After getting burned by moto I was wary of buying another device from them but I got a good deal and a 3year contact moving up to the atrix when it was new, only to get burned even more.
Basically I'll never buy another moto device again and I'm sure most other people here won't either but would you if it was a nexus. To reiterate no I wouldn't.

Re: Would you but a Motorola Nexus phone
Just as people are buying LG's Nexus phone (or trying because of small stock), I think people would buy a Motorola Nexus device as well as long as is good
Re: Would you but a Motorola Nexus phone
Hate to be that guy, but I can't take this seriously with a misspelling/typeo in the title of the thread. Please fix it.
I think many people even those who were busted with atrix would happily buy a moto nexus including myself.
Re: Would you but a Motorola Nexus phone
I agree, you don't buy a nexus phone for the manufacturer. You buy it because the support comes directly from Google. As much as I loathe Motorola right now, and wouldn't buy any other phone from them, a nexus device is a whole different ball game.

Re: Would you but a Motorola Nexus phone
NO.
Just because I've been fooled once doesn't mean I'll avoid using their products. I can never find better build quality. I know their software support sucks. But the hardware is really the best. I'm glad to see they still support Droid Bionic which is a 2011 phones. Still schedule to receive JB this year. Atrix HD even is being tested JB 4.2.
No and this should be a poll...
Re: Would you but a Motorola Nexus phone
Well, Motorola's hardware IMO are great, the problem is the lack of software support, so, if the next nexus is a motorola I would definitely buy it :beer:

Exactly. I am not unhappy with the Atrix, I am unhappy with the support.
If support is coming directly from Google, it would be perfect.
The Atrix is an absolute beast and it is a shame that Moto stopped supporting it.
If it is nexus you do not really need to care about the manufacturer...
it is going to be the first to receive updates official / unofficial and i guess running latest software is topmost priority most people on XDA

Re: Would you but a Motorola Nexus phone
If Motorola made a Nexus and supported it like they did the Xoom, that would be great. The Xoom had vanilla Jelly Bean more than six months ago and it came out just before the Atrix.

I'm not sure Moto could pull off a true Nexus until they stop making Verizon such a priority (think of why the current Nexus has no LTE and recall the short-lived, but damaging Verizon GNex fiasco) . That being said, I would say the odds of me actually buying anything Moto again are next to none, unless they were to sell it at a substantial loss, only then I would consider it.

It has to be better than samsung phones or at least with similar hardware and a lower price...

I would by one used a bit after they came out if reviews were good. 1st to get updates nice. Motorola repair center has been good to me. Out of 2 atrixes 1 was repaired under warranty and the other replaced twice under warranty. the fact the needed to be sent in on warranty goes against what I keep hearing about build quality. and I love my Samsung i717 running fully functional 4.1.2.

Probably the GSM Galaxy Nexus, or whatever Nexus phone comes out next. They have good support, and will get updates fast!
nokia windows 8 at least dual core or the next nexus if its not too big
If the nexus had SD card support, I wouldn't hesitate but since it doesn't, probably the galaxy s3.

I'd like the Atrix HD next, but if Motorola gives it the same half-ass treatment as the 4G...I'll have to jump on the SGIII bandwagon--and oh how I hate bandwagons.
I will buy a galaxy nexsus
For me it will either be the next Nexus device or probably an iPhone. I love the versatility of my atrix but I just want a phone that works right out of the box. That and with the atrix I've learned that updates are a huge factor for me.
I am already splitting time with a SGSII.
There's no other phone besides these 2 currently out there that even remotely interests me.
SGSIII IMO too big of form factor and costs are not justified even if it was smaller.
Galaxy Nexus - Hardware inferior to the SGSII. (yes the Nexus has better screen resolution, but I've seen pages load up faster on the SGSII and GPS lock on the SGSII smokes the Nexus).
On top of that I REFUSE to buy a phone without external MICROSD support. If the next Nexus has that then I'm in, but without it is a complete deal breaker for me.
Like I said other than the Atrix and the SGSII, there's literally nothing for me iut there and I guess that's a good thing...

next nexus
I went with the SIII. I love it, but I still use my Atrix. Thank goodness for the Micro Sim adapter ha-ha. I will admit that I only use my Atrix when I am out doing something where I could possibly break or lose my phone, but hey, I still use it and like using it.
HTC One X because it is the only high end Android phone that uses IPS instead of AMOLED/PenTile (which is a horrible, cheat of a screen that I will not get again). Otherwise, an iPhone.
I've already moved on. And I can't go back even if I wanted to since my Atrix was stolen fairly recently.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
The next nexus phone, sIII, or one x. I'm probably not going to buy another Moto phone after this.
Whatever it is, its not on the market yet. Nothing out there looks like a big upgrade over the Atrix. At least, not big enough for me to justify switching.
Whatever is considered high end by the time my cellular contract is up in another 1.5 years.
/Why yes I'm on a standard Canadian 3 year contract. How did you know?
As the title says, which device are you migrating from? What's making you take the switch? Other than the price of course
I've got an OG Galaxy Note and I'm considering getting one assuming I can get about the cost of the N4 for my Note when I part ways with it.

