I'm baffled at people's complaints about the specs. Really I am. There are eight computing cores in this thing. Two main CPU core, two specialized cores, and four graphics cores. (I seem to recall.) That counts as high-end in my book. Pretty much the only spec that isn't screaming high end to me is the Flash (32GB max and no SD expansion).

What's notable is that they didn't say anything about the radio section. One of the most remarkable features of the new Nexus 7 is that there's a single North American model with support for every LTE and HSPA+ band you could ever want. If they use the very same radio section here, you'd end up with a truly fantastic off-contract phone, easy to move around from one carrier to another without worrying about compatibility.

Or maybe I should let everybody complain about the cores and the screen, driving down the price of this phone by the time my Verizon contract is up and I'm ready to buy one. Yes, please keep complaining.
