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

The Samsung Nexus S Google phone isn't for everyone. Here in the US it's a solid choice on T-Mobile, but I'd pass for use on AT&T since it lacks AT&T's 3G bands. We expect support and hardware exchanges to be much smoother vs. the Nexus One since Best...
Absolutely beautiful display; front-facing camera for video calling; offers the latest version of Android (2.3).What's Bad: Plastic build quality may turn off prospective buyers; battery takes too long to charge. The Verdict: The Google Nexus S is a feature-packed, high-end "Google Experience" phone that should please many. That said, it's not as far ahead of the curve as the Nexus One was when
