This crappy Gnex has performed just fine and hasn’t been stock since release day +1. Spec wise i’m ready for a bump. I’d like to keep my LTE and Unlimited data for as long as possible, which is why i’m going to be picky about what I purchase at retail.

I hope to see some cool new things on the Galaxy S4, such as the 1080p display that’s rumored. I have an upgrade available in the spring, so the phone could definitely be an option for me. On my way to work at DISH, I like to watch my shows on my phone just to pass the time. I have the DISH Anywhere app on my current phone which lets me stream live TV wherever I am, so it would be cool to watch my shows on a 1080p display.

Most people got locked into a 2 year contract with it. That’s why they want to see this Moto X phone across all 4 carriers at a low price so they can buy the phone outright and unlocked from the PlayStore to replace their Gnex.

Ever heard of Wifi?
Besides, I wasn’t talking about replacing SD cards purely with the cloud, just that they aren’t needed. I’ve got a Galaxy Nexus with 28 GB of usable internal storage, and no SD card. 11 GB of music, 5 GB movies/pictures, and almost 2 GB of apps. When I move on from the Gnex, I’ll be transferring all that either over Wifi, or to a computer and then to my new phone.
Also, if you actually read what I wrote, you’d have noticed I said absolutely nothing about the cloud, let alone how I supposedly “dream” about it replacing SD cards.

With capped data plans, your dream of the cloud replacing SD cards is just fantasy. I’m not transferring all my video to the cloud!! You ever see the size of those files??

And how is that any different than:

* Droid Razr

* Droid Razr Maxx

* Droid Razr HD

* Droid Razr Maxx HD

Hmmm?

The D3 was vastly underpowered as well. Updates did not fix issues. Camera was timed at 12 seconds from going into camera app to actually snapping a picture. Most spur of the moment shots were here and gone before that piece of garbage actually snapped a picture. In fact, it was so bad they offered $100 in credit to buy a new Moto phone. No ICS because they skimped on memory. So the phone was stuck with the version of Android it shipped with. Pretty pathetic.

Most companies give their phones about a year to 9 months. HTC gives them a few months. S4 will be released about 11 months after S3.

Spec bump is an understatement. It will be MUCH faster.

The olded Moto phones were not great. Everyone is talking about mostly the Razr line for it’s quality. Everything about it is amazing except the hardware being underpowered, including the camera.

none of those phones were designed to be super flagship phones and were not developed with google.

I agree. For everyone saying there is no need for an sd card slot, most people obviviously have ipods which are underglorified iphones. I have a 64gb sdcard in my note 2 ditched my ipod and all apple products and have all my music and work files on that little card. I will never buy another phone without expandable storage. And removable battery is a must I owned 4 moto razr and razr maxx’s and what happens when the battery just isn’t like new, can you just buy a new one and pop it in ( NO ) you gotta rip the phone apart and pry everything to hell. Work 12-16 hours a day and need an extended life battery can you do that without buying a MAXX phone. Iphone users don’t care because their brainwashed to just buy the ( S ) version of the phone they already have every 6 months. they have no time to have to worry about a worn battery.

This coming from the guy who claims “Samsung is Android”, despite the fact that, if it weren’t for Google offering Android for *free*, there’d be no “pimp slapping Note 2 or upcoming S4.

The uses for a sd card are few and far between. It’s only good for 2 things: more storage, and portability of your data from one phone to another. The first is great, but most people are happy with 16 or 32 GB. The second is pretty pointless since most people upgrade to another phone once every year or two. And storing all your photos, videos, and other files in the cloud has never been easier, not to mention all the wireless transfer apps out there.
As for a removable battery, you don’t see or hear about iPhone users complaining about the lack of that “feature”. What a joke.
