Nexus S

this is the phone i want, samsung hardware but stock android.
but the one thing that is really grinding my gears is the buttons.
on the SGS the back button is far right yet this its far left. this is where i thisk android could look at win pho 7 and learn.

hmmm just been thinking, its pretty much just a SGS so if they put stock gingerbread on this it should be easy to get it on the SGS. thank makes me super happy

I don't know why, but for some reason I'm intrigued by this thing more and more everyday........ anymore word on possible release dates and which carriers here yet?

Nexus S is a great smart phone he physical in-hand experience is not much different but slightly better than the Nexus One Then phone is plastic instead of metal,Nexus S doesn’t feature that stupid ball that many Android phones used to like to include and the main feature of the device, the screen, is clearly nicer on the Nexus S versus the Nexus One,This phone is Designed by Samsung,The new Google phone the Nexus S placed on the new 2.3 version of Android Gingerbread, Nexus S, the latest and greatest Android device.

The biggest issue I've had with the Nexus S is that the "google services" which appears to be sync of email, contacts and calendar are chomping my battery in about 6 hours...

Lucky I work at a desk so I can charge it through the day.

Some options if you don't like the batt draining:
-Juice defender: allows you to set timings for sync (eg: enable syncing once an hour)
-Manual sync
-Go to 2G mode while sitting at your desk, saves a lot of batt you could even manage this through something like tasker and have it auto change to 2G or 3G at specific times or locations

I found that a factory reset was a godsend!
it's solved the battery drain issue, something very strange happened and caused massive battery drain out of the box.

A glitch in the matrix!
