Moving from Nexus 1 to Nexus S and probably turning back!!!

[HcMAX]

Hello to all,

I recently received a Nexus S....I must say its a wonderfull phone...the screen is amazing and the touch in the hand isnt so bad...however is as some flaws that I cant live with it, specially I have been dealing with some lack of reception of network.....If I cant make phone calls why I want this phone???

Comparing the reception of the Nexus S to the Nexus 1, in my experience the N1 its way better....even the sound quality on the other end (phone call) the receiver say its more clear..(probably due to the microphone at the back of the N1)

I am almost leaving the NS except for one thing...

Gingerbread...simply love it....for me, much more fluid that the froyo...

I am thinking of leaving the NS and turn to the N1 only if I can installa decent room....

So my question and I really need your help its for these:

I can root my phone and install a custom room with Gingerbread,

Would you please help me advising which room is the best and functionall as a daily basis use?

Thanks in advance...

MicroMod777's Gingerbread AOSP ROM is pretty damn nice on the N1, seemed quicker than Froyo to me.

I'm using CM7 beta which is gingerbread. Has lots of sweet mods users of CM roms are used to like the drop down menu toggles and lots of tweaks.

Beats spending $500+. I even went to best buy and played with it. Set up my desktop and background the same... eh. Screen is a Tad brighter but eh. I'm happy that my year old phone is just as good as new phones today.

+1 for MicroMod777's Gingerbread v20!

Another +1 to micromods gb rom. Smooth, no bugs that I have noticed and great battery life. It remains as close to stock as possible so if you want more then you can try cm7.

And there is the problem with the Nexus S. It's not a "new phone today", it's a phone from March '10 with Gingerbread slapped on it.

Sure it's a good phone, but it's nothing special.

The second Nexus phone should have been in the Atrix class really, pushing the boundaries again.

very true... I am just amazed that just weeks after launch of Nexus S, Samsung demos the SuperAMOLED plus and also gives hints about upcoming Galaxy S2 series of phones. Was google in the dark about this or just dumb!?
The only advantage for Nexus S is Google's promise of regular updates. However, considering how good the developing community for android is, we don't really have to rely on Google for updates. In fact, everyone seems to use stock Google ROM only the first week after its launch... then we just go back to custom builds.
