Whatever. If they don’t release a phone with as good a keyboard as the Droid4, I’m not interested.

I think that’s more of an iReference.

I resold my Maxx HD for $550.00 so resale was almost double what I paid for the N4. Software version.. Really?? It’s not all about unlocked bootloaders and aosp. The software on the HD was less buggy than what I have used on the Nexus 4 so far. Proc/Ram yes the N4 has the advantage but Proc/Ram don’t make a device. HD had a much better build quality in my eyes and the radio much better than what this N4 has. As I said before, I do like the N4, I just don’t think it is as good as the HD.

That’s a pretty nice severance package.

That’s just what I was thinking. The smash your hopes and dreams by saying “you’re not going to see anything amazing from Moto for a while” and then everyone forgets about it and at I/O they come out and announce something that will give everyone a giant nerdboner and make us poop our pants.

It wasn’t a terrible seller to the readers of this particular Android Blog, but you’re right that is a relatively small group of customers.

The older devices on smaller carriers are likely dirt-cheap overstock that manufacturers are trying to recoup losses on as opposed to new flagships that they want to have profits from.

Is noone seeing the “has” in that statement? To which point, I agree with him. The RAZR line is solid from end-to-end, but not one of those devices makes you go “WOW” like the N4 does. They are workhorses, not supermodels with advanced physics degrees like the S3 and One X.

I choose to put more faith in what the VP of Products at Motorola (Vic Gundotra) has to say rather than the CFO at Google. One of these people is slightly better informed than the other.

I bet we seen another GD Xyboard thing, a refreshed M, and a new RAZR like product before we see any kind of X phone action. Not to mention all the stupid CLIQ type devices were likely to see for smaller carriers.

Maybe because we already have little to no respect for Motorola.

I think this is more of an admittance that they can do better, rather than a “Old Motorola sucks!” comment. The M and HD weren’t “wow” phones either, but they are by no means bad. My Razr M has been great, even though I haven’t been great to it (endlessly dropping, spilling coffee on it). It’s been 5 months and I’ve yet to see anything that makes me want to upgrade.
