There's nothing to write home about when it comes to the camera on the Google Nexus S. Quality is distinctly average
With images lacking clarity
And colours are also lacking in vibrancy. It's worth looking elsewhere if you want a decent camera phone.
Android 2.3 offers few advantages over Froyo right now
NFC capability currently has limited thirdparty support
