It's less that people are disappointed about the specs than they are about how the phone is priced relative to those specs. Everything you said about the phone's capabilities is true, but even Motorola admits that they designed the phone to be ratcheted one step back from the top in order to save battery life, and that ratcheting back should be reflected in the price, but instead it's the same price as the actual flagship phones out there.

My hope was that this phone would have very good, reasonable specs, but be priced at a killer level. If this thing were $99 on-contract and sold on the Play store for $299, that would be amazing...
