I can't, for the life of me, get rid of this preconception of Motorola that I have. For some reason I don't like the idea of a Moto Nexus or any Moto phone for the reason...

Why? The Droid was a developer phone and was wildly popular.. it propelled Android into the mass market. It's build quality was terrific, it was a sturdy device and didn't feel chintzy..

It's still getting new ROM's and even has some alpha ICS rom's long after Motorola EOL'd it.

Hmm no it wasn't a developer phone. It was new it was hot it was unlocked and bloat free. Vzw had no idea what they where getting them selves into. As soon as they reliazed it they ordered the most controversial lock on a phone the dreaded efuse on the droidX. Just after droid was released meer two months the true and as I see it only nexus came about.

I think LG would get a shot at the NEXUS next.before Moto as google doesnt want to show favor to MOTO
The LG Optimus Nexus will be the next Nexus with 4.5inch IPS screen and tegra 3!

Seems logical since they're the only major manufacturer who hasn't had a shot yet.

What are you talking about it wasn't a developer phone? Google gave them away at ALL their developer conferences along with the Nexus One, regardless if you dont think it was a dev phone, it was.

They gave developers the option for either a free Droid or a free N1.

It just wasn't coined as one, but you're right. It was a Nexus before there was a Nexus.

I would LOVE to see a Moto Nexus! HTC or Sony would be my 2nd choice. I've had Samsung phones and am not a fan.
