    me too - I have an Iphone 4 and I'm kinda tired of Iphones, been using one since the 2g days - and since the 5 sounds quite underwhelming and the review of the Galaxy 2 from engadget was extremely positive I'm thinking it may be time...

    Yes and coming from an obvious apple cock sucking review site, that says something. I'm looking forward to it, but I'm not due for an upgrade of my SGS until Feb.

    I have the nexus and will be switching to the SGS2 when it is released.
    The Engadget review make me want a SGS2. Especially on the new AMOLED screen. The one on Nexus S is grainy compared to iP4 but color is way better.

    But sounds like SGS2 is getting released with 2.3.3. While Nexus owners get to enjoy 2.3.4 at least a few months ahead of other droid users.

    You are definitely right. I'm liking it more and more now.

    now I just wish there was a decent case for it.

    I put the invisible shield on it and wow do i hate it.

    hey guys, i'm about to finally upgrade my phone (old ass sony ericsson).. have you guys experienced any problems with the Nexus S? I heard there were some call-dropping issues and random restarting.

    My one week on WIND has been solid (when on home network) about 400mins so far.

    Bad when roam, I wonder if Rogers is cock blocking WIND phones.

    Watch your apps, some are buggy.

    Where'd you find the call timer?? I took a quick peek at mine and couldn't find it

    In a round about way. Call log got exported to McAfee Wavesecure and I download the log and added the time.

    It's lame that there isn't a timer on the phone. Nor is there any apps that will do that from my search.

    The Rogers app tells me everything I could possibly want to know about my phone usage....

    Was just wondering as I was told I could only have 15 mins of talk time or less if I wanted to return it, but if the phone doesn't track it - how would they know?

    I dont think there is a life timer in android but i could be wrong. I doubt they will even check anyways. If they have some code to punch in the dailer to check a reflash back to factory would erase that data anyways.

    Future shop told me that there was a talk time limit, I returned a phone, they never checked. They would have to call and check, then just tell them you used it as a pda only, can't prove you talked on it.

    So I received OTA update for 2.3.4 but it failed. It didn't brick my phone but I had to do a battery pull reset.

    Anyone seen that on their Nexus?

    How does it even show up?? I haven't seen any indication of an OTA update thus far and am wondering what to expect.

    Just like normal message. It said I have update and started, then 1/2 way thru, a big exclamation mark and phone is frozen.

    Everything came back after reset and still on 2.3.3.

    Have been reading a few things about it but have not dug too deep yet.

    The official Nexus S site redirect to Samsung US site for support and the Canadian support site doesn't even have Nexus S for support registration yet.
