GingerBread is HOT!

[dhan_shh]

Nexus-S,my recent purchase looks awesome,

After some gap of time,I'm back with Android,this time with speedy nexus,

Slim,light-weight,plasticky Nexus-S with briliant display looks really cute,

Overall response is pretty quick,I hope battery life will be taken care by 'Gingerbread',

I hope most of the apps will be compatible,




Package resembles iphone,simple contents,NO memory slot is a drawback,



I will write a detailed review soon,

Soon,many friends will join 'GingerBread' for sharing views!

Thanks for all,

Got it for 33K (very expensive,from my regular dealer,Adyar Chennai),

I was flattered by the light-weight,breezy UI and crisp display!

Slowly working on it,no time for Cam,




Browser is good,



Installed some basic apps,




Battery needs some more time to analyze the life,

Mails are good,BUT unfortunately you cannot pinch zoom your mails???!!!! surprised!

NFC chip added,I don't know how to use it,need to analyze it!

Needs more time for assessment,

I hope more friends join this Nexus S Club (I think its available in grey in main towns/cities)

kewl which dealer in adyar, my office is in adyar only, can we install lots of apps like we can do in froyo? What is the main USP of gingerbread over froyo?

without objects (smart posters etc) and NFC enabled devices (phones, laptops etc), you can't do much and it will take a while.

Nexus S official launch in India early feb?

[abhidev]

Dude 33k is too costly man....i thought it will be priced at 24k and so did some of the other sites quoted.Also its 23k in ebay.
If its gonna be 33k then man...its out of my list...will wait for galaxy 2 and LG dual core phones...also ARC is gonna be arnd 30-35k.

From phonearena: "Samsung is rumored to launch the Nexus S smartphone during February in India. Sadly, this handset will come with the Super Clear LCD display instead of the original Super AMOLED display. We have already posted that, Nexus S with Super AMOLED display will be available only in US and UK"

[dhan_shh]

@oval_man,thank you!

Except for sunlight legibility,there won't be much difference between super amoled & sclcd.

I've added few wallpapers (live),looking really good!




Got my favourite app: Piano - really awesome!




I've never come across any sms sending error,but anyhow,I've manually updated latest update from Google,....2.3.2




Except for occasional hanging homescreen,overall the performance is really good!

[abhidev]

So yours is AMOLED or LCD??

[dhan_shh]

^^^Not sure!

I think "iPhone 5" will look like this????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!




"iClone" makes my NEX S look like this!

"iClone" makes my NEX S look like this!

don't make people ask you if it's a chinese iPhone (airphone, bphone etc etc). There are better themes that are tailor made for android. use them

[dhan_shh]

^^^I've compared only for the screen size 4" vs 3.5"

LG optimus 2X widget is around here,looks cool



But,it eats 12MB of memory,no transfer to SD card.....! hmm...Fancy Widget pro is better and consumes less memory 3MB.

Battery Life of Nex-S is definitely not upto the mark,once a day charging is a must even with very nominal usage.....Oh!...C'mon Android!....Where is my Power???

Stats look prominent only on screen (pic taken on my 2nd day with Nex-S)

[gagan007]

what are you saying!!!battery doesn't last a day even on moderate usage?
I was planning to get this from US...I am okay with no memory card slot..but if battery life also suck..then there is not much point in purchasing it..

[dhan_shh]

^^^battery life is very average,don't expect more from Nex-S!

Got my "Honeycomb Wallpaper,live" looks awesome!@




Many new apps...Android Market is flooding now!

Battery Doctor looks promising!




More to come............!

[abhidev]

can u pls specify how much exactly is the battery life.....

[NIGHTMARE]

@dhan_shh Congrats mate

[dhan_shh]

^^^^thanks nightmare!
