I hear you liftedplane, that extra gig of RAM makes a huge difference in how long you can keep apps cached. Honestly if my Nexus 7 had 2gb, I'd be set for life. As of the moment though, my phone is mainly just used to tether my tablet to the Internet and to make phone calls. Everything else is done on the tablet, except in the event I'm playing a game or reading a book, in which case responding to a quick text is simpler from the phone.
But yeah, I think 2 gigs is the way they'll go from here on out, if not more in the near future. I can still wait that one out though, especially if we get lucky and Motorola contracts the Tegra 4 for the CPU in the new X Phone(s). My problem with Samsung isn't so much their product, but the way they market it. They put so much into advertising themselves as the Apple Killers. That and if the entire Cyanogenmod team refuses to mod for the S4 and other Samsung phones from here on out, I think the developer community as a whole for Samsung phones is going to suffer greatly for it. Which is a bummer since Samsung has no real reason to be so stingy with their code.
