Thank you Brian !

Google experience -> Kernel source released before the phone

Yeah, that's wonderful. I think for a developer it's a sufficient reason for itself to get this phone

Awesome

Nero+dow1.4+oclf

So that the devs can keep the "rooted within hours after release" benchmark. Google rock!

Fastboot oem unlock makes that unnecessary

Hopefully this allows us to have 720p

Barrel of fun so far! lol

This makes me want this phone. I love my Cappy, but Google is so much more on the ball than Samsung....

Supercurio: get one Nexus S please, your kernel work will be highly appreciated

 

[Darrien13]

I feel like I'm going to burst from excitement!

Can anyone who is well versed, take alook around and see if there's video out of 3.5mm or even video over usb setup?

 

[ale0crysis]

Go on with Galaxy S !!

Yeah, that's wonderful. I think for a developer it's a sufficient reason for itself to get this phone

So then, are YOU getting one?

Hey...HEY! What are YOU doing here?! So, you are camping out at Best Buy tonight in the lovely weather you have out that way?

Nexus S kernel (and other resources) will improve software performance on Galaxy S.

Anyone to postulate on this comment?

 

[aleadam]

Need to keep digging, but I could not find the info in the kernel. Is the gps the same infamous bcm4751? All drivers here refer to bcm47xx...

Probably. But making work GPS will require work, and some other feature willl miss.

Now only time will tell what great things the Dev community will do

Just a word of the wise from JBQ:

"Even though Nexus S is designed to be suitable for AOSP work, there
are some caveats. I very strongly recommend against trying to use
Nexus S for anything related to AOSP at the moment. Trying to unlock
or use your Nexus S for AOSP work could easily turn it into a Nexus B
(where B means "brick"); I have two of those, they're not very useful.
I'll send some guidelines about what is currently possible once I've
finished pushing the source code.
