Its counter-productive if you want to achieve high sales numbers...Well at least the previous two nexus' sold much lesser than SGS or SGS2; maybe that's why they chose LG to get a higher sales volume than LG Optimus G...


Also by launching a nexus later the pure Google experience argument doesn't apply here since we can add external storage we can also do custom ROMs right? My SGS and SGS2 received everything the Nexus' have received due to the similar hardware platforms...
The mobile sector is changing the state of the way that we compute. I for one am glad that some legacy PC tech is being left behind in this shift.

I don't think that we can say definitively that this will appreciably hurt sales until the numbers come in and compare it to past devices. I'm of the opinion that the brand, and price of the device is much more compelling than inclusion of a microSD port for sales, especially among the lay consumer which will ultimately not know/care.

The Nexus 7 is already selling around 1M units per month, the Nexus 4 and the Nexus 10 should also do very well.
