18th - Nexus S and Gingerbread

Earlier this year, Google released a phone called the Nexus One. This phone was supposed to be the "iPhone Killer" but ended up being taken off the markets a few months after release. This failure was due to google's weird online only sales methods. However, now Google is back, with a new phone, named Nexus S. One of the biggest things about this phone is that it is supposedly equipped with the new version of Android: 2.3 (Gingerbread) A preview of this new phone just appeared online a little less than an hour ago on CNET.

One of the biggest flaws I noticed about this phone is that even though it is such a new phone (not even released yet!) it is still not compatible with 4G. Considering that 4G has been out for so long ( even though its not widely spread) the sole existence of it makes 4G compatibility a must  have for any new phone, especially one that is High-End like the Nexus S. What do you guys think? Is the lack of 4G capability going to make a big difference? or do you think that it doesn't matter.

  1. That seems to be the problem now. Everyone is ready to go 4g but phone companies still haven't gotten over 3g yet.

  2. Yeah, i found it weird this didn't support T-mobiles new HSPA+ network. Anyway, the fact that this comes with a stock android build (without any unnecessary manufacturer skins), and is the first phone to be pushed android updates is good enough for me.
