Grr: Android 4.0.4 Only Out For GSM Nexus S And Galaxy Nexus HSPA+ , Not LTE Variant
This is getting on our (read: my) nerves. Both the Sprint Nexus S and the Verizon LTE Galaxy Nexus seem to be the second-class citizens that the other Android devices are, as they never receive updates, such as the new Android 4.0.4 which adds smoother screen rotations, camera fixes, stability improvements, and numerous other bug fixes and tweaks to Ice Cream Sandwich that have long been asked for. For those of you that do have an HSPA+ Galaxy Nexus or a GSM Nexus S (meaning with SIM card), then the update is freely available to you, unless the download has not come down to your handset, since updates like these are gradually rolled out to the masses.

Whoa. Today is a new day for — lawsuits? The Wall Street Journal has just reported that Apple has filed a lawsuit against Samsung in the Northern District of California on April 15 (that’s last Friday) for copying the “look and feel” of the iPhone and iPad with the Galaxy S 4G, Epic 4G, Galaxy Tab (probably the 7-inch model), and Nexus S (which is Google’s flagship Android phone). A reason (one of many) to pay close attention to this case is that the Nexus S uses Android 2.3, the latest version of Android, while the other devices do not, indicating a true attack on Android as a whole (or so it would seem, right?).
According to tons of tips and tipsters, Sprint has a tablet, an EVO 4G successor (possibly the EVo 3D), and the Nexus S 4G with WiMAX and CDMA radios ready to debut at CTIA 2011. In the same manner that the HTC Arrive appeared as “oops”, so does the Nexus S 4G, making it a logical confirmation of its existence. Time to wait for CTIA. Via: 
So iFixit takes apart the Nexus S, bit by bit to display its subtle curves. Otherwise, only the display has the curve; everything is as flat as your laptop screen. Hit the source link for the carnage. Via: 
Google’s Nexus S has been available at BestBuy stores since 9:00AM, and available for $199 on a 2-year contract with T-Mobile USA, or a full $529 for an unlocked, contract-free handset. With everything from Android 2.3, a 1GHz Hummingbird processor, 4-inch Super AMOLED display, front-facing VGA and 5MP primary camera with 720p HD recording, the Nexus S hardly comes to a party unprepared, except for the lack of fake “4G” or in T-Mobile’s case, HSPA+. So, go ahead and buy a Nexus S now, if you please.
The Nexus S — is here. It contains Android 2.3 Gingerbread stock without any extra UI coatings, and will launch on T-Mobile this December 16th. The specs are a 4-inch WVGA “Contour” Display at a crisp 235 ppi with Super AMOLED, triband HSPA with AWS support (no HSPA+), 5 megapixel camera with 480p or 720p video recording (a page on the Nexus S site say it only records in 480p, another says HD) and VGA front-facing camera, NFC chip, 16GB of onboard storage, 512MB of RAM, 1GHz Cortex A8-based Hummingbird processor, Bluetooth 2.1, and a gyroscope like all Galaxy S phones due to Samsung manufacturing the Nexus S.
The Nexus S? Does it exist? According to the FCC, it does (and to leaked spy shots) and now it has new Bluetooth / WiFi and GPS antennas. Contrary to the belief that the Sexy Nexy S was delayed due to a dual-core processor seems wrong due to this new filing for the Samsung GT-i9020T (a.k.a Nexus S). Now all we need is a release date for — soon. Via:
