You need to do some more research. The announcement April 4 is with HTC, not Motorola. We have a good chance of seeing the next evo, likely a variant of the one x.
Also, where did you see that news about the PHOTON?

Hey looks like the Motorola Droid/Milestone will get it before the Nexus One.
Saw some reports that they are aiming for a July release for Droid and August for Droid X.
Nice - I really appreciate the way google is treating its Nexus One customers.

Got my revo replaced with a bionic

Verizon finally replaced my revo with a bionic. I was tired of the revo screwing up so I said yes to it. Is the bionic any good? On their website it says Android 4.0 upgradable so I'm assuming I can upgrade to ICS on it or is that just for a later time?
I believe the bionic was actually a higher price point when the revo was still $199 or are they about similar phones?
The bionic is far better and has more development for it. No official ics yet though.

The only bad thing is its outdated. It was the first dual core processor phone for verizons 4G LTE that was delayed so many times. Its definetly and upgrade from the Revos hardware.

Normally its multiple times that you need to send in a revo before they will switch it.

Moto Nexus might be sooner than later

I didn't get the feeling that would be a true Nexus. You know how Motorola is with their bootloaders.

The next nexus will be a Motorola for sure and i am waiting for it! until then i will use the nexus 4 (still waiting for it )
And may it will be named " Nexus Razr"

Still hoping for a nexus xperia lol

Only an idiot would doubt that google will make their own phones through Motorola. Its more a matter of when then if.
Its not going to be a nexus I believe it will be branded as the droid RAZR X and will be realesed with 4.2.2 in q1.Google should have 4.2.2 by then.
I'm just skeptical about it being a real 'nexus' device because hasn't every Motorola phone been only sold by Verizon? Idk if moto and Verizon have a contract but since Google owns Motorola anyone would assume they would make their devices but idk

No, Motorola has sold phones on other carriers. For example, I owned a Motorola Photon on Sprint myself.
However, I think this whole rumor is around some "X" phone by Google and Motorola that _won't_ be a Nexus and _will_ be carried exclusively by Verizon. I'll see if I can find a link...
This has nothing to do with the Nexus 4 and since a lot of users still haven't even received theirs yet, we are long way from discussing this phone's successor in here.
I've already moved one of these to Android General if you would like to continue the discussion there.

Hope we get this soon... Two New Features for Android 4.3 Leaked by HTC

Interesting read...
Wish we could just the .12 update. Seen all the before and after pics and they look great. It will be nice to get 4.3 though.
Hope the Developers are all over this.

We are on Sprint, so we'll be getting 4.3 about a week before 5.0 comes out.... With any luck.

Agreed. Two years ago I bought the Nexus S 4G from Sprint thinking I wouldn't have to rely on Sprint for OTA updates but I was wrong. OTA updates consistently came months after their GSM counterparts so I ended up rooting the device and installing CM and then Slim which in retrospect was the best decision I ever made while owning that phone. Hopefully as time goes by we will get more choice and variety in terms of custom roms for the ONE although with the Galaxy 4 shipping with 4.2.2 I have to imagine HTC will be sending out an update soon so it can better go head-to-head with its biggest competitor.
i dont think thats fair. When i had my S2 we always got the updates before any of the other carriers in the us.
I just got off the s2, updates sucked. Thankfully the guys here got rooted leaks for us. I think jellybean it's dropped a month ago. I'm really waiting on AOSP for this

Well to be fair. Sprint has been ahead of the game lately with some of their updates being before other US carriers.. Example: The damn Evo LTE got jelly bean months before the flagship One X on At&t.

OTAs on nexus devices shouldn't matter if you're on xda. The 4g got Roms just as fast as the gsm.

Not to mention, HTC already has Android 4.3 from Google, and they've been testing it. With as big of a Saving Grace this phone needs to be for HTC, I would assume they would get this out as quickly as possible. We'll see 4.2.2 soon, but I think we'll see 4.3 sooner than later.

No, certain members just happen to know someone who tests lets say Samsung's test builds for a certain device, so they have it sent to them by their source and then leak it. There's no leakedromsforsprintphoneblog.com or anything.

Nexus 5 coming to Sprint [Confirmed!!]

Of the many details leaked about the next nexus, is a rumor that it's coming to Sprint. http://gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/news/nexus-5-leaked-in-new-image-revealing-side-panel-439334
What do you guys think? Assuming it's true, would you still stick with your HTC One?

I don't think I would take it on Sprint's network. I am getting it though, I plan on getting it unlocked and most likely on t mobiles network. I love my ONE. and have no issues with sprint :thumbup:, but I want to try the 'google ' experience again. Loved the galaxy nexus. Until it broke..

Most Nexus devices are updated with zero carrier intervention the day a new Android is released.

I'll be getting one as well. If its on Sprint, even better...especially since it will be tri-band and compatible with Spark.
It already passed through the FCC supporting all of Sprint's cdma and lte bands among others, this was back in August before the info got pulled. So even though it hasn't been officially announced for sprint I don't see why it wouldn't come to sprint when it supports all of sprints frequencies.

Will not receive updates like gsm look what happened with the galaxy nexus
Sent from my One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
only thing im hesitant about is the weak IR blaster compared to the ONE and the lack of an awesome TV app!
if it has tri-band Sprint LTE, I'm dumping my One.
I'm almost certainly going to stick with my One, as the spec bump isn't big enough to justify switching, and I'm really enjoying this phone. However, what really excites me is that there is at least a chance now that going forward, nexus devices will be on sprint. I can wait and see how this one plays out, then at the end of next year when the nexus 5 squared or 6 or whatever it is is announced, I will have a cheaper, easier way to upgrade early. Also, should something catastrophic happen to my one, I would have the option to just get a nexus as well.
In the past all nexus devices for Sprint were released a year later then it's gsm counterpart. If this happens again then its a definite no from me.
Its already passed thru FCC with triband(Spark) so i getting it....
Eh it's a nice phone but I would get bored with it. There would be no reason to flash a Rom.
