My B version rom is based on the 2.3.4 Android version, but take a a look at the updates since then:

v2.3.4
Version 2.3.4 introduced support for voice or video chat using Google Talk.[41]

[edit]v2.3.5
Released on 25 July 2011, Android 2.3.5 included a number of system enhancements:[42]

Improved network performance for the Nexus S 4G, among other fixes and improvements
Fixed Bluetooth bug on Samsung Galaxy S
Improved Gmail application
Shadow animations for list scrolling
Camera software enhancements
Improved battery efficiency

[edit]v2.3.6
Released on 2 September 2011, this version fixed a voice search bug. The 2.3.6 update had the side-effect of impairing the Wi-Fi hotspot functionality of many Canadian Nexus S phones. Google acknowledged this problem and fixed it in late September.[43][44]

[edit]v2.3.7
Android 2.3.7 introduced Google Wallet support for the Nexus S 4G.

It looks like it's worth looking into to see what version of android the C and D updates are, or compiling a kernel somehow based on those newer versions of android to reap some benefit.
 
Was looking at that the other day...due to the Samsung Admire having a 2.3.6 update. Spending so much time on trying to correct a rebooting issue is definately depriving us of this phones full potential. Update three allready...sad very sad you know:banghead:
 
the kernel version didnt change. ;) looking at the B and C kernel src there were only a few code patches added to the C's src.
