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

Photo and video below par, no microSD card slot
If you’re looking for a plain and simple Android experience, the Nexus S is the route to go. It offers Android Gingerbread without all the bells and whistles of a customised interface offered on other manufacturers' phones. It’s not a basic phone in an...

Pure Android experience for tweakers, Nice bundled earphones, and good music performance, The phone is fast and responsive, Very frequent patches and updates
A number of small usability-affecting glitches are present, Battery life isn't as good as expected, As a phone, we found the ringer and vibration system too weak, incoming calls get easily missed
