But look at the bright side: it has never been a better selection of cell phones really great. In fact, worldwide operating system Google Android phone, new phones seem to fall stack once a week, each hop the last opportunity.
Who put this week is particularly surprising, because Google designed. Not only the software again - the phone itself. Yes, "Google" is painted right on the back with "Samsung" which has been manufacturing. This phone, Nexus S bears little resemblance with for Google's first effort to a phone, a year earlier, the relationship between had failed them. (S. has more in common with Galaxy S of Samsung models).
It is important for a lot of reasons that Google is once again. First of all, it represents the towel on the radical model of selling Google official throwing. He intended to create an online store where you purchased the phone and service, independently. No more "you want an iPhone?" "Then you get AT & T."
Who has never taken. This time, you'll buy S Nexus of Best Buy ($530 no contract, or $200 with a T-Mobile two-year contract).
In General, the new link is essentially the same as his rivals: is a (bigger than the iPhone in each dimension) black rectangle with a multitouch screen, a screen keyboard and a superfast chip makes sense sensitive.
Camera rear panel has a flash LED, but the quality is the only way and can't make hi-def videos. The front facing low resolution camera is intended for video calls or checks for spinach in your teeth. (Video call software comes with the phone, although you can download a couple of little quiches apps at this end of Android app. online store)
4-Inch screen is bright, strong and vibrant. The case is all the plastic, which makes it a magnet for zero and fingerprints as iPhone glass and metal. It is elegant but fairly generic - looking; eccentricity of unique design is a bulge on the bottom of the back, you could argue, will help you to orient the phone when retrieving your pocket.
Samsung also claims that the screen is slightly inclined inwards - curved - to fit your face better. Really? You need a microscope to measure. the curve is almost undetectable. If this minute degree of curvature fits your head, well, you have a skull size of a hot air balloon.
S misses some features the original link, as the dual microphones cancellation (regardless - S great sounds), the trackball has doubled in a light message and the memory card slot. This time, your storage is capped at 16 gigabytes - only 1 gig which is available for storing standard apps downloaded.
Technically, the phone is sold "unlocked", which means that you do not have to use T-Mobile; If you want, you can insert the card account AT & T phone or, when you travel overseas cell carrier. Even then, however, technical limitations prevent you from obtaining on 3 G Internet network AT & T, or T-Mobile 4 G (faster) Internet network.
The most exciting new hardware is S Nexus can read N.F.C. labels. In case you're not an engineer, who is an acronym for near field communication. Supposedly, a day earlier, you can switch your phone on a special tag to pay for something. You can on your phone waves to someone else to share maps of e-business. You can retrieve information, Web links or videos special stickers on billboards and bus shelters, just by scanning your phone.
Ensure. And then you can hop in your hovercraft and fly home.
Unfortunately, it does the tags N.F.C. in America (except in Portland, a test program run by Google), so for the moment, the feature is worthless. Of course, you could argue that if ever the N.F.C., S Nexus will be ready. Unfortunately, at this time, he will examine such as steam powered by kerosene pump.
The most attractive aspect of Nexus perhaps not all hardware - be it is software. Here is pure Android, Google intended way. No cell phone manufacturer has modified, diluted or complicated with its own editorial. It come with preinstalled applications Verizon junkware or what. And this is the first phone with Android 2.3.
This is a big deal. Google updates its software frequently. But if you buy your phone Android cell phone carrier, you will get not updated for months, if ever, because the carrier is the goalkeeper. 2.2 Android, for example, introduces the ability to watch videos Flash on the Web – but so far, many phones Android cannot exploit this functionality because their carriers were not offered the 2.2 update. You won't have this problem if you buy a phone from Google.
