Great phone for users who want things to just work without frustration
Last year I've started my journey into the world of smartphones with a Palm Pre, incidentally that phone had great features but had lack of 3d party app support. Once my contract expired I upgraded with the Nexus S 4G, which in a way answered almost all my frustrations, but somewhat lacked some of the features I'm used too in a WebOS device.
Some highlights of the phone itself would be the screen itself featuring a super amoled screen, which is pretty vibrant/luminous and also at high settings resists sun glare. It could have used gorilla glass because like any other phone its prone to scratches and the occasional bruise.
I'm fairly satisfied with android 2.3.7 as it address almost all of my wishes. With the upcoming update of android 4.0 ics, things couldn't have been better. For instance the camera(5mp) is fairly good but not great but with 4.0 comes a redesigned camera app that further adds function into an already great experience.
Battery life in my personal use tends to be around 9-11 hours depending on talk time and service available, I keep my settings on bare minimum with the exception of always having 4G on, while everything else(bluetooth,wifi,nfc) are off.
With Nexus Prime coming out right around the corner this phone still seems to me to be a competitive contender with perhaps a price drop when the successor comes out. The Prime improves upon all aspects of the phone, id highly recommend waiting upon the Prime which should hit carriers early next month. While on Sprint though the choices are limited to Nexus 4G/Iphone 4/4S.Read full review...
unusable due to restricted access!!!!!!
you know, I WOULD have absolutely LOVED this phone had it been ABLE to be used in my remote area..HOWEVER, it CANNOT be unlocked because it belongs to ONE OF TWO phone companies who do not use sim cards..So I will not be ABLE to use this phone and have actually HAD to purchase another (LESSER) phone in order to get service...Shame...this phone has everything 4g, android, Google...NUTS to the company who will not allow this phone to be freed!!!Read full review...
value for money and easy on the eye with specs to match
i have always been and android fan but kept buying phones that have bloatware. the nexus s provided me with what i needed at the best price. i cannot find a phone with similar specs for the same price and despite it being more than a year old, i hope to use it for quite while since the specs will remain relevant for a while.
the phone looks and feels good too!Read full review...
Awsome phone better than all others and no where near the high cost of them
This device i have ever owned. I love it, I have had the epic 4g evo shift, palm phones and i phones but this one beats them all hands down. Easy to set up and use. Super fast web and apps. i love the wifi hotspot. I cant brag enough on this phone. Great dealRead full review...

The camera has very good quality
Solid phone
The battery can always last longer and everything can be cheaper right :) Overall a really good phone
not able to activate
I Couldn't activate this phone. It was Sold to me labeled as a locked sprint phone however when I received it, it was unlocked. I Tried to activate it over the phone and in store and because it was unlocked I was told I couldn't activate it . Buying this phone was a complete waste of time unless it was fixed. Its not worth a thing IMO.Read full review...
This is a great phone!
Great phone for texting and social media! Got it for my teenage brother in law and he absolutely loves it!
slim and ease access
This is one of the best Phones sold on Ebay. I would recommend this to any friend. great feutures. But can be rooted to improve access and soother running.
