Samsung was working directly 1 on 1 with Google to make the Nexus S. You REALLY think they wouldn't ask Google to hold back 2.3 from the Nexus One for 3-4 months in order to increase peoples desire of the Nexus S???
If you don't think Samsung is a company that would do that then you need to see how they handled the Behold II update and Vibrant update they are holding back in order to increase desire for the Vibrant Plus...
"Hey Google, please hold back 2.4 ota update from the Nexus S so we can sell this new phone some more" - signed, Samsung
Sounds pretty easy to me
Then again I'm all about the conspiracy theories
Exactly my plan!I guess one could return the Nexus S for a full refund... then buy it again and have a fresh 30 days... I think...

The above article was written before the Nexus S release. I'm pretty sure I9023 is just a remake of the NS for europe.

After doing some more research I found this German site:

The translation of the last paragraph is something worth noting.

Just to let everyone know, we are angry, we just got this phone not even a month ago and there is an updated model. That's kind of new... I am still hoping it is some different colour.

I won't lie.. I am really upset right now. I feel like throwing this phone and screaming out Samsung in a dramatic way. It's so frustrating I wanna laugh too.. lol.
If its worth anything. When I go to www.gameloft.com in the browser.
It shows this
"A High-Quality Gaming Experience for Your Samsung i9023 Google Nexus S!"
I think that they limit the times you can do that, that's why Best Buy when you but the phone they ask you for what phone number you will be using it on.
I'm assuming its so that they can track it and see if you're buying and returning the phone every 30 days. I mean if they dont do that wow that would be a brilliant plan.
I'm going to return my Nexus S on friday, so if I can pull something like this and get an addtional 30 days sweet!
This chart is a must read for everyone in this thread that's been upset by the rumors of the possibility of a newer Nexus S-like device out soon.
I would def wait to see how Google treats the Nexus One (original Nexus phone)
Google right now is acting like a**holes and withholding the gingerbread update from the N1 the same way that people HATE Samsung for withholding Froyo from the Galaxy S phones
The whole reason to buy a Nexus phone was to get updates ON TIME and not get dicked around by carriers withholding software updates but now you can't even have faith that Google isn't going to leave a Nexus phone for dead like they did with the Nexus One.
If they do this to the Nexus One then they are going to do this to the Nexus S as well. Right now Apple seems like a more trustworthy company than Google for software updates, and thats saying alot
