They need to either up their technology or outsource better technology that is cost effective. I’d bet Samsung would be more than happy to give them better screens at an affordable price, and pee in apple’s pool by upcharging them while giving it cheaper to others.

A motorola Nexus would be a very popular phone, I’d gladly pay $600 for it outright if they could manage somewhere between good and great specs.

they’re not always behind on processor / gpu tech. original droid had best processor in its time, atrix was the first with dual core and 1 gig of ram, bionic was the first phone to have lte and a dual core. and even if they’re not top of the line on release date, they’re usually good enough. unfortunately, this isn’t the case when it comes to camera and screen tech. in that regard, you’re absolutely right.

Another +1, Motorola build quality and reception are always at the top but the rest of the devices that they make are always disappointing, even the razr hd/maxx hd. I agree with your complaints of software/screen/camera and add mediocre cpu/gpu (motorola is always behind on these) and unimpressive design. The kevlar/nano coating is awesome, but put it around a phone that looks good.

They should release Moto Nexus devices as a lead Google Nexus and partner with each manufacturer to create their own HTC Nexus, Samsung Nexus blah blah device.

People still look to the OG Droid when they want to think of Moto’s radios. I’m surprised every OG Droid owner doesn’t have a tumor growing from the side of their head. That phone would get a full signal where today’s phones get none. HTC dropped out hard in Q1,Q2,Q3 this year but they are looking strong Q4. The DNA and 8X are amazing devices in every way…. except for Sense on DNA. God I wish they would release AOSP devices.

When I read between those lines, I read it as Moto not being very cost effective at bringing the latest hardware to bear at the lowest prices.. at least not as cost effective as companies who can make their own screens/camera sensors for their phones. In that regard, I think we may either have a wait on our hands for a Moto nexus, or it will be more expensive than previous nexus devices.

Eh.. if you read between the lines he’s bascially saying, it’ll come, they haven’t owned the company long enough to have anything concrete, and they need to do it without alienating the other manufacturers.

Is this the guy that sounds like Fozzy Bear when he speaks??

I think that’s more about how bad Sammy’s radio’s were (seem to have improved w/ the S3>), vs, how good Moto’s are. Say what you want about the TBolt, but I had them both activated for a few days and it put the GNex to absolute shame when it came to signal strength. My DNA is just as good. Can’t comment on LG..

Question 2 where Larry talks about how the Internet was meant to work together was kinda a direct jab at Apple!
