First Nexus S review

**TuxDotKing** · 12-06-2010, 02:24 PM

The Nexus S gets a glowing review from the guys over at TechCrunch, who claim to have had and been using the device for the past few days. Here's the link:

What do you guys think?

First review I've ever seen that doesn't have pictures of the device that was "reviewed." Or much information that you couldn't get from the official releases.

I have my doubts as well, but I thought I'd share it anyway.

That's exactly what I thought when first looking at it.

Anyway I am waiting to see how it rates in other reviews.

Lol...Phil is calling TechCrunch out. TechCrunch your turn for your rebuttal.

I thought the same exact thing when I read it this morning.

From official Nexus S site:

Connectivity

Quad-band GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900
Tri-band HSPA: 900, 2100, 1700
HSPA type: HSDPA (7.2Mbps) HSUPA (5.76Mbps)

AT&T uses 850 & 1900 3G bands, so no AT&T love on the Nexus S (yet).

I dont think the nexus S has the wow factor like the nexus one did i mean a "pure" google phone is always good but im just saying i kinda feel liike its a galaxy S phone

It pretty much is a Galaxy S phone. which makes it that much worse that most of the other Galaxy S phones don't even have (official) froyo yet.

Outside the US they do, officially. Or like here in Japan, launched WITH 2.2 out of the box.

Ohhhh yay...the Nexus S! Hey Samsung...where the heck is Froyo on my Fascinate?

The Engadget review this morning was somewhat better though still preview. But many photos and a short video. I'm sure the reviews will all trickle in eventually even on here at Android Central.

I think when we all get 2.3 on our Nexus One models, we'll feel better. But if it's slow as molasses we'll be crying here in the forums.
