Can't be much of a success if Razer wound up buying them.
The actual Nexbit device was genuinely interesting and a good attempt at something different but the mobile wars are over and anything attempting to disrupt it is doomed to failure. Especially anything that is an Android fork for a variety of reasons (security/updates etc), the Nexbit was Android but underneath a custom layer of a whole bunch of other stuff.
Can't see an Android Razer phone being a huge draw, what with Microsoft's CPC (cellular PC) program kicking off at the end of the year, given Razers userbase a gaming focused CPC would make more sense.
(CPC's arent meant to disrupt mobile but keep the PC's head above water so it isn't swept away by the mobile tide, by salvaging whats left of Windows Phone & rolling it into PC).
Not necessarily; Razer bought THX and I'd say they were a huge success, at least for a while.Quote:

They need a better camera and battery on that phone
