The Official "I Got My Nexus S" Thread

[kalex]

I use goSMS Pro and it is great. If you are coming from a pre I might suggest getting wave launcher. It is an app that recreates WebOS's wave launcher.

picked mine up this afternoon! awesome phone. forgot what switching apps/screens was like without lag. the horrors of a pre- running 1ghz.

It should be powerful enough to last you for two years if you wait that long. I'm not sure why everything thinks these phones are not powerful enough. What are you people doing with these phones? Go for the nexus s. If you don't like you can always return.

Haha yea def because of my Pre I've been looking for the most future proof phone. But yea I def think I'm gonna go with the nexus s4g. Been looking at it in sprint.com all day. Haha. Can't wait for my contract to be done so I can finally buy this thing.

Got mine this afternoon.

Impressed with the speed and the screen looks great.

Surprising misses I wasn't expecting:
No IMAP Push, can only check every x minutes
No facebook contact sync

I was really hoping I wouldn't have to root and tweak this things to death but I probably will end up having to after all...

FYI, Wave launcher conflicted with LauncherPro on my Nexus, i had to uninstall Wave.

It also makes the space bar malfunction on smart keyboard. Sorry to be off topic

God I hate these signatures

Warning...this will mess up ur ability to hit any button at the bottom of the screen at or near the gesture area. I uninstalled after getting frustrated with that glitch. U could probably work around this by changing the gesture settings within the app...

Yeah all you have to do is go into the settings and change it to start the gesture from right to left instead of bottom to top

I'm pretty jealous, waiting for reviews

It's so nice being able to see my screen in the sunlight. Hated that about my evo. This phone rocks.

Are you able to see the screen well in the sunlight?

I took a look at the demo nexus in the store and was less impressed with the screen than I expected. My wife's Evo was much brighter than the Nexus. I was quite surprised.

Thats because the auto brightness was on. With it off, the Nexus is plenty bright. The screen is a million times better than my Evo's ever was.

The screen is definitely viewable in sunlight I'm using it right now.

 

[fixxxer1022]

still didn't get mine today. we called best buy and it's suppose to be shipped today overnighted. i should get it in the next few days, if not there will be heck to pay. i guess it's cool since there is no shipping on sundays.

How is the Nexus S? What makes the google phone better than others?

 

[piaband]

for those of us waiting on our nexus phones, how do you turn off auto-brightness?

Hit the menu button/settings/display/brightness/uncheck auto brightness

I'm new here and just picked up my new Nexus S from Sprint! I'm switching from a Blackberry Curve and I'm ashamed it took me this long to switch to an Android phone

Anyone know of any good screen protectors and cases for this phone? I like the Otterboxes but noticed that they don't have one for the Nexus S so any suggestions would be helpful.
