I agree that the Nexus line serves this niche. However, I do think there's still space for one more entrant in this market. Plus, the fact that Google is increasingly closing off bits and pieces of core Android behind Google Play services means that there's a sub-niche out there for a phone that's truly open. I'm not sure if it'll be enough to carry this device to profitability, but I'm certainly hoping that it will be. I was planning on upgrading my Nexus 4 to a Nexus 5 this year, but after looking at the specs and software on the OnePlus One, I'm probably going to hold out for one of these. The site says they're supposed to come out in Q2, so I shouldn't even have to hold out that long.
