Samsung Galaxy S4 Review (Verizon)

I recently obtained a Samsung Galaxy S4 on Verizon. Here's my ongoing review:

Pros

• Large Screen
• Bright Screen
• Long Battery Life, even while using intense apps
• OS root hack available allowing disabling/removal of junkware from Verizon and Samsung. This voids your warranty if discovered.
• Stays COOL (my Samsung Galaxy S2 would get super hot and battery longevity was poor).

Cons:

• Slow interface
• Window Animation is Slow
• Touch response is slow often resulting in double-touch errors
• Samsung (or Verizon) hid the DEVELOPER interface
• BLOATED with Verizon junkware apps (Same for Sprint)
• BLOATED with Samsung features that are too complicated to use (such as Allshare)
• BLOATED with Samsung junkware applications
• Full Root not available :(  however, system root is available.

The fact that Verizon locks these phones and stuffs them with Verizon junk and tracking software suggests to me that their intention is to 100% control your experience. What if I don't want to use the phone the way Samsung or Verizon wants? It's a long standing gripe,
