved onto phones and totally breaks text reflow.
That G pad looks tempting...but I need a new laptop as well...plus some SSD drives

So I'm trying to use swiftkey and the cursor keeps jumping around while trying to post on the coli or other forums. Its happening in Dolphin browser if that matters. Any help? So far the samsung keyboard seems to be the best.

I'm running 4.3 and I have the Google Experience launcher. After the last Search update, you could side load the launcher and it would work fine on 4.3 and up I believe. I've seen people with CM11(4.4) with transparent notification bars as well.so majority of the new feats(dialer app, transparent notifcation bar, launcher) of KitKat is exclusive to the nexus 5?
Off-contract Moto G might be coming to Verizon for $100
By Rich McCormickon December 30, 2013 09:00 pm
Motorola's Moto G smartphone might soon be available to Verizon customers for as low as $100 — without a contract. Google+ user Josue Joseph, who claims to work at Best Buy Mobile, posted a picture of the Android phone in Verizon retail packaging. Joseph later commenting that it "looks like it's going for $100."
The Verizon-branded packaging suggests the phone will be sold without an annual contract, but Josue claims users will still need to choose one of Verizon's data plans, as the phone "will not work with anything else." Those plans, the packaging implies, will include unlimited talk and text options.
The Moto G currently retails for $179 in the US and, even at that price, had a lot to recommend it against its peers. There's no word yet on a street date for the $100 Verizon version, but if the leaked information turns out to be accurate, it would further solidify the Moto G's position as one of the very best budget smartphones available.

Here's an update:
UPDATE: Some new images have surfaced that reveal more details on the Verizon Moto G's pricing and availability. First up, the folks at Android Police have shared a photo that shows the unit on the shelf at a Best Buy, complete with a price tag of $99.99. It's worth noting that, because Verizon will be selling the Moto G with its prepaid service, that's its no contract price.
The second image comes to us from Droid-Life. It mentions that the Verizon-flavored Moto G has a "hard street date" of Jan. 9, meaning that the device may be just a little over a week away from launch. While unconfirmed for now, that'd certainly fit within the Q1 2014 launch window that Verizon has given for its Moto G variant.

I am on a Verizon contract now, would I be able to buy this phone and just use my existing service with it?
Is it better than a S3?
It's happening to me too. I use Chrome and swiftkey, and the only time it happens on the coli.

Been using Chrome today and it happens a lot less than on Dolphin.
I would be pissed if I actually paid for ir this thing. I like the predicting text sh1t, but the the jumping cursor is really starting to piss me off.
I also wish the keys on the e keyboard were spaced out like the stock Samsung keyboard. Its a lik space between each key. And tge top numbers row. Swiftkey needs to get their sh1t together. The AIis cool, but its still spose to be a fukking keyboard
i hate to say it but chrome browser at least on mobile has become shytty for me , every time i click on thread i get a 5 second black screen delay , anybody else experiencing this?
