just not the super phone everyone was expecting

Speak for yourself. This IS the phone I've been expecting, and waiting for, since August, when my upgrade came up. I've been holding out for this phone specifically. I won't settle for another Motorola phone to last me two years.
 
I've said this else where before but I don't have time to track down my old post, but essentially, the advantages of a Nexus devices aren't the cutting edge hardware components, it is the cutting edge software that take full advantage of tried and true hardware. I would rather have a device where the hardware inside has been around long enough that the software devs have had a chance to run their code on the actual hardware and optimize the system to run beautifully than one in which I'm running hardware with mind blowing specs but the hardware doesn't know how to efficiently run the beast... it ends up being a waste and only for bragging rights and not true performance.
 
Everyone is blinded by the fact that it has ics.

It's not a bad phone, just not the super phone everyone was expecting.

When did Google or Samsung label this a "superphone"? The tech news sites, blogs and dare I say many of those anticipating its arrival have built up this phone to near epic proportion/expectations. But I never expected a "superphone" that has the sum of every other phone out there. My OG didn't have that, nor any of the prior Nexus phones. But all were great.

All I need is a phone that is "pure" Android and works well with the hardware its on. Not the "god" of all phones. If that's what you're expecting, you will never be satisfied with any purchase, because another phone will always have something your phone doesn't.

well said sir
 
I don't think Nexus phones are supposed to be super phones. Remember last year when the S came out with a single core? Other devices were already coming out with dual core processors around that time or about to anyway. It's not all about specs. Although I have to say the specs on this phone are pretty great. No Verizon phone can touch it.
