I would respect google if they made it on their own like Microsoft made surface.

it is strange that we havent seen a motorola nexus.

if we did, do you think it would offer more (above normal spec bumps)?

Not really, the Nexus was supposed to be shared each time between the Android OEMs. The exception was Samsung, who had it two phones in a row. Motorola will get their time, probably after Google has reinforced their statement with time that they won't be offering preferential treatment to Motorola.

Yea, Motorola Nexus, with the build quality of motorola and most up-to-date android os from google that would be the perfect android phone we can dream of, but on the other hand it is too good which will hurt other company like htc, lg or samsung and breaks their relationship with google.

Why? They are fairing quite well.... manufacturers are happy pushing android phones and getting profits from nexus devices as well as other things.

Sadly, I'd rather be able to buy one with LTE through Verizon. Why is it Apple can handle their own updates for a Verizon phone but Google is not permitted to do so? I mean besides the obvious marketing domination and carrier kowtowing to the big nasty Apple machine.

Cuz Verizon are pricks... and Cuz vrz navigation is so awesome plus they have to make sure to screw with us

Given that Verizon was the main outlet for US Galaxy Nexus customers, and that Verizon maintained carrier control of updates, Google must be feeling burned by the experience. No Nexus phone should have to wait months for an update, but Verizon GNex owners had to wait 2 months for Jellybean while the carrier tested it to its discerning standards. It went against the whole point of the Nexus program. So until Verizon is willing to cede update control to Google, I don't think it deserves the phone.

iPhone has never been ground breaking after 2007, so don't expect much from the current and future iphones.
