The Google Nexus S
2/02/2011
New1Mobile9
The Google Nexus S just dropped by the New1Mobile9 Network today.
As you might already know, the Google Nexus S is very similar to the Galaxy S, and also manufactured by Samsung. The Android smartphone comes with a LED flash on the 5 Megapixel shooter, and does not have a micro SD slot. It does however, come with a built-in memory of 16GB, which may be sufficient for a lot of people. There is also the infamous contour display, which makes handling the phone better, although only slightly. The device has a 1Ghz Hummingbird processor, with a 4 inch Super AMOLED screen, with all the usual bells and whistles, including A-GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, 3G and so on and so forth. It does not however have a 4G receiver, and nor does it have any HDMI out port.

Nexus One is one of the worst tech fail of 2010
12/31/2010
New1Mobile9
Guess who else made it to CNN’s top ten tech fail of the year 2010? Nexus One. But the question which arises is this, does the first Google branded handset deserve to be in top tech failures list. Before we answer this question, I think it makes sense to determine why CNN chose to include Nexus One in the not so proud list of failures, in which iPhone 4 antennagate leads the sinking ship.
Nexus One’s name was taken because of the unusual sales model (sell online) that Google adopted :

Nexus S is a Weak Phone
12/20/2010
New1Mobile9
Just came across a review posted by Business Insider in which they share their experience of using Nexus S. The final verdict was not that good as you would have sensed from the title of the post. And based on the reasons they gave plus my own take on the phone, I don’t blame them for terming the Gingerbread flagship phone as a weak phone.
Business Insider aren’t impressed by the hardware that Nexus S possesses and had this to say:

12/19/2010
New1Mobile9
Yesterday, we shared with you the news of Nexus One getting a Gingerbread port. If you recall that post completely, the AOSP based Gingerbread port was in its early or should I say basic stage, as it didn’t have functional apps and required you to have hboot verison 35.0017. Well, thinks have just gotten better thanks to XDA Developer MicroMod777, who has posted a Gingerbread AOSP build that is rooted, has the Google Apps and doesn’t have any hboot version requirement.
