Some reports I have read is that the HTC One is selling well now. Not quite GS4 sales but it is currently topping the charts in the US

!!!!! OMG!!
Samsung Galaxy S4 with stock Android is real: Nexus experience coming on June 26
The Samsung Galaxy S4 'developer edition' is real, folks! Google has just announced the Galaxy S4 with stock Android 4.2 Jelly Bean and none of that TouchWiz wizardry. Pure Android, just as so many people like it.
The Galaxy S4 with stock Android will land on the Google Play store on June 26th for an off contract price of $649.
The S4 with stock Android will support 4G LTE and you’d be able to use it on the U.S. GSM carriers like AT&T and T-Mobile. It will have 16GB of internal storage, come with a fully unlocked bootloader and you won’t need to wait for system updates from carriers. Freedom, a lot of us wished for it, and now we have it!

Samsung and Google have pretty much already destroyed hope for any other flagship coming this year with this announcement
Great times ahead me thinks

It says T Mobile and AT&T as it will support both their 4G LTE bands.
Check the text mate, it's Google who are behind this
, it means they must've asked Samsung to sell them some GS4s. What Google have done here is rely on a formula that works, The Galaxy S Brand, to sell stock Android and the whole Nexus Experience. Now the Galaxy S4 is both a niche device and a mass market one

International Samsung Galaxy S4 gets CyanogenMod 10.1 nightlies
The Samsung Galaxy S4 (I9500) international version – has received an early nightly build of CyanogenMod 10.1.
The version in question is based on pure Android 4.2 but the ROM, being a nightly, will likely have lots of bugs and may not be suitable for a daily driver.
The Snapdragon S4 has already seen some CM 10.1 love (nightly as well).

The phone hasn't even been out for a full month yet we've already got some decent ROMs and kernels for both I9500 and I9505.

You troll, you've already said 'some people here was saying', and again, you misquote. We ask knew the person behind CM himself was supporting it. But you only have to look at how long it took the exynos s3 to end up where it did to see that that's not really called support.
Also, the nexus s4 shows that Samsung know they fail with the software, my money's on a few Samsung execs realising they failed at decent software, and hated having tw, but had to use it, so just let the matter to Google. Does it have a 32 version?
Become some here say 16gb isn't enough.

Some people out there want the hardware (the great screen, excellent camera, great chipset, brilliant ergonomics , sensors etc...) without TW, probably for modding etc...
Away
I know YOU hate TouchWiz but please quit posting utter rubbish, this is clearly Google bringing a new Nexus device without having to spend a whole lot in development, if Samsung had felt that TW wasn't good they THEMSELVES would have gone the AOSP route full time, this stock GS4 is being sold as a Google Experiance device, open your eyes. TouchWiz is an excellent UI which me and at least 50million others enjoy using on a daily basis thanks to its high amount of functionality, and is part of what helps differentiate Samsungs from other Droids, and looking at the sales of each generation it has done that beautifully.
