Default Nexus S announced ;)

http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/...ngerbread.html

http://www.google.com/nexus/#!/index



Nexus S is the first smartphone to feature a 4” Contour Display designed to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand and along the side of your face. It also features a 1GHz Hummingbird processor, front and rear facing cameras, 16GB of internal memory, and NFC (near field communication) hardware that lets you read information from NFC tags. NFC is a fast, versatile short-range wireless technology that can be embedded in all kinds of everyday objects like movie posters, stickers and t-shirts.

Let's hope we'll get a Gingerbread on the 16th!

WHY is that always all the good phones are on 900 bands?
Quote:
# Quad-band GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900
# Tri-band HSPA: 900, 2100, 1700
# HSPA type: HSDPA (7.2Mbps) HSUPA (5.76Mbps)


There are so many phones I like, but none on 850 version (only I9000M), they always make them for Europe first... Why?!?!?!

Very nice, the specs look almost identical to the i9000. I guess we'll see a port soon!

I'd say I can't wait to have Gingerbread on my Galaxy S, damn I hate TouchWiz.

Yes even Gingerbread 2.3 has now gone official i just hope some one in the XDA community ports it soon for our i9000's to unleash its true power and potential with out off cource instaling a lagfix.

It is said that 16th is when tmoble is getting the nexus s
(via Engadget)

My request some one please port 2.3 for our i9000 too coz samsung is gona take ages to bring it as a official update via keis they dint even completly realease there 2.2 update to every one....
I mean XDA members are way better with software anyways so
"Hurray for 2.3"

My final verdict any ways

Galaxy S i9000 (with out a micro sd slot) (beefed up design of the device) + Better Gps chip + 2.3 + NFC (Which v wont b using any time soon) + Faster Update via Google paractcally = "The New Nexus S"

Yes yes u heard me the Nexus S dosent have a micro sd slot for memory expansion only built in 16GB kind of odd any ways.

So i am nt gona buy a Nexus S perhaps i will wate for the nex gen Nexus coz any ways if v port the nexus s software to out i9000 its gona give us the same xperence as with the Nexus S so why to buy it!!

Which provider in Canada will work on the new Nexus S ?

Since Bell Mobility is using 850MHz and/or 1900MHz, does that me I can just put in my SIM card and be good to go ?

I hope GB will arrive soon on our phone...only hw difference seems to be this NFC feature,but i guess devs could just disable it (or not)...assuming it's a hw component and not just software app (i could be wrong)

Could the reason for Samsung's 'lazy' implementation and rollout of Froyo be because more development resources are being spent on getting Gingerbread on the Galaxy S?
