Google and Samsung announced recently the release of Android's latest 4G smartphone, the Nexus S. The Nexus S is an update to the original HTC Nexus One cellphone. Like its previous version, the Nexus S offers the "real Google" way to use a next-gen phone without the burdens of a slow Internet wireless connection. That means you'll get the 100% no doubt about it full set of Google next-gen apps, and both versions of the hot new smartphone, most people will try to acclimate their usage using the T-Mobile contract, and, yes, it will be unlocked. Google hasn't abandoned the basic Nexus concept which includes 1000's of Android apps and GSM coverage, USB inputs and other next generation smartphone features.
The Nexus S Google Phone: Dissenting Opinions
Google's new Nexus S , seems like it could be quite cool. Like the Nexus One meets Galaxy S according to some who have used the demo versions of the new phone with the Gingerbread OS
But others have views and reviews of the Nexus S that claim the phone is less than stellar.
The much ballyhooed NFC or Near Field Communication chip is a major disappointment according to the the UK Telegraph. They say this because few people in the United Kingdom use the system chip set at this point. Google plans on making tech improvements that may prove to dominate multiple sectors: payments, transport tickets and even more could be the basis for Google's emerging technology for the Nexus S.

There is no comma on the Nexus S keyboard. This fact may seem minor but it really shows that Google did not do enough to satisfy its text messenger audience who may pass on this phone according to Tech Radar. The text wrapping on the internet browser is also inadequate. This flaw could have been easily overlooked for it not for the simplicity of providing a next gen text editor for heavy users of its web browsing section. The price is high for this phone [$199 on contract, $529 unlocked] unless you are deadly serious about constant usage on the Verizon network. This is the phone of the future. But it, at this point is far from perfect. Perhaps Google fans will look over the many little flaws and succumb to the power of the network and the Android app store which is fully stocked with apps of all kinds.
The Android community is not liking the specs on the nexus s. Ok, Nexus S did not blow me away, but ChromeOS notebooks do find a place in between those who may already own the Apple iPhone but do not yet need a new phone.
