This is where I get confused and sometimes I think reading the web can be a net negative.
I am watching all the upcoming phones, with an upgrade in hand. One of the phones I am most interested in is this Nexus.
I want cutting edge technology that will deliver an awesome smartphone experience. But, gaming? Beyond AngryBirds, gaming means nothing to me on a phone.
If all this negative hoopla over the processor is over using a chip that is not optimized for gaming, then I think it is stupid. And if it turns out they used this chip to maximize all the other aspects of the device, then I cheer the whole development team and this would indicate to me that they went with a very well thought out design. This would increase my already unrealistic expectations for this device.
Their use of a 5mp camera made me think they were ignoring the typical numbers to sell things to ignorant consumers who only relate to higher numbers. I am hoping they did what it appears, and went with a high quality 5meg camera instead of stuffing 10megs into it just to brag is how you end up with a Bionic camera.
I am going to stand by and watch, and buy the device with the best reviews in the next few months. This article gives me more hope that it will end up being the Galaxy Nexus. If somebody finally has the balls to produce quality gear and disregard the typical crap that sells to the lowest common denominator types, it will be good for all consumers.
