Ha ha, I love how someone downvoted my comment, them Motorola turns around and announces a phone with the same specs as phones that have been on the market for months already, bundled in last year’s design. I hope it’s everything you guys wanted, but I’ve still got higher hopes for HTC’s mystery device.

A Droid 5 Nexus thing. Unlocked bootloader, stock Key Lime Pie(or whatever the next version will be), 4G on Verizon, with a 4.7 inch 720p OLED screen, quad core A9/dual core A15 CPU, an awesome keyboard, and a thin profile.

Well then, I should pay more attention, completely didn’t read that it was for September. *crickets*

It won’t be announced in September. So no, other is not a choice.

It doesn’t have anything to do with the technologies existing before Apple used them, it’s that Apple made them a standard in the market, It’s really not that hard to understand.

Apple hasn’t set a hardware standard in smartphones since the iPhone 3GS. Every high end Android handset that had come out post 3GS has been superior on all hardware fronts. Hell my G2X which is 19 months old has better hardware than the iPhone 4S which is less than a year old. By the time the iPhone 5 comes to market (October?) the GS3, Note 2, HTC One X+, LG Optimus G, and other handsets with quad core SoCs will be everywhere or releasing at the same time. The only thing Apple does is market well to the glass lickers. From a hardware standpoint and I dare say even now from an OS/software standpoint Android is far superior on all fronts. Problem is that people, in general, are stupid and like to be coddled which is what Apple takes advantage of.

Kellex I don’t think Apple is ever going to do NFC. They’ll invent some proprietary NFC-like standard that runs through iTunes, push it to retailers everywhere, and then only iPhone users will be able to make mobile payments… They’ll never push NFC because they are anti-standard.

G-Nex, GS3 and HTC One X and One S are all currently on ICS and/or have Jellybean available or shortly available. Hell even the HTC Amaze ships with ICS and word has it that JB is forthcoming for it as well as the HTC Sensation as well. So there are alot of players out there with ICS and Jellybean. It is just a matter of picking the right device and knowing what you want from it.

My interest in most Android phones now is dependent upon being unlocked or AOSP.

I gave up after the OG Droid. Motorola seriously screwed the pooch after the OG Droid and Droid X. I dropped Moto/Verizon like a hot potato and went to T-Mo and have been happy as a clam with my G2X ever since. Soon the Galaxy Note II will be in my grubby little paws!

I absolutely love my Android devices but am getting a bit excited to see Windows 8 phones. After having played with a Lumia 900 I was pretty impressed overall with the OS and was hoping for some better hardware. Seems that Nokia is putting up on the hardware front and if WP8 is as good or better than WP 7.5 than it will be a very interesting device.

A new keyboard slider such as a quad-core Droid 5 with a great screen.

I’m willing to bet that it’s not. I think the edge to edge phone is the one at the Europe Intel event. Look at the invite…it says “Let us take you to the edge” and has the hastag #motoedge

I think the point @JKBane:disqus was trying to make is that it was a compromised device because, for example, it’s called the GALAXY Nexus. The Galaxy line is Samsung branding, not Google.
