WTF??? ICS seems beta to you??? Are you on meth bro? And and what assortment of specs are you looking for?
Okay, I guess beta was too strong of a word. But c'mon, it is a brand new OS for Android. You can't guarantee it to be running as smooth and perfected as Froyo or Gingerbread.
My preferred assortment of specs are pretty much what the SGS2 Skyrocket have:
- Future proof processor, i.e. 1.2Ghz or 1.5Ghz Dual-Core (this is where Nexus also passes my preferred)
- Internal storage + Micro SD Card slot (Nexus doesn't have, I prefer to have my storage separated so I can control it better and also I've got up to 48GB with SGS2)
- More up to date & future proof camera = 8MP that the SGS2 has. Seriously, my OG Droid came with a 5MP camera 2 years ago!! Why they settled for the same with the Nexus is crazy.
- Nice, large screen (Well both SGS2 LTE and Nexus have this and are pretty equal so can't argue there)
- LTE (of course Nexus has, which prepares me for future LTE launches)
Seriously, I don't understand why people are defending the Nexus to the death like they are. It's not that epic of a phone. Yes it's pretty darn nice and is the next in line of Nexus phones. But the Nexus phones haven't been the most epic phone at the time of their release when competing with other phones released around the same time. When you line it up next to multiple other phones just recently released, and comparing only hardware (not OS since ICS is new) Nexus isn't going to win hands down. When comparing the Nexus up against the SGS2, SGS2 Skyrocket, Razr, Rezound, Atrix 2, Vivid, and LG Nitro HD... Nexus isn't going to blow them all out of the water with it's whole package of specs.
