Anyone seen any sales numbers on the Nexus S yet ?
If they were flying off the shelf I'd think we'd have seen some press on it by now.
I'm guessing the sales figures are underwhelming.
Maybe thats why the Nexus One is still lonely for Gingerbread ?

Well if the sales figures are down I think it is because people can't see past the no 4G thing and no SD card. The no 4G doesn't even matter because the Nexus S does 4G speeds. And 16GB of memory is enough memory for anyone. They just need to see that 4G doesn't matter because it is the same on a 3G Nexus S or a 4G MyTouch.

Well not for anyone. But for the average user. But then again whoever wants a Nexus S usually is not the average user.

And that my friend was Googles mistake.
They made a niche phone that not even many N1
owners want.
Most N1 owners expected a lot more from the NS than what actually happened.
I know I did.

I know what you mean. But sometimes if you use a lot of space you have to learn to try to limit the amount of space you use. 16GB is a lot and I doubt even a non-average user will fill it up. I am a non-average user and it still is a lot for me. A lot of times if you have more than 16GB of stuff on your phone a lot of the stuff that is in there is stuff that you don't use and it won't hurt to delete it. You have to learn to take the junk out of your phone.

The no SD card thing is definitely a "whatchu talking bout Willis" moment.
But no way to move the curser was the dumbest thing IMHO.
Whose idea was it to leave the track pad off anyways ?
If we wanted a stupid Iphone we'd buy one, know what I mean ?
We are Androids, not iclones.

Oh yeah I still have problems with that because I came from a Hero with a trackball. It doesn't bother anymore. Hey at least we have 4 touch sensitive buttons. The iPhone, iPad, and iPod only have one and I hate that. I want to go back and I always push the home button.

I'm guessing you haven't used Gingerbread yet? I used to use the trackball a lot for cursor navigation on my Nexus One. The only thing I honestly miss about it since getting the Nexus S, is it's notification feature.

You guessed wrong.
I had an NS for 7 disappointing days before I returned it.
No track pad and the fact that its barely an upgrade
From the N1 made it not worth a two year contract.
