Anyone else wish they weren't working w/ Samsung, to me the phone just looks like a cheap 3GS knock off. I loved my N1, hell even the G1 was decent for it's time, this just looks so meh to me(here's to hoping the software is the WOW part)
Seriously, smartphones all look the same today (modulo the occasional models with hardware keyboards). If you really believe otherwise, you're way too close to the industry.
GP may have been referring to build quality/materials, but I could be wrong. HTC devices tend to use more metal and non-slip surfaces that feel solid, as opposed to Samsung's plastic. SGS2 vs HTC Amaze for instance.
I personally think Samsung phones _look_ better, but don't feel as robust as most HTC phones.
But your wish will come true - the suspicion has got to be that it will be Motorola get's the next Nexus, and potentially picks up the brand name on an ongoing basis.
