The majority of people bought the phone because of the marketing and how the employees up-sold it as the best phone on the market.

surely you are incorrect, if average users were to go for feel of a phone they wouldv’e picked the Razr, as for performance they would’ve picked the Rezound (and Beats because most average users dont know that you can do that with DSP), however most Nexus users bought the device because it was a developer phone or had vanilla android on it no lame skins.

I emailed google and this is what they sent back to me in a email. Hello! Thank you for writing to us.

The media reports are confusing our statement about support for CDMA devices. Android and Google will certainly continue to support CDMA devices going forward.

We have only dropped support for these devices as Android developer phones for Android open source development (ie. for people who want to configure and load their own Android distribution on devices) because they require some closed source modules from the OEM and/or operator. In other words, we just can’t open source all of the code on these devices, but they will certainly be supported and receive updates to new platform releases in future.

Sorry for the confusion. Please see the updated media reports (http://briefmobile.com/dan-morrill-dont-worry-cdma-nexus-still-supported), and statement from our open source team here: https://groups.google.com/forum/? fromgroups#!topic/android-contrib/phz3S5ZdveU

Thanks for your interest in Android!

Updates are updates. Besides, most people bought this phone to install custom roms.

I hear all the reasons for why but here is my statement : what happened to stand behind your product and having all your ducks in a row before releasing! Is this the 2012 business policy dump on the customer! In my book, take it off the shelves and offer full rebates or make it right!! And take the faltering party to court for breach of contract or agreement, not dumping on the customer. Is this what we are to expect from major business oops sorry tuff crap but thanks for your money see ya by by now you have a nice day.!? @$%#@$%#

I knew this device was going to be a disaster from the hardware to the carrier and now technically isn’t even a real AOSP device……

No. Most users, that is the average user bought it because they like the look and feel of it, performance, etc. Outside of some in this forum nobody cares if says nexus or yomama and could care less about direct updates from Google.

Due for release sometime in 2016. I hear it might even have a 720p display this time.
