Nexus S version 2? What is this?

[voghan]

Any chance this is a hardware replacement for the current Nexus s? Maybe the rebooting issue is a manufacturing defect. Something they can't fix via software. Maybe they are getting out in front if this in a hurry? It seems too bizarre to come out with another Nexus S weeks after the first was released.

Oh I know! It is probably the European Version. The reason it had to go through the FCC again is because the European version will not have a S-Amoled it will have a S-LCD. It will have some differences but not a lot. Just enough for it to have to go through the FCC again.

Did people not read my post on page 2. It IS the european version...

How could this be for T-mobile? Its missing the 2100 band, which is what all HSPA+ smartphones on T-mobile use, in addition to 1700. This could NOT be an HSPA+ smartphone for T-mobile without the 2100 band.

I think they refer to UMTS band IV as 1700 mhz, which uses 1700 for uplink (reverse channel) and 2100 for downlink (forward channel). There are a couple other UMTS bands referred to as 1700 though (IX for example), so this isn't certain to be the case.

Well, that was fun while it lasted.

Why does a European phone have to go through the FCC?

Awwww snapppppp. Can we vote this up as a reply of the year somehow?

You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.

This is one of the downsides to android and it's really getting old. All this fragmentation and releasing new phones every month is ****ing over the consumer.

I completely agree. I think they should focus more on maximizing the the experiences of the phone out now, as opposed to releasing a new phone every month. I know its all about the money for these companies but damn I'm almost tired of reading about it and the phones are way too similar. Starting to remind me of blackberry.

For years phones never even intended for the us go thru f c c testing. It's just been that way forever.

The very thing I thought when I saw the article on AC's front page... *scratch head*

So is this AT&T 3g compatible? Conflicting posts throughout this thread..

They would HAVE to register it on the 2100 band too though. The phone that went through the FCC didn't show 2100 as a band that it would be using. That fact alone means that this cannot be for T-mobile in the US.

It could be what the HTC Desire was to the Nexus One. A "Samsung" released phone of the Nexus S with more features and "4G." Of course, this will mean it'll have OEM skins and bloatware.

Very possible.

I agree with all the people saying that this is probably a European Nexus S. Maybe it has different screen which would explain the change in the model number. It most likely went through the FCC so that it could be used or sold here just in case T-mobile might want it.

I'm so sick of samsung, isn't it obvious that it only gives super amoled to nexus s and releases super amoled plus less than a month after.not to mention its stupid logo behind ns.
