You’ll have to excuse my Android fanboyism during this piece. The fact of the matter is, I had been trying to track down a Nexus S since the first day that it got confirmed. So when I finally got the notification this past Monday that one was headed my way, I was excited beyond anything that you’ve seen outside of an Apple store the night before a new iPhone.
You see, when the Nexus One came around, people talked it up like it was something that the world had never seen before. Fortunately, at least in some respects, it was. It was the first pure Android device, it was built on a great handset and it carved the way into the future for the Android releases up to and including FroYo. I had high hopes for its successor, the Samsung-built Nexus S. Would they be fulfilled?
Not entirely.
It’s important to understand that I was reasonably impressed with the Galaxy S line of phones. Though the Nexus S has some marked differences, there are some very striking similarities as well. If you’ve used Verizon’s Galaxy S, branded as the Samsung Fascinate, then you’ve essentially held a phone that feels very similar. There should be some pretty significant differences, though, given the OS.
