Bah, wanted to see some video recording options, some people are stating it actually has 720p despite the TECH SPEC on the web site.

Pretty funny how at the 1:50 mark she thinks the Nexus S can be used to make NFC payments. You'd think they would do their research beforehand

Glad to see you are Anderdroid since you seem to have a lot of good knowledge you bring to the table

(i.e. letting us know about how bluetooth 2.1 on the Nexus S might not block the wiimote)

Not so? I've been trying to find some definitive info on what this phone's NFC capabilities are (and are not). Can you please point me in the right direction?

Almost positive the NFC chip is read only which means it can't transmit any data of yours to be able to make payments. All it can do is read the tags and give you the information on them? I'll try to find a link...

Google has confirmed the nfc was set to read only right now, but they kinda left it open ended, like it could be enabled to transmit in the future.

When Google makes public some testing videos high lighting the quality control followed by Sammy during the development of the Nexus S, just like they did with my Nexus One build by HTC...then and ONLY then...I will purchase this plastic crap.

If you want to burn 529$ in a bending=cracked-screen phone...then go for it.

Being a Nexus One owner

- How did I end up with such a bad digitizer? Not true multi-touch, where was HTC/google when they decided to go with cheap Clearpad 2000, screwing us with all sorts of screen issues?
- Why is the speaker so effin horrible, worse than my £30 phones?
- The menu keys seem to be mislocated with the screen, hence you have to somewhat press the top half (despite people saying this was fixed via software, it was not)
- Dust behind screen <-- WTF?
- Screen tearing
- Probably more that I missed


To be honest, the best part of HTC on my Nexus One was only the aesthetics look - with the unibody etc. Nothing else was of that great quality.

So please, lets take HTC off this pedestal which they do not deserve.

They even repeated the multi-touch issue on the Desire... I am actually happy they went with someone other than HTC.
