That doesn't mean that HTC, Motorola, Sony and Nokia aren't brilliant but Samsung and LG have good UI, build quality and screen.

How about two new nexus :

A new low end nexus and a new high end ?

The hardware of the galaxy nexus is similar to the other mid end mobile, and the nexus is here to show what should be an android phone, so they could show what a true low end phone should look like ? And a new high end ?

All nexus come with a new version and jb isnt new although it is the latest version! Nexus stands for the next version (new). Anyway none of us know for sure so like the editor said - take with pinch of salt!

I wouldn't buy LG otherwise but this is pretty awesome...
