Well technically only the Nexus 5 has Android 4.4 right now. So no theirs nothing official for any carrier yet.

Insertcoin 6.0.5 has sprint support and has some of the kitkat features included but it's still just android 4.3

you right about the moto x though

Here’s a sentence I never thought I would write outside of making a bad joke — Verizon Wireless is getting the Android 4.4 update to the Moto X before anything else, including Google’s own Nexus 4.
In the world of Android updates, there are a few things you can count on. Nexus devices go first, manufacturers with the most popular phones go next, and Verizon and Sprint usually fight it out for last place. Today marks the first time that basically none of those sentences are true. Motorola has proven their dedication to the Moto X, a phone that has been recently panned for not selling particularly well, by releasing the update to Android 4.4 (KitKat) starting with the Verizon Wireless model.

The google play edition of the one has its forthcoming update at google now,so should be rolling out soon. Not sure if there is a GPE Rom for sprint,but there is potential to port that once the update happens.

A couple weeks ago the timetable was:
-GPE in 15 days
-developer and international WWE in 30 days
-branded carrier variants in 60
 
so.. the google edition phones have their updates rolling out allready.. wondering.. for the laymans.. is the google edition phone.. basically a rooted version of my phone?
 
the developer edition has gotten its 4.4 update as well,wich does use the sense 5.5 ui,if thats what you prefer.

carrier variants should be soon. :)
 
im just not sure if i want to go with the HTC Sense 4.4, or do the true google version. eliminate Sense UI.. still on the fence..
 
HAHAH.. im not rooted.. thought about it.. and just havent.. because the updates have been coming quick on the phone.. so.. who knows..

Without root your stuck with whatever os you have :eek: I personally would at least s off now,while you are able. If you stay stock otherwise otas are not affected,and you never know when the exploits used will be patched. Just my 2 cents :)
