News Flash: Google made/spec’d this phone exactly how they wanted: Affordable, No Lte, “satisfactory” storage and respectable hardware. This device was never meant to be a flagship.
This device was meant to give consumers a great phone, at an amazing price with stock Android and sell globally to nearly all GSM network based subscribers.
If this were meant to be a flagship, they would have included more storage, an Lte radio and other goodies.
The price is reasonable. I think people were hoping either Google would subsidize it or have selected better hardware for the price. If it were the HTC One instead of the G4, people would be happy with the price.
Now, if only Google would buy Verizon . . . I know it’s not going to happen, but I can dream. If you’re listening Google, buy T-Mobile and I will leave Verizon.
I do not like this. America was never as “Free” as some would like you to believe, but this is getting a little more ridiculous everyday.
What’s next, if you are an employer and interviewing someone, will you have to report them to I.N.S. or Homeland Security if you notice that they follow certain religions, practices or otherwise prove that they are “American” enough?
Nexus One final hardware was not released to the public in 2009, but Google probably had a couple of early production batches for some employees and special partnerships.
Some say the F50 was hobbled, in collectors/free press eyes, because: it was not faster than the F40; you had to lease it from Ferrari until you proved you were “Ferrari” enough to own it and Ferrari reacted too severely by trying to curtail the secondary market trading that made the F40 a million dollar car.
Personally, the F40 was my car until a “little” racing team from the U.K. with brilliant designer by name of Gordon Murray unleashed the McLaren F1 onto the world.
