Google Confirms Nexus S by Samsung

[Big Dawg 23]

I moved to T-Mo G2 from VZW Droid X almost six weeks ago. I tried the Vibrant but no LED Flash and serious lag killed it for me. I even rooted and load custom ROM but still had lag.

Now this phone is tempting. I am still sitting on my Droid X and have offers of $300 for it and someone offered me $400 for my already rooted and custom rom G2. Selling both of those it more than enough to get a Unlocked model. I will have to check it out.

yes sir : )

I'd pick this phone up if I was on T-Mo.

I would too - in a heartbeat, as a matter of fact I am a bit jealous of the whole "pure google" thing

I feel you : )

I'm month to month right now. 2 upgrades waiting and a Nexus 2 on my mind.....hmmmmmmmmm.

I'm a big Moto fan but this device has me reconsidering.

Any reason why Google choose T-Mobile? Because they've supported Android since the G1? Just curious because I'd snatch this phone up with no regrets...

Ok, HTC did a recent phone with vanilla Android, Samsung with this one...

Ok, Moto....balls in your court...here's hoping for a future Moto phone with vanilla Android again...

Looking at the Nexus S site, that clip of improved copy n paste looks nice. Now it can be done in web pages and emails.

That was always a con for Android vs. other OS's.

^haha.. moto doesn't care about us.


I'm very disappointed that this phone does not have significant hardware improvements over the galaxy s and that it is limited to GSM. NFC and improved rom size is nice, but I was looking more for a dual core processor, upgraded GPU, and a bigger screen size.

If the galaxy s ever gets a 2.3 update, it will be difficult to differentiate between the galaxy S and the nexus s.

^That is true....

I just wish Samsung would release this phone with Verizon along with T-Mobile. I hated that the Nexus One never made it. Now Google mocks me with this phone. So unfair.

 

[pyro6128]

Forgive me if the answer is obvious, but if you buy the unlocked version, can you use it on Verizon? Or is it not possible since its a GSM phone?

 

[cereal killer]

Not possible pyro : (

I love the fact that this is a pure Google phone, and will get updates QUICKLY.

I don't love the specs especially the lack of an SD CARD??? I just bought a 32 gig planning to use it with all future phones... not possible here....

I am loving my Fascinate and this phone (Nexus S) seems that it will blow it away even though the processors are similar... but I am going to wait for the Galaxy S2 that is rumored... and see how that compares first... (and not to mention that fact that the Nexus will never be a Verizon phone so I am not even going to consider it for that alone).
