Anandtech has something up also:

AnandTech | HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S 4 Google Play edition Review - Nearly Nexus

On a side note, I'll be waiting for the Nexus 5 (or whatever Goog decides to call it).

Ordered mine a couple days ago. Play store says it should ship by July 9. Will be used on TMo's 100 minutes, unlimited texts, unlimited data (with first 5 gigs on 4G) prepaid plan for $30 monthly.

Sprint users gets no love with the Google addition phones much less the Nexus phones. Why Sprint why.?

None of the CDMA carriers got any love (Verizon, Sprint, US Cellular, etc). The very nature of CDMA runs counter to Google's vision of a completely open and unlocked device environment. Google tried that route with the Galaxy Nexus on both Verizon and Sprint and got burned big time between os updates and Verizon blocking Google Wallet. Until they open up their networks, don't expect Google to give them much love with their Nexus project or Google Edition phones.

Well once everything goes over LTE, which could be in a few years, Verizon won't have a choice because of the conditions that they acquired their spectrum supposedly must be left open in that way.

When you go to play store on your phone where is the option to buy a google edition. I see it when I go on computer but not in phone version of play store?

Device purchase/viewing options in the GOOGLE PLAY STORE are only available on the desktop view only.
