Just ordered a black one from mobilecity online! Did one day shipping so hoping to receive Monday/Tuesday! Can't wait...first android phone!
Loving this phone! So unproductive at work today! All I can do is play with it! Any recommendations for first time android user on apps/recommended keyboard (enjoying gingerbread one)/tweaks to phone?
I have already set an all black wallpaper as I hear that is best with battery on amoled screens.
Question:
I see that everyone is loving their Nexus S i9020A from Negri which is great. I have one little concern. Is this the Canadian version or the US version with Samsung USA warranty? In other words can any warranty issues be handled by Samsung USA?
If it is the official US version why hasn't Best Buy picked it up which is the only official retailer. Also there is no mention of the i9020a on the US Nexus portal. Corrections welcomed. This is my understanding.
I prefer Swiftkey, it's by far the best keyboard i have found. And the word prediction is amazing. Swype is also pretty good, but i definitely don't like it as much as Swiftkey.
Some other apps that are essential to me.
Adobe flash
Handcent SMS
Beautiful Widgets
LED Light
Amazon App Store
Pandora
Pulse
PlayerPro
Astro
LauncherPro
Miren Browser
I have the exact same questions and when I spoke with Negri they told me they are US versions. When I pressed, they said they were purchased directly from Samsung USA. Not sure about that but I ordered one anyway.
Guess I'll find out. But with some reporting issues with YouTube, etc. something might not be gelling with the software version/build/kernel and at&t
Thanks I will check them out!
Also been reading about noled online...does anyone here use that?
I tried it for a little while, but i really didn't like it. It used a lot of battery and drastically slowed down my phone. I am using a custom kernel with BLN (Back Light Notifications) and it has been awesome. But i definitely don't recommend it if you don't know much about rooting/hacking your device.
Thanks...I was debating on putting CM7 on my device as soon as I turned it on so I didn't have to worry about configuring apps twice, but figured since it's my first android device I'll leave it stock for a little. Love that wifi hotspot is enabled by default!
2 noob rooting questions:
1. When you put a custom rom on with backup software do settings carry over or do you have to reconfigure all apps
2. If on a custom rom and 2.3.4 releases can you update?

will bestbuy eventually get a hold of this phone and sell it for a few bucks cheaper??? i cant justify spending $600 on a PHONE currently... or how long before negri begins to sell it cheaper??
I was just contacted by case company for the Nexus S and they some how tracked me down on XDA (saying I am a recognized memeber). I found it a little odd because I am not a developer but I am a part of XDA when it comes to rooting and etc. Anyways, they want reviewers and to be able to boost their 1st generation cases for the Nexus S. Offered me to choose one from their site and ship it to me for free. I will provide the link once I receive feedback and the case itself.
Also, I have found a white hard rubberized case (almost like a feather case from Incipio) for the Nexus S on PDair.com.
