That's just the world of smartphones, sadly.
As an old Blackberry user, this doesn't surprise me at all.. But from looking at the specs of the Nexus S and the SGS, there's really not a major difference.. I definitely won't be losing sleep over it

Well...here's the problem.. Nexus S doesn't really feel like an upgrade from Galaxy S.
1. Bluetooth 3.0 becomes Bluetooth 2.1
2. moviNAND becomes iNAND
3. No microSD card slot
4. No 720p video recording
Of course there are some good things with the Nexus S
1. Android 2.3 and software support from Google (No more Samsung!)
2. Contour Display
3. Near Field Communications (NFC)
4. Three-axis gyroscope
5. Anti-fingerprint display coating
6. Flash for camera
7. Maybe better GPS
However, to me, the only real advantage with Nexus S is software support (and GPS if it's true). Hardware-wise, Nexus S is not as good as Galaxy S. I think the best would be the Nexus S rom gets ported to Galaxy S.

put it this way... the G1 runs 2.2, we walk on the moon, we give millions of dollars to Justin Bieber, Obama got elected (had to)
Anything is possible.
Leaked specs show it to be just another Galaxy S phone but with Gingrbread. Also, since it has support for T-Mobile's AWS bands, the modem should probably work, too. It's basically the Vibrant but with a front-facing camera (which we can mod in anyways). I'll be shocked if there isn't a port within days of the Nexus S being released. And hell, Samsung and T-Mo should make the damn firmware downloadable to us! (OK, that last part will never happen...well, not officially

http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/11/google-nexus-s-is-the-samsung-gt-i9020/
I mean, this is the exact same phone we have but with the front-facing camera installed.
So can we get the rear camera to work with no banding with some firmware from this being ported over? I think that's the best thing of porting over some stuff from this phone.

Not directly @donut, but...
The point of it being a NEXUS is that it is the most open phone. The nexus is the android development phone. It is pure android with all support coming straight from google! Everyone should hope this is not just a rumour. This would hopefully get us 2.3 & more on the fast track.
Of course there are specifics that may not translate but here's to hoping : cheers:!

Well said. The phone is real. All we need is to confirm the hardware is exactly the same (except the camera part). If the hardware is the same, that makes things easier. As the ROM chefs/devs here have shown, porting is doable among Galaxy S phones with the hardware being so similar.
I honestly think we will get gingerbread before froyo

I particularly love the feeling of blissful relief when you dump it and use another launcher.
I hate Touchwiz as much as the next guy, but I can still be civilized and answer a question.
Most likely you can get Touchwiz for the Nexus S, perhaps you need to wait until the Galaxy S phones get Ginger or so, but it should be possible.

Be more specific as to what these "features" are that you want to have from touch wiz.
i hate touchwiz and the sgs. why is samsung making such amazing hardware feeling so slow by letting some monkeys make software! i sold my sgs and hope to see the nexus s in my handys soon.
Agreed.I'm sure this port will be easy. But touchwiz is awful. I just hope they didn't cripple it with RFS. that would be my main question. If it does have RFS ITS likely as horrible as the rest of the galaxy phones. Trust me, I have a captivate and fascinate. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the hardware just hate the software

TouchWiz has already been ported, you can find the apk and the music apk in the desire forum. They were made by ephumuris. They should work on the Nexus S
I wish the vibrant would have cool features like the new SGS II is going to have.

Do you think the devs will be able to bring some of these features to the vibrant/I9000?
Looks like its using the accelerometer. It could happen if we have a touchwiz 4 port.

Yes, Samsung has told this before, not really a "news"...
But hey, thanks to CM we will get in touch with ICS soon (or now if you want to use an alpha version), so there is no reason to worry about samsungs decision
That's complete bull from Samsung. They're own problem that they put touchwiz on the phone, and the default interface of ICS is much better. Poor, poor excuse.
Yes we have less ram, but why is it working 98% perfect on my phone already?

At least they admitted that samsung developers are lousy and cannot optimize crappy TW for hardware will less RAM. So pathetic!
Still would go for a Samsung hardware phone, they're really good. Just a shame they won't be updating their older phones - which they are under no commitment to actually update.

i would like to just point out that not upgrading the SGS line of devices to ICS because of TW or some crap like that is not the right way to go Samsung. You have pooor coders we know that but leaving out the flagship phone (sold over 15Million, LOT OF MONEY) is just plain BS. if you are not gonna upgrade it then GIVE US THE PROPRIETARY DRIVERS for RIL and CAMERA and our devs will do it themselves!!! Mind you that after this fiasco i am not buying (and also whoever i know) another samsung product again. Dont tell me you dont recognize the force of xda members as a community.

Amen to that
If at least Failsung will release the source so the devs can keep making more stuff for our beloved phone!
Isn't there anyone powerful enough here on XDA to bring this to the attention of Samsung? We have a powerful community here and the Galaxy S was a flagship device!
Listen, Samsung; we don't care about Touchwiz. Just give us vanilla ICS! That's all we want!!!!! Our phone can EASILY handle it!!!!
They admitted TW is memory hog and is simply slowing down our phones. Get rid of that quick.
