Ugh, why settle for a corvette when you could have a ferrari. "Fairly high end" should not be the goal of the nexus line. Like I said before, release several versions, give consumers the choice. Release an entry level, mid range and premium model at staggered price points and increase the market share of the nexus line instead of letting OEMs like samsung who will likely fork in the next year or two capture more and more market share by releasing premium hardware and custom bloated versions of android.
There is no reason that the amazing developer community and software first mentality couldn't be applied to a device that has premium specs that match or exceed what is on the market today.
Well, for starters Google can't make phones. They need their partners to make these for them. They don't want Samsung forking or anyone forking and if they do in fact go head on against these phone makers and make a dent in their sales you can bet that Samsung will have their OS rdy to go and change things up.
I think it would be and could be awesome if Google could do what you want them to do. Believe me I would enjoy different Nexus devices with different designs on different carriers but there is no way Google can maintain all of that and not completely destroy the Nexus idealism as a whole.(First updates)
What it sounds like is you want Google to bury their partners and take full control and lock it down like an iPhone. It would be disastrous to the Android name imo and would hurt them in the long run.
Fact is even if Google made 5 Nexus devices, there would still be some ppl saying its not good enough and in under 60 days every single device would no longer be the best device on the market. Technology moves way too fast. But tbh....most ppl consider the Galaxy Nexus RIGHT NOW to be the best device and that's because of software, not hardware.
PS - I would much rather have a corvette over a ferrari. Never liked the look of a ferrari and even if I could afford one it would not be the car of my choice.
