Google Nexus S Launches Today; Are You Buying? [Poll]
Today’s the day. Many of you have already expressed plans to be up bright and early at Best Buy (stores open at 8am local times) to get your hands on one. Others have denounced the device as a disgrace to this Nexus name. And some of you just want to wait for the dual core devices headed our way starting in 2011. Regardless, Google’s next “superphone” with Android 2.3, near field communications radios, and all sorts of other goodies will be awaiting you today for $200 on a new two-year contract. ($249.99 if you’re adding a line to an existing account, and $529.99 if you just want to walk out of the store without committing two years of your cellular life to T-Mobile.)
So who’s really buying it and who isn’t? Why don’t you want it? Do you think Google will refresh the Nexus S line once the dual core processors are ready? I contemplated buying a Nexus S myself, but I’m hearing from a trusted source of mine that Google’s still working on a dual core version. And even if they aren’t, I don’t think this release warrants dropping $500 when I already have an EVO and Epic 4G. (I’ve been up all night convincing myself not to get it, if you can’t tell.)
But we want to hear from you. Whether you voice your opinion by voting in the poll or in the comments section below, what is your take on the Nexus S? Will you be buying? If so, are you going to get it in store or online? (Don’t forget that Best Buy is offering free overnight shipping of the device if you can’t quite make it to their storefront.) And feel free to continue this discussion with more of your peers over at the Nexus S section on AndroidForums.com.
