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

I tried your ROM. It was good.work and everything but for some reasons scrolling in launchers wasnt smooth and also i didnt like the animations too much. I will try v4 when it comes out, however.

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.

TouchWiz port?

Would it be possible to port TouchWiz to the Neuxs S? Since the galaxy line and the Nexus S have similar hardware.

Good God, why?

There are some features I like in TouchWiz and I was going to get a Epic 4G before this was announced so I just want to toy with the firmware.

WTF, get a Vibrant if you want crapwiz!

I just looove TouchWiz.
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

Sweet... from vibrant to mytouch4g to nexus s to galaxy 2. If its really got a dual core Sammy processor then we are talking Orion? If this baby comes out by summer then that best buy buy back insurance is going to be pretty nice!
I love my sns on cyanogen but really miss all the great codecs etc. Team whiskey really made the vibrant special. I hate touchwhiz but ifs easier to remove most of the bad with that and keep all the good with guys like team whiskey and supercurio than it is to try to hack all of it back in. You get a permenant rfs fix and get rid of the overlay and everything's flying high! The sns seems to have a better screen than my vibrant did in all areas save for the gorilla glass. Can't even imagine a samoled without pentile, its going to be amazing! Wonder how that Orion's going to card against qualcomm and Tegra2... gpu will definitely be nice at the very least. Qualcomm will probably always own the linpack scores but a phone is so much better than that. Lets hope by then gingerbread gets hardware enabled browsing...

I have a Note and almost all those have been ported/pulled. Take a trip to the i717 forums and see if the pulled .APKs work.

The galaxy s1 had Ports that were crazy coming from the vibrant I know with experience. I guess its difficult with so few devs or I don't know. The vibrant was truly a sublime experience. Too bad that carrier phones don't get good specs or source codes or updates for that matter or this phone would be as fun as the nexus or the international s2. But hey we get burned by the American market every time. If we could get universal technology it would be a bigger market all together.
