4.7" screen? unless its >= my Galaxy Note screen, I cannot be interested.

comparing a phablet to a phone is like ... well, it doesn't make sense.

They're both large pocketable handheld phones, regardless of your phablet nomenclature. Comparing them is entirely sensible.

It hopes that new software features will help to make its new handset stand out. Bzzt. Thank you very much. I'm in the market for a new phone, you are not targeting me. Sense? No way. And no, 'Software' on top of Android is not going to make your phone nice to buy for this particular guy here. Searching on for a decent 'stock' device..

Searching for a good stock device? Don't write it off just for some bad customizations. If you're up to the task, find the best looking/specked phone for your price that has quality, active cyanogenmod support (all the hardware in the device works well w/ cm).

Saying this on hacker news feels a bit sacrilegious, but don't be afraid to get your hands dirty. The well supported phones have good wiki pages and rooting/flashing them isn't all that hard. But you will only have yourself to blame if it goes sideways.
