G+_Marlon Thompson Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I won't be buying one, mainly because I live outside of the US but this phone interests me. I also think the purpose of the phone is to fully highlight Google Now. Mike Elgan asked a Motorola executive what has been the difference being a Google company and the basically told him that usually phone companies get bogged down in doing cost benefit analysis for features, so that what eventual comes to market is less than what they had originally dreamed. On the other hand With Google’s ownership of Motorola, the executive told me, the whole conversation changed. In a nutshell, Google loved these radical ideas and quickly killed any movement toward getting bogged down in a lengthy cost-benefit conversation. Just do it, Google told them, and don’t worry about whether the costs will be recouped by hardware sales.

G+_Derek Duncan Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 so a guy who has an iPhone 4S and says he'll buy another iPhone (without knowing anything about it) is someone to listen to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Marlon Thompson Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Derek Duncan listen too maybe, agree with, thats up to you, but I think that he makes good points. I have an Android phone but I recommend the iphone to certain persons and I have an opinion on the iphone and iOS. There are also some Samsung fanboys who have the Note 2 and who I have already seen saying they are buying the Note 3 even though they have only announced the day its being launched today.

G+_Marlon Thompson Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 Derek Duncan I don't know if you saw that "i have an iphone and my next phone will be an iphone" was all the rage in the comments section of every article on Droid life yesterday. People were pissed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
