lack of a microSD slot is kind of a deal breaker for me. and the fact that samsung manufactures the galaxy nexus .. 

the rest does sound nice though. maybe one day

What's wrong with Samsung?

Also, there's apparently a rumor that Google is releasing a bunch (3-5) of Nexus phones this fall from different manufacturers.

that and a lot of carriers are restricting it

T-Mobile is restricting it too, but I downloaded its .apk from a mirror outside Play Store and it simply works because the device itself is supported. Of course, that's needlessly inconvenient and kills the ability to handle updates.

Google bought out Motorola Mobility, right? Why haven't I heard anything about them actually using Motorola for things like the Nexus series?

Though they're limited to Verizon, from what I've heard it seems like Motorola is the main manufacturer that actually makes decent keyboard/slider smartphones.

Oh, duh.  I completely forgot about Google buying Motorola Mobility for patents


And yeah, the original Droid I used was pretty good, I haven't used one of the newer ones

samsung phones are "flimsy" to me

that's interesting though, if htc+google make a phone I'll buy it without even looking at specs
