Nexus Software Life Cycle

[2defmouze]

You have to make it and spend it..... What you going to retire with all that money when your 65 and than enjoy it? If I work hard now I reward myself now. As long as My bills are paid first, + essentials are taken care of the extra money I spend.

If I upgrade phones once a year for something I use daily I find that more that fair. I work 50-60+ hour weeks, $300-$400 I spend once a year on good technology imo is worth it.

You don't need to justify what you do with your money to anyone here. If you can afford to treat yourself to a new phone when you want one, cool. There's plenty worse things people do with their money.

I am anxious to get a Nexus 4 and I plan to keep of for very long time. Since I want the N4 for considerable amount time which leaves to wonder how long Google will keep the OS updated.

Nexus One made it a year.
Nexus S basically two years.

Will two years be the cycle Google will try to keep with Nexus devices from now on?

Will Google try to go longer than 2 years?

Right now for Galaxy Nexus does not seem it might not make 2 year mark like Nexus S. GN with 4.2 may have shown it's limitations.

I would like Nexus 4 to be update for three years as long as it is feasible and performance improve or same.

In this day and age of faster, better and what's new that is one of the MAIN reasons why not to have a contract. I upgrade my phone every year, heck every 6-8months if I could... In about 3-4 months there will be a S4 and that will beat everything out.

Point is by me buying the Nexus 4 as many others we will not keep this phone for more than a year. Heck if I buy it in December (finally available hopefully) then by the time July comes around I will be on the latest and greatest. Technology is moving to fast for you, me anyone to stay stuck with a mobile phone for so long. I mean this is not a computer or television, these phones for $300 and less get faster and better so I upgrade every year and then sell it.

Case in point I am currently a MetroPcs user using an Lg Connect. Excellent phone when it came out, but now it's time to move on as the technology is old. I will easily sell this phone for a $100 and use that money to buy the Nexus 4 and pay the difference. Rinse and repeat.......

u gonna sell on ebay? craigs? i wanna sell my phone...
