Nexus S

Now we all know Epic is the coolest device in the universe and if you own an iphone go [Edit by Courtney]...but a new cool device was just announced..you guessed it everyone the one and only Nexus S!!!

And best of all the Nexus S comes fully loaded with gingerbread goodness! Now its not all good news here as it doesn't come with a dual-core processor nor even a higher clocked one; same old Hummingbird (still is the fastest processor on any production device of course). There is a bright side to that though for all fellow Galaxy S owners will be able to take advantage of the JIT optimized for the processor once it is ported.

Also a few things boggles the mind as Samsung decided to drop their MoviNAND and move on to Sandisks's 16gb iNAND, probably due to the controversy's surrounding the lag fix?

Anyways lets move on the the cool stuff at hand as each Nexus S comes with Samsung NEW curved Super AMOLED displays (not to be confused with SAMOLED 2) according to the specs these displays dump the PenTile technology and exhibit a 235 ppi on a 800x480 resolution and 4" screen. They also point out that the screen is supposedly resistant to fingerprints. Finally a phone you can look AND touch! lol

It is also the first consumer phone to be loaded with the rumored NFC chip!

Everything else seems to be somewhat identical to the Galaxy S,

you can read the specs here.

As for sales, google had to say the following:

"After December 16, Nexus S will be sold unlocked and carrier-independent initially through Best Buy stores in the U.S. and after December 20 at Carphone Warehouse stores in the UK."

Now onto the cookies at hand! Gingerbread cookies to be exact!

With the release of the Nexus S, Google also published the Gingerbread SDK, highlights include:

  • UI refinements for simplicity and speed
  • Faster, more intuitive text input
  • One-touch word selection and copy/paste
  • Improved power management
  • Control over applications
  • New ways of communicating, organizing
  • Internet calling
  • Near-field communications
  • Downloads management
  • Multiple Camera access

Details can be found here

So with all that on the table, which device do you think will get Gingerbread ported first? ;)

Anyways back to smashing iPhones for me!
P.S Pzzt is dumping his EVO for a BB Style..we should sooo stone him!! :P