I'll be coming from the Galaxy Nexus myself. Hopefully it's worth the jump. Can't afford to drop too much on the phone; so hopefully I'll be able to manage it when I sell the GNexus. In any regard, I think I'll jump back into development when I do.
HTC Sensation 4G. I'm rooted running paranoid android on 4.1.2 but the s3 dual core gets so hot and I want a pure Google phone. Benefits: s4 pro, wireless charging, NFC, beam, pure Google, 2gb of ram.
I only have 16gb SD card and i never run out of storage and I only remove battery during boot loop but holding down power button force shuts down so I don't consider those as down falls.

S3.
Jumping back on to the Nexus bandwagon and never, ever falling off again.
Had a Gnex but took it back because I didn't want to sign a stupidly long extension to my Canadian contract. Ended up with a free S2 this summer but now since Exynos sucks dev wise, I'm switching to N4.
Can't believe something actually worked out for me and now I can get this at a great off-contract price
Since there were news reports earlier this year that Google wanted to produce multiple Nexus devices/phones. Not sure if they meant the Nexus tablets, by Asus and Samsung instead. Someone, anyone? :good:
I think the rumours were to different devices but they never said if it was other phones or tablets etc. I think LG will be the only nexus phone brand this year.

It was more of a rumor than an announcement, and i wouldn't expect it to come out any time soon.
Like I'll tell anyone, if you keep on waiting for the next big thing, you'll wait forever.
The answer is simple by answering this question. Does the desire for the nexus 4 outweigh the usefulness of your current phone?
For me, it was a no-brainer. I was not happy with my vivid stock, I did not care for the bugginess (<--- is that even a word?) of the available Roms, but loved aosp.
If you feel you'll be happy with your current phone, then wait until a phone comes out that you must have.
The phone probably won't be out till summer most likely. Then the next nexus will be around the corner. Great hardware or not I don't know if I'd even get one if it doesn't have direct from Google software updates. Don't care if its a different branch than the nexus line... It has to be straight from Google or its no better or worse than the galaxy line from Samsung or the one series from HTC.

Thats what im thinking. Ive been babying my G2 so its lasted me a lot longer than others ( the whole loose hinge shenanigans). My phone is still serving its purpose but at the same time i know it wont last that much longer. N4 seems like an awesome device with a few quirks. For those that have the N4 can you tell me what you both like AND dislike about the phone. Want to start weighing the pros and cons.

I love absolutely everything about the phone. Only thing I don't like is the limit on memory (I have the 16GB). It'st he first phone I've owned that has yet to experience any lag or slowdown whatsoever.
I would personally go for Nexus 4 because
1. The x phone is just a rumor and hasn't even been announced
2. If it is going to be sold by Motorola who makes money off the hardware, then the x phone will be more expensive than Nexus 4 by Google who makes money off by software (which explains the price of Nexus 4)

Go to any forum of any device and you will always read a lot of "bad things". There is no perfect phone and people tend to exaggerate their problems. Ultimately, it is you who has to decide if this is the right phone for you.
Oh, and don't play the waiting game. When the new phone arrives, there will be rumours of the next, better one. What then?

Look everyone. This person talks common sense, and he does it in a thread without any.
XDA may catch fire.
They are assuming a lot in that article...i dont doubt that LG may be working on the next nexus but the writer takes the leap from a quote that says LG is going to release it's next gen phone at WMC to it being the next nexus. I bet LG is going to be releasing some new Optimus phone but not the N4 successor. Even the writer states that the halt in production are just rumors. LG barely launched the nexus 4 as is, maybe they are working on a 5+ inch Nexus. Here's to hoping there's going to be a nexus 5, 6, 8, and 9 to complete the nexus line.
Well duh obviously LG is gonna show off some prototypes and tech at wmc. I'd be more worried if they didn't announce anything. Besides all the stuff from wmc well be lucky to see in stores by Q4.
