Default Are you going to get the Nexus S or not POLL

So here it is, the Nexus S.
I think a lot of people are mad because the sites like engadget fueled mad rumors about the device and now people are like, meh!
Personally i expected to be like a GSG with some added bonuses.
So what would you do?
I have voted the #2

I feel burned by samsung with the GPS and magnetic compass problems on my Vibrant. I don't know if I will ever get a Samsung again. I had HTC phones for years and never had hardware problems. So I think I can safely say no to the new phone.

Never expect the very best and you'll never be disappointed

I think of the Nexus-S as a good upgrade to the Nexus-1 and I am debating about buying it or not. The Nexus One is the best phone I've ever had and when Google closed down their webstore I thought there would never be another pure Google phone again so I figured I would keep the Nexus-1 for 4 to 5 years (its that good) until it stopped working...

But that damn SuperAMOLED and 4' screen is an evil temptress!!! Sigh decisions decisions

To tell the truth i have used the vibrant for a month after the N1, the Vibrant felt a better phone, sure the plastic build don't help but it is nicely build and the plastic used in the vibrant is from high grade, the molds used by samsung must have been very expensive as the parts were so precise, yes people don't notice that but its there. And overall the vibrant was a nice solid piece.


HTC phones are heavier sure a nice heft is nice but weight does not equal quality, I.E N1 had the ****tiest digitizer, the power button sucks big time. The G2 has hinges problems, the MT4G has the LCD lottery and the FFC being not centered. I don't know why people don't mention that when they say things about HTC. It seems like they only have praise for them. For the record HTC warranty isn't any better than samsung. You have to send the phone in and wait 3 weeks. The only good warranty experience i had with them is the warranty swap of Nexus One but that is the ONLY phone they have such a program.

HTC never had hardware problems? Are you forgetting about the huge multi-touch issues on the majority of their Android devices up until the latest ones? A much huger ****up than Samsung software screwups. GPS is flawless on my Vibrant running JK2 and JK6 froyo leaks. Was on JI6 2.1 leak as well.
