Are there any root options that might work yet?
no
I'm waiting for a S4 root too. Since most people did not pay the extra $14.99 for overnight like we did, everyone else will get the S4 Wednesday or Thursday. That means developers can't develop Root methods till Friday at the earliest (took 1-2 days for HTC One on Sprint to have root after release day).
@djrbliss stated on Twiiter that he successfully booted a custom recovery and to look for a release soon.

"VZW S4's are not seen in the wild yet, but I fully expect those to be locked as well, and incompatible with this root before a bootloader unlock."

Some have reported success on Sprint S4's, though I still advise against using it and waiting for a Sprint specific version.
And seeing that it's supposed to be the same root block used in the newer sprint OTAs..

Verizon allowed most people to get their S4's on Wednesday as a kind gesture. I wanted the phone sooner, so I paid the fee for priority overnight. It was worth it, as I got the phone on Tuesday. I love this phone!

I got it on Tuesday morning too. No overnight or 2 day shipping, just standard.
I guess I'm one of the lucky few. *shrug* not that it matters since there wasn't even root for it yesterday.

I want to debloat and have ability to run custom ROMs. Im on stock unrooted ME7. I have offers to sell my S4 for almost $600 (then I'd buy dev edition) or I could straight up trade for a Note 2 or I could keep my S4 and wait to see if we can get root and/or bootloader unlock.
What would you do?

Isn't the bootloader for newer Galaxy phones from AT&T locked? Unless someone finds an exploit then it's impossible to root. Good luck
Count me in for $20 as well. (I hope this will work for the i9205 as well as the AT&T version).

The i9205 does not have a locked bootloader, but it does not work on US LTE bands.
Even though I don't get this device till Monday, count me in for 10$ sh*t this thang needs root.
I'll put in $30, plus I will also try to see if I can do anything to get this thing rooted and the bootloader unlocked.

Because the bootloader issue seems to be the same as the S4, this seemed like a possible solution.
I could be wrong but thought it might be worth researching.

Mine has a delivery date of 10/10. I'm pretty sure thats the day its released.

Mine automatically came with overnight but I think it had to do with ordering through a business account.
You should get it a day early I believe. I think if I remember correctly I had regular shipping on s4 pre-order and got early so should be fine

Same here. I ordered slightly before noon on the 6th with a business account and I am still showing 10/10 with no email either. I'd expect I would be in one of the early batches.
Got mine pre-ordered this past weekend. Was able to get upgrade and keep unlimited data. Yipee! Verizon has said even though it was a software glitch, they were going to honor all upgraded that were placed and approved. Shows shipping by 10/10 but I've heard leaks that they will most likely ship earlier. I've had the Note since a week after release and it's been great. I still use it daily and it's still in great shape. If the Note 3 life is similar I will be quite happy.
Kinda wondering why Samsung felt the need to artificially inflate the benchmarks ~ http://tinyurl.com/l5jxj2m

Considering they left SELinux permissive on... I am hoping they screwed up big time and will allow this...
All my Androids have always been rooted soon after getting the phone.
Is the Dev version rooted and bootloader unlocked? Or is it just the bootloader and have to root it yourself?

How exactly? A Note 3 sale is a sale, it's the same device. It costs them pennies practically in extra work. They don't care from that end. It's whatever their contract is with Verizon that matters.

Well i sold mine for less than the dev edition and so samsung made the difference i paid. I know most people sell their retail ones for less than full price. And because i bought two phones so they made two sales, regardless if i sold one, they still got two phone payments.

That makes sense on a personal level, but realistically the number of people doing that is statistically insignificant. I have a hard time believing anyone's 'developer edition' device has sold much more than a rounding error.
