Google Nexus S - What do you think about it? Which phone do you have?

[xmRipper]

As you may already know from google.com homepage, Google officially introduced their new smartphone.





Nexus S has lots of gorgeous features like first smartphone with 4" Contour Display (curved glass screen) to be more comfortable.
Anti-fingerprint display coating is also another amazing feature.
It also has 1GHz Cortex A8 Hummingbird processor. Hummingbird's GPU is 3x more powerful than 1Ghz Snapdragon.
It has a three-axis gyroscope. We've seen this before by iPhone 4.

So Nexus S is really perfect smartphone. It meets all I need.
Currently I'm using HTC HD2 with Android, and I'm going to buy Nexus S

My phone which I've almost had for 5 months or so is the original Motorola Droid, running under Verizon. It works quite well, and I love the keyboard. I'm constantly gtalk'ing people, txt'ing, and ssh'ing into various servers and getting work done... all in the middle of class!

I also use it as an iPod, of course, but I preferred my iPhone's way of browsing through music but the realtime last.fm scrobbling makes up for that.

I don't like the way today's mobile technology advances. It's all too quick; an endless rat race. Nexus S looks damn sexy.

I have Nokia 6500 Slide that accompanies me for more than two years.

Nice device, but it needs better cpu for super-smooth android experience ^^

Looks like Nexus S is the new best phone. Nothing to say.

I've made similar thread to it couple months ago when I bought my HTC Hero. Unfortunately it was forgotten in forums midsts. I really like my Hero, I doubt I'll be able to afford any phone like it in near future. But if I could I would go for some phone using android.

got this phone



bit shit but what can you do

[Fireman]

You mentioned those but didn't say it has

-AMOLED screen
-Capacitive touch screen
-Resolution

and other numerous stuff ?

It looks nice and sexy, I would definitely buy one if I had the money. If they did a revision of the HTC HD2 with some of these features ( except the res/screen size, which is already big enough I suppose ) that would be some awesome.

Right now I have some Motorola green "recycle" cellphone, might get HTC HD2 for $150 today I hope

I just hate that..on those videos, they don't show actual real-time interaction damn marketing

HTC Wildfire

PSP phone... It's gonna happen. That's all I'm saying.

Because we've already seen those features before

HTC Wildfire

Very nice phone, i like it

i bought the nexus one the day it was released (january 6th), and i'll probably be doing the same with the nexus S.  i don't like to be behind the times.

eh, it seems pretty smooth. The only gripe I have with it is the battery life. My iPhone could easily last 3 or 4 days while I need to charge my Droid every chance I get otherwise it'll die in like 2 days, under a day if I'm actually using it.

yeah wut

Really though, I just don't think we need cell phones. All of the generations before us were fine without perpetual access to their contacts. People need privacy, if we're butting into each other's lives constantly how is anything going to get done?

I'm currently at college, without a 'casual' phone (the one above is for emergencies and business only; I can't afford an unlimited plan). If I want to hang out with someone I care to learn their schedule so I can find them, or we arrange in advance to meet somewhere some time. It's fun to meet up with people that way. Of course, I check my e-mail once or twice a day, so if someone does want to reach me, they can. And if someone needs to give something to me but they can't reach me, there's always my post office box.

Call me old fashioned, but I think I'm much happier that I would be if I were locked into the cell phone world. Spontaneous instantaneous immediate everything is not necessarily better.

I had a phone similar to that while I was in 5th grade. It still has the record of having the funnest games (snake, anyone?) and the best battery life so it definitely doesn't deserve bashing.

As for the points in your post, I agree that privacy is slightly at stake and if people spend all day socializing via txt messages things won't get done, but I feel that IM'ing and txt'ing from cell phones really does help actual work get done. Any given day I talk to various partners all around the world from my phone as we work on coding projects together and stuff. It's a great way to kill extra time that I'd otherwise spend sleeping during the day or wasting time somewhere.

Answer is easy. You use your droid more frequently while shit *cough* iphone lays unused. Android is way better.

Changing ROM extended my Hero's battery life.

[zakath]

I use a bunch of phones as I develop stuff on them.
Mainly use different types of android phones though like Acer Liquid, Google Nexus One, HTC Magic, Samsung Galaxy and HTC Desire but I also sometimes use different versions of Iphone 3G(S), 4.
but in all honesty I find smartphones pretty tedious because of the bad battery time.

No, actually. My mom got pissed at AT@T's tech support and was like "f**k them; we're going to Verizon," which is why my iPhone is essentially an iTouch right now and I have a Droid. If it wasn't for that I'm sure I'd have the iPhone 4 right now and be happy with it. Some of my friends have them and they're hot as hell.

why so edgy bro

I just recently upgraded from an old-school LG brick (it really feels like a brick in your hand) to the LG Optimus. Definitely not the greatest Android phone out there, but it's such a big leap from my previous phone that it might as well be.
