Indeed. Especially when you can get a Nexus at about 1/2 the price of competing devices. With Google setting a new benchmark in prices, I hope other manufacturers follow suit and stop asking $600+ for high-end smartphones and tablets.

Given a choice between a 32GB iPod touch 5 for $300 and a 16GB Nexus 4 for $350, I'll choose the Nexus 4 any day. |

Seems to me that you lack the self-awareness to recognize the cognitive dissonance inherent in defending the Android platform while not caring about non-Nexus devices and their problems, which represent >90% of the platform. Last edited by holymadness; 10-30-2012 at 02:29 PM. |

As things stand now, I'll buy a 16GB Samsung Galaxy SII new for $299 (no contract T-Mobile) and pay $10 to unlock it. |

And don't forget that those low upfront costs come with hidden costs down the road. Uninstallable bloatware on new phones. Locked bootloaders. Spammy advertisements in built-in services. Low R&D budgets. Carrier-locked handsets sold only on contract. |

The only part of the platform I'm interested in is the Nexus part. But rest assured, I plan to inherent a banana plantation from a rich uncle. |

Gimps? In the other thread the usual suspects couldn't get over how cutting-edge the latest Nexus offerings are.

I don't know why you're playing dumb. If your iPod were still running iOS 4, released in 2010, as your Galaxy Player is, you'd be crying for blood. Awful Apple, forced obsolescence, blah blah. You can't convince anyone that you truly think there's no difference between a modern OS and an OS released two years ago.
As I said, cognitive dissonance. Quote:
