Owned both the Nexus One (totally hated) and the Nexus S (not a bad phone). I agree with the overall sentiment of the post - while the Nexus S doesn't shine with respect to features, it has good enough hardware and an excellent vanilla android experience.
That said, I feel Android users are always behind the curve. Case in point - I've owned my Nexus S 3G for just over four months and now there is a 4G version (promising more cat videos!). Oh, and it lacks so many features of other Android phones (the cool controllers of the Sony Ericson phone, the 3D of the LG phone,...). If I was an iPhone user, life would be simpler ... to be on the cutting edge, I just need to get the new iPhone as soon as it comes out. I guess what I'm trying to say is that sometimes fewer choices are good because they simplify things for consumers (a good book on the topic is "Paradox of Choice").
- w1ntermute 15y ago> an excellent vanilla android experience One of the central goals of Android is to level the playing field wrt software. And in fact, if your phone is supported by CM7, I don't see why this should be an issue at all.
- MatthewPhillips 15y agoBuying an iPhone is also a choice. Choice is unavoidable.
- iqster 15y agoAgreed. I hear you have two colors to choose from these days :-p
