Isn't this like a breath of fresh air after years of dealing with Nokia claiming that their silence is just due to "Finnish culture"?

It really is. It's clear that Google has invested heavily into research and development, which is very nice to know. It's also nice to know that their development doesn't seem to be solely driven by greed but also the betterment of productive society -- if only in a small part.

I feel as though, this time I've backed the right horse, and I have very high confidence purchasing a Google device. I would not even consider a Nokia/MS/Apple device due to a history of crappiness and/or planned obsolescence.

It's astonishing that they receive so much flack for it from the vocal members of the community. I think many of the vocal members of the community suffer from underdog syndrome and when something becomes too popular it also becomes undesirable.
