Me to. With quality and style like there Z series laptop on a phone.

40. Goldeneye posted on 21 Aug 2012, 14:51 13

Hell yeah! that's what I'm talking about, any brand other than Samsung should be good and nice enough, sick of Samsung for so long already, their Nexus devices feel so generic and cheap, yeah samsung's trademarks.

85. megaSUNNY posted on 22 Aug 2012, 01:40 6

yeah,samsung is good but feels cheap and boring.its time for something new

51. snowgator posted on 21 Aug 2012, 15:37 7

Love what Sony brings..... I would be very interested In a Sony with stock Android.
Wonder why more handset makers must don't put out stock Android. Who says Skins make the Android experience better, especially with the improvements in ICS/JB?

Moto can't make a NExus device for a while Google is trying not to show favoritism toward that OEM if they got a contract for a Nexus device all other Android OEMs would go Apes**te.

12. MingLiangChen posted on 21 Aug 2012, 13:40 4

How long should they wait for? 12 months later? I'll wait ...

13. Fallout09 posted on 21 Aug 2012, 13:41 11

Don’t agree with that comment.... If Google just opened the Nexus program to other OEMs there should be no issues with Moto making one too. I welcome the idea every OEM making a "Vanilla" Nexus device.

14. smdeezy posted on 21 Aug 2012, 13:43 6

Totally agree. Equal opportunity on this one.

To be honest I think the Razr's ICS is the nearest if not exactly the same as Vanilla...

i think motorola and htc too r on the list but haven't yet applied for NFC

70. lyndon420 posted on 21 Aug 2012, 19:09 0

Htc has NFC in their One X already.

Google are laying off Motorola's employees.
There is the possibility that Google just want to acquire Motorola's patents.

100. lauremar posted on 27 Aug 2012, 08:48 0

No, Google laid off the team/employees working on the feature phones (flip phone like the razr and the likes) to concentrate more on smart phones... Which makes sense.

68. lauremar posted on 21 Aug 2012, 19:06 1

Right! I want a Motorola Razr Nexus or simply, Google Nexus!!!

73. pikapowerize (banned) posted on 21 Aug 2012, 19:29 1

yeah.... its unfair to motorola....

80. MeoCao (unregistered) posted on 21 Aug 2012, 22:10 1

Every Moto's phone now is a Nexus.

8. JGuinan007 posted on 21 Aug 2012, 13:33 4

Carriers destroy Nexus devices with bloatware and no updates or 8 months too late look what Verison did to the SGN what a shame

18. GNexus4G posted on 21 Aug 2012, 13:45 5

Nexus didn't have any bloatware on Verizon. Plus who really needs OTA updates when it takes maybe 2 minutes to root a phone and flash a ROM. My Nexus on Verizon has zero bloatware, and I've been running 4.1 for over a month now with no problems.

35. iamcc posted on 21 Aug 2012, 14:22 2

This^

I don't understand why everyone complains about the Verizon Galaxy Nexus not receiving updates. Did anyone actually think Verizon would OTA everything faster JUST because it's a Nexus?

The reason I bought the Nexus is so I didn't have to rely on big red to make decisions for me. When I wanted Jelly Bean, I had it.

That being said I will never buy another Nexus from Verizon but that's more about my data plan than anything....

Aren't Nexus devices supposed to be free from carrier bloatware?

7. JGuinan007 posted on 21 Aug 2012, 13:31 11

All nexus devices are stock

11. FrostyDanny posted on 21 Aug 2012, 13:38 4

They should do that^ but also have a poll showing the public the phones and then we all vote on which one!

19. MingLiangChen posted on 21 Aug 2012, 13:46 5

due to reputation, some OEMs are gonna get little votes if it is so.

38. MartyK posted on 21 Aug 2012, 14:44 2

The best idea of 2012!!!!

FrostyDanny for President!! :)

30. kanagadeepan posted on 21 Aug 2012, 14:01 2

I don't think so, it may hurt those who tried hard and failed...

But another possibility is Winner is Next Nexus and others as AOSP supported phones... A really Win-Win situation, imho...

21. POLICE (banned) posted on 21 Aug 2012, 13:50 8

SONY LIKE NO OTHER

SONY WHY COMPROMISE

22. Fallout09 posted on 21 Aug 2012, 13:51 3

Sony sucks.... Samsung is king!

27. kanagadeepan posted on 21 Aug 2012, 13:57 3

Buddy you miss one important point... Nexus devices get Google's love/source at very first.. For eg: Asus got JB code ahead of others due to Nexus7 and so for next big Android version KLP, the Nexus devices will get updated first...

Nexus is NOT only stock Android...

36. Aeires (unregistered) posted on 21 Aug 2012, 14:31 1

A simple explanation would have sufficed.

65. N.Reynolds posted on 21 Aug 2012, 17:14 0

That was a simple explanation.... there is a lot he didn't touch base on.

LG's flagship line of devices go by the name Optimus, that's why. Same way Samsung features the Galaxy devices.

57. protozeloz posted on 21 Aug 2012, 15:53 0

Well The First Samsung Nexus was The Nexus S

55. amancarlos posted on 21 Aug 2012, 15:48 0

people would confuse with asus

89. Berzerk000 posted on 22 Aug 2012, 03:55 0

But they are horrible with build quality and optimizations...

92. OpTiMuS_BlAcK posted on 22 Aug 2012, 07:42 1

We'll see... I'd still be rooting for LG though! LG NEXUS YEAH!

97. u-suck-more posted on 23 Aug 2012, 08:22 0

well a Nexus device doesnt really require optimization on LG's part.. more of Google
