Google Launches Nexus S Phone In UK and US
siliconbits writes "Google has made its second bid for a slice of the mobile phone market, with the launch of its Nexus S phone. The Samsung-built device comes less than 12 months after the launch of the firm's Nexus One, built by HTC, which failed to win over many consumers. The Nexus S will initially be launched in the UK and US, and will be available 'from the end of the month'."
...it's just a re-badged Galaxy S. So those of us with GT-i9000s, Captivates, and Vibrants can basically expect every future version of Android within days of the source release.
Ahah!
Oh, you were serious.
Look, it's Samsung. Don't expect any updates on time. In fact, don't expect any updates at all and you'll live happier.
That's very good news, since last I heard Samsung had sold over 8 million Galaxy S devices so far.
Yes, and they're already sold, meaning they already got your money and now they'd rather you buy the next one on the line.
I feel your pain. I bought the original Galaxy. It had one very late update to 1.6 when everyone else was upgrading to 2.1.
Your best bet is to either get a phone which somehow gathered community support around it, or get one of the Google supported "Nexus" devices.
I'm probably getting this one someday, it just pains me to be giving money to Samsung.
