One thing I do appreciate about the Nexus is the low price -it will come in at $530 unlocked. The price alone will force other OHA members to start making better handsets at better prices. I mean, a snapdragon processor, OLED screen etc for that price is brilliant. At the end of the day we as consumers will get better phones. I think regarding their broken promise we should take into account that the other OHA members have no real alternative ito OS. Windows Mobile is a joke, and Symbian is showing its age... This will also give us a clear indication what Apple would see as the minimum bar to compete with in the next iPhone. OLED screen and 1GHz+ ? Great. You make good points Saul.
