I'm going to start nagging also. :^{)
I am also waiting for a smaller tech-friendly (battery and SD slot and rooted) phone with no GAPPs, this comes closer but misses several points. GAPPs are hard to remove once installed because they are interlocked, no doubt on purpose.
Meanwhile I'll keep my original Incredible, which runs up to 4.4 depending on what I want to do on a given day.
