Getting a nexus s 4g

Hello all I have a samsung epic and will be getting a nexus s 4g. I just wantedto introduce my self and say hello to all and hope to learn from all you like I did from a lot of guys on the epic forum. I did have one question tho. Does the nexus play good with Mac? Or is it like the epic to where heimdal won't recognize the phone.? I hope u guys welcome me with open arms and can't wait to hop on this awesome divice. Thanks.

What's up guys! Esteway, you will learn a whole new way to root install recovery etc. Once you get cwm on board just go about flashing as normal. Shabbypenguin made a one click root to make it easier but its almost too easy

I just made the same switch and am happy with the phone. Rooting is a bit trickier at first but fastboot is quite cool and easy to use. Read the rooting instructions carefully.... I scared myself a few times. You won't need odin or heimdall anymore.

GTA Not Showing Up In Market

When it was first released I found it , purchased it and downloaded it but I think I ended up upgrading to the cm9 alpha rom and now I can't find it anywhere I even tried installing chainfire 3d with no luck. For some odd reason it is showing up on my wife's evo 4g with my google account through the market. I have tried different ics roms as well as different gingerbread roms still nothing. Does anyone have any idea or something I'm missing and does this game even work on our phones yet?

Free 7" Tablet From Sprint!

Hey, it's not a Nexus 7...but not bad for free!
Buy a Sprint Phone get a ZTE Optik Tablet for FREE

Not a bad tablet for free, although I imagine they will make you get a data contract for it. It has the same display the Nexus 7 has, a 1280x800 at 7". Only downside is its running HC which is still much better than GB on a tablet. Although XDA has a fix for that as there appears to be unofficial CM9/CM10 builds out there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1629630

It leoks nice I checked instorw

I believe theres a data plan contract tied to it,some sites are confirming this

So not free...man

Locked out of nexus

So I let my nephew play with my nexus and somehow he and his friend managed somehow to put a device password I'm guessing?
So now I can't boot into my ROM. Its in a whole different language asking for a pass code. Boot into recovery asks for a pass code as well and I can't view any content.
Best work around for this?
Suggestions please?

And of course they dont know the password and don't know how they did it. -_-

I just visited NIST where they have the atomic clock. They actually have Masers, not lasers, that shoot microwave pulses that help define time.
