So my wife got the 5C yesterday and her old phone was an iPhone 4, same as mine. Her phone is newer and both buttons work (my buttons are shitty and don't really work that well at all). Can I just wipe her phone, backup mine to the cloud, wipe my phone, then restore my cloud backup to her phone and be good to go? I probably need to swap SIM cards too, right?

Yes.
Now that I think about it I should really try to make it through the next two months and then make them send me another warranty replacement right before I upgrade so I can ebay a brand new Galaxy Nexus to pay for my new phone.

I just installed 4.4 on my Nexus 4. It's a huge improvement on the same level of ICS (especially the font).

happened to me constantly, had numerous phones replaced by my insurance until finally I told them to just give me its cash value so I could get a nexus 4

Is there any way to force or download the update? I've checked in my device settings for system updates and it keeps coming back that it's up to date.

If you want the update OTA you just have to wait. Otherwise you can download and load it yourself pretty easily. XDA will be more helpful than I on doing that though

Google is fucking around with Voice soon and it might end up screwing a lot of third party players.
Merging Of Google Voice And Hangouts Will Result Shutting Down All 3rd-Party Voice Apps In May 2014
I will be sad if my Obi doesn't have a work around.

Not for the $30 plan, you either have to order you SIM from TMO website or buy it from Walmart.
I would think so, might need totrim it down to micro-SIM size, but that isn't that hard.

Damnit, I was using that to patch the cell phone hole situated over my house.
I currently use the csipsimple app to dial out through PBXes.org and then from there to gvoice. Traverse that in reverse if anyone calls me. So if I understand this correctly, csipsimple <->PBXes.org will still work fine, but PBXes.org <-> gvoice won't? Makes sense because PBXes.org's interface to gvoice was down about a month ago when some changes to Hangouts went live.
What I don't get is how this effectively stops what I want to do(free VOIP calling). If it gets integrated with Hangouts, can't I just use Hangouts to make and receive any gvoice calls? I mean, that's essentially how grooveip works now via the gtalk interface, no? It will kinda suck though if Google doesn't beef up the codec support in gvoice. There was frequent packet loss when I tried grooveip on even good wifi connections.
