re [0]: It seems clear that it's a political choice-- Google's not releasing a flagship that's not a "Nexus," and Samsung's not releasing a high-end phone that's not a "Galaxy."
What do you think of "Nexus Galaxy"?

When all the rumored names were flying around, I suspected this would be it, but I was hoping it would be some sort of dual release, with Google selling the 'Nexus Prime' directly, and Samsung releasing the Galaxy [X] on carriers. Maybe that would've been worse, though.
