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.

A new android device for a sexy blonde

A lady friend of mine wants to ditch her iPhone and cum party with the android boys.
HD2 is an obvious suggestion, but I think its a bit geeky for her. I will probably put cyanogen on it for her, but that will be it; no flashing new roms every week.
So what would you guys recommend? Front runners at the moment are :
Nexus S
White desire
PS in the uk

You can be sure of a lot of attention with that topic
Don't use any android flashed device for your sexy blonde, Iphone is more sexy, but indeed less geeky

The Nexus S is by far the sexiest Android device and currently the best on the market IMO,
I'd get a Nexus S.
The second sexiest device ever IMO is the Nexus One, which is actually better in some ways because it can run Sense.
so you might get a Nexus One, root it, flash a stable DHD ROM and you're good to go. remember that along with the awesome things it has to offer, it also has the multi-color lighted track ball, my girlfriend is crazy about that aspect of her Nexus.

Haha, thanks for replies.
I think its a bit silly to buy iPhone 4 now with the update so close. Also iPhones are significantly more expensive (buying similar free)
Also considering desire s.
I wonder if its worth the extra money getting the nexus s when you can get an original desire and put cyanogen on it.
Will deliver pics with purchase....

I have to say, for stock user experience, the best android phone you can get is the nexus s. So far there have been no "big" problems with it, atleast currently.
However I think for overall satisfaction, i'd go for the galaxy s. If rooted and with lagfixes/tweaks and flashed a custom rom, the phone is a really nice and smooth.
However one thing i'd say about the HD2 is it's so hackable, you can try WP7, winmo or android, all on one phone. The experience might not be as good as a true android/WP7 device, but it's good enough for daily use. Plus I think it has a top of the class 5MP camera. Atleast it performs alot better than the captivate i'm using right now.

Linkage of said lady friend?

How does everyone like this phone

I currently have a EVO 3d and I would like to know what you like and dislike about the phone and is it worth the switch

I like it lots and lots and lots and sometimes when i use an IPhone or a HTC Sensation i like it even more .I really like being able to talk to people by pressing a few numbers not sure if it will catch on though .

Had mine for the grand total of 4 days...so far i can't fault it. I upgraded from my zte blade, and this is just awesome!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

Well comparing it to the evo3d it basically has better specs plus hw acceleration which is a very nice feature. The screen is awesome imo, tho some people don't seem to like the oversaturated colours. Personally i love it but you have to check it yourself before you decide.
Anyway i wouldn't upgrade right now if i were you, you still have a very good phone, just wait for something newer and better, like the quadcores expected to come out in 2012

My first Android and like this so much. Even after using it for three months I still couldn't make it work the way I'd like, but still its not bad. Frankly, I'd be more happy if this device had iOS instead of Android.

If this phone had IOS instead of Android id sell it, IOS is nowhere near as good as Android, everything works out of the box but your strictly limited in what you can do,i hate restriction.

Best phone right now without a doubt, having owned it since May it's been excellent! Pervious Android device was the DHD, it's faster, smoother and slicker!

Fastest android phone out there, but build quality could be better.

tbh the only phone that could probably knock the sgs2 off it's perch is the motorola atrix.. bigger battery and tegra 2, but then i've never used one so i have no idea about user experience.

Hello My very post here. Best phone I ever owned. it would have been perfect if it was a tegra Device can't see why they did that for a flagship Device !!!!

You will miss sense. Htc phones have better dialer, more useful widgets, like for example favorite contacts and rss reader, better sms delivery report, lockscreen and ringtone volume management. On other side Sgs2 has better multimedia support (mkv) better screen and weight, brilliant call quality and its very smooth in menus.

Yeah... I was gonna port it yesterday during my math class. I've practiced porting random sdk versions so i could be ready for ics. I downloaded all the files I needed, then I saw armv7a in the name of the folder the system.img was in. I was worried so I examined it anyway. Built for a cpu that we don't have I went into that class excited, came out disappointed

May look sophisticated yet it lacks a nice theme. After a while of use I believe it would get boring and very fast at that.

Probably not cheaper than free... thats what the G1 is to most of us... I agree its not worth buying now, but if you already own it, why not see what we can do with it.

well, free because we've moved on and its just sitting there collecting dust. Honestly though, I don't care to run ics on it either, the new features aren't of any use to the g1, so it really would just be for the theming which they could do.
rather than ICS I'd like to see other uses for these phones... I was using mine as a little boxee remote for a while... But I'd like to see more single use roms that are streamlined for some single purposes (like media pc remotes, c64 or ibm pc emulators (on bootup), carpc (probably too small for that), whatever...)

I was porting ICS to HD2, but there is something weird going on with surface flinger libs & binaries and dalvik-vm.. You can't de-odex the files with baksmali..
