Dude, if Nexus line REALLY disappears (which I highly doubt, Google is not that stupid) and there will only be Google Play Editions - then I'll be completely out of options as far as the Android devices go.

I don't like LGs, I don't like latest HTC phones and the Sense UI, I don't like the crappy plastic Samsung phones, other OEMs are either too pricey or too crappy or have almost nonexistent user base and custom ROM selection

I already had problems going along with AOSP stuff on Desire S, and I'm not really into messing with that again, Nexus devices are just easier in terms of rooting and custom content (fastboot oem unlock and there you go)

That's not to mention that Google Play Devices is not available in Russia and probably isn't going to be launched for the foreseeable future, and none of the local retailers sell GPE versions

It's like if Google cancels Nexus then I'd have to switch over to a whole another OS :/
[Off-topic] NVardan:
If Google cancels the nexus line, they'll make GPE available everywhere where you can now buy nexus devices. But, as I said, the prices will still be higher than Nexus devices.

And what about the CyanogenMod phone? If it is going to be available in Russia? And there are no nexus phones anymore? Would you buy it?

retailers do sell GPE and Nexus devices here in my country ( no play store ). but I got your point there. what are meant to be US-only, will be US-only.

still, when it comes to GPE, it's not "Nexus" like the one im holding right now. you know what i mean. :rolleyes:

I can only hope for Google to make GPE available everywhere. It's been 3 years now and they still haven't launched Play Devices, even though they SHOULD have a reason for that by now. Heck, some retailers even have officially launched Nexus 5 here, but still no GPD.

As for CM Phone - I doubt it, Russia is not the main market for CM definately

This game really was a must win game considering everton/spurs/Liverpools games they had. We should have taken advantage of that. Even with a full team of RVP, Rooney and Mata we can't even get the result.

Don't forget Vidic is suspended too, so we are left with Smalling and Ferdinand for our next game and also no backup to Rafael. (With Fabio gone)

Carrick hasn't been as good as last season seems off the pace. We send out Anderson and we don't bring in at least another CM... We should consider recalling Powell. Even against Cardiff, our midfield of a 40 year old winger and CB got torn apart.

Welbeck was woeful and nonexistent this match, I was hoping he had proven himself after his recent run of games.

I guess we should enjoy the CL this year while we're in it... I can't see us qualifying unless we do a Chelsea 2012 and win the CL!

Solid performance today nice to see Moyes shake things up a bit and play through the middle. Good lineup front 4 although Januzaj and RVP weren't having their best games.

Fellaini was brilliant today in my opinion, no Cleverley-esque passes so our play wasn't slowed down. Defended well and had a few good opportunities to score!

Swap Mata with Kagawa for the CL game, Evans for Rio and Raf for Smalling if fit.

Tough fixtures ahead though in the PL! Liverpool and City...

------

Could possibly be picking up a new Nexus 5 tomorrow... White or black????
[Off-topic] ben_pyett:
agree adnan didn't have a great day and neither did RVP, so glad to see he nailed the pen.

I know you're a Kagawa fan, but I believe he's been given his chances, and now it's Mata's time.

Agree big hair wasn't as bad as cleverly but doesn't mean he was any good, he plays the same like I did when i was school by avoiding any contact with the ball as to avoid messing up, but not what i want that position.

The win was massively important for us as was a Rooney goal after his renewal and will hopefully Be a platform for the forthcoming CL game.

Great news on N5, only one colour for me, black, but each to their own. Either way still a brilliant device, you won't regret it.
[Off-topic] olyloh6696:
I'd pick Mata over Kagawa any day, but unfortunately Mata is already cup tied!! He's already played for Chelsea in the CL earlier on.

Kagawa only seems to perform well in the hole (e.g - Leverkusken game) so hopefully he gets a chance to play there at some point.

As great and important Rooney is I just can't justify him on £300k/week. More than Messi!!! There should be a clause in his contract in terms of his fitness. Needs to take care of himself, cause I can't see him playing at top level when he's beyond 30. Unless of course he drops deeper and plays midfield in his last few years.

Cheers! Personally I'm leaning towards the white one as I've always owned the black/default variant of a phone. I'll see in person!

good point about being cup tied, I hadn't thought of that, in which case agree with you.

In other news, Sammy announced its first Tizen OS devices... and those are two Smartwatches - Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo.

Nope, it doesn't. The single reason why other OEMs are as not big as Samsung is because it's their own fault.

If Sony wanted to be the same - they would

If LG wanted to - they would

If HTC wanted - they would

But their own laziness, lack of support, mediocre devices and specs, and hitting only certain markets (read - price points and countries) brings them to where they are now. Samsung can easily be beaten, but if OEMs just don't want to change and become #1 - serves them right, the mobile market is ALL about competition, and Samsung realized that pretty quickly
[Off-topic] NVardan:
I do agree about Sony and LG but don't agree about HTC. They are on the edge of bankruptcy and aren't even nearly as big as the other three so they can't spend that much of money on advertising, they spend all of the money on developing devices that's why their devices are arguably better, in some aspects at least, than the competition.

[Off-topic] PVL_93_RU:
Well it is actually quite sad how HTC is digging their own grave and have been doing so for several years now, not even HTC One is helping them despite how awesome of a device it is. It's really upsetting me how HTC has done it right with the "S" series (Wildfire S, Desire S, Incredible S) and the "One" series (S, V, X, X+) but when they just dropped them at certain point and left them with no further updates (some even didn't get any and stayed at the same Android and Sense versions they initially were) or support (Desire X, which is actually quite good and I was considering it as my next phone after Desire S, didn't get ANY good custom ROMs and even CM was almost barely usable + it hasn't got past 4.1 or 4.2)

We'll see how things turn out, but so far the perspectives aren't the best for this company, I DO hope that Peter Chou either shakes HTC up, or gets replaced by someone, or the company gets bought by Google like Motorola and stands up on their feet again.

Ugh, that, and if leaks of HTC One v2 are true - HTC is gonna suffer all the way throughout 2014 until next flagship, I guarantee you that.

All hopes for HTC to prove that New One leaks are false. Then for Google to roll out a badass Nexus 6. And then for Apple for FINALLY roll out a big iPhone to laugh at iDiots which will change their mind about big screen phones which today they call "shovels" (it's a local Russian name used among fruit fans)
