Well, you don't actually know...
Its a rumor still.
You're referring to the Wall Street Journal report? I don't believe they said they'd all be phones or all be released at the same time, so Asus would be the likely fifth manufacturer and they've already begun with the Nexus 7 tablet.
There won't be 5 Nexus phones. And until we see the next Nexus phone we won't know who makes it.
Stop reading Android blogs. It's just propaganda!
Samsung, HTC, Sony, Motorola, and Asus is who I want . I really think the updates would be scattered if this happens. So hopefully there is one GSM pentaband Nexus and 4 other devices supported almost as much as the nexus.

The WSJ said there'll be 5 Nexus devices this year. We've already seen 2, the Nexus 7 and Nexus Q. The new Nexus phone will come out at the end of the year, and there are rumors of a Nexus 10 at around the same time. Leaves 1 device left unaccounted for.

You could replace "Android" with just about anything in that statement. Android blogs should be read like tabloid magazines. Just for entertainment that, for the most part, shouldn't be taken seriously. But I do enjoy reading some
As for the question. IMHO every manufacture has made a poor device, just hope whoever is picked respects the brand
Me? I'd like to also see a Sony nexus

Now if they just weren't so damn slow in updating this phone with ICS. Or at least releasing some drivers and such so devs could get it done.
I swore I would never own another Samsung after the vibrant due to how slow Samsung was on dropping source and such...I got sucked in one again and sit in the same position again as the vibrant lol.
Frustrating for such an amazing phone to once again be limited by Samsung.

We can't just sell the phone off, because it's defective and that would be considering scamming. I would love to get a refund or exchange but we are unable to do so even within warranty, as this problem "does not exist."
I said in another topic that my complaints are directed the both Samsung for making this ****ty phone and ignoring the obvious problem, and to the phone companies for ignoring the problem not allowing refunds or exchanges.

Yeah if they go to the "version a year" model that Apple has, then that will be quite some time from now. I agree: Android probably won't be around then.

Well they're already going 1 version a year and have said so. Guess we'll see. I just don't think that 5 years from now our phones will be running Android as we think of it today. Don't think this naming convention issue is something Google needs to worry about
I don't think we'll see Android live to make it to the letter Z...
It'll no doubt be chrome OS and simply be chips in our brains by then.

It's also creating a belief, among the ignorant masses, that Google just copies what Apple created.
Works out for them both. The real losers here are Microsoft and RIM.
BTW, AFAIK the patch won't give google any of the 96M. Only proof that Apple wrongfully accused them can do that.

Dang. Looks like I held too long- was thinking of buying a gnex..
Seems like there is a consensus there are two reasons they stopped selling the gnex:
1. Update
2. because of the lawsuit thing.
As far as I understood the lawsuit (but im no lawyer) its a ban against samsung directly selling the gnexus while other vendors (VZ, google, etc) still can. truth? (if so why google play not selling it)
And is the update for JB then? Or did I miss some big news? Why not continue to sell it and upgrade prev models to JB OTA unless to build suspense/demand for it
EDIT: Found a good news article describing the situation. " Apple, as you might imagine, posted the bond quickly, and the Galaxy Nexus was pulled from the Google Play store and other online retailers" apparently the ban applies to all stores but there is hope!
"According to a report from AllThingsD, Google and Samsung have prepared a software patch for the Galaxy Nexus that should resolve the patent infringement on which the injunction is based, allowing the Galaxy Nexus to go back on sale."
UPDATE: Samsung said officially on Twitter it isnt true.

I agree. 4.8 inches is perfect. If it were "edgeless" or "edge to edge" than yeah go ahead and bump that up while keeping the same size, but the current size is perfect for a phone boarding on phablet.
No reason to go any higher when someone can just buy a Galaxy Note. I can still unlock and use my phone with one hand for the most part. Yeah it's a bit difficult but it can be done!

Not to mention that all new vzn Samsung phones have locked bootloaders when they're wide open on the other carriers.

True. But the otas are still needed for kernel source right? (Or does that worry vanish for some reason on a nexus?) I mean isn't kernel source why battery life on cm9/10 is meh for us right now? I think aeros builds are hacked up gb kernels, although its impressive how far he's brought things. Anyways I hate skins and much prefer vanilla android, hence why I prefer nexus. Different strokes for different folks I guess but I don't know why anyone would actually choose to run sense. If I was Google I'd be pissed all these companies are skinning android.

I would buy a nexus 7, but there no Amoled screen. If Samsung made the 7 it would be the same (or better) as the GN. And it would have a 1080p display. Of course it would cost 300-400$, but in my opinion an amazing display is worth it.

And specifically with LG phones? I really don't care about manufacturer. I care more about raw competitive specs and the ability to get s off and root. Is achieving both typically easy on nexus phones? Or can they be released locked down like moto has done with all their droids to date? Thanks for any incite.
