Nexus S With Gingerbread: The Latest Specs

It's 100% Google.  No need to run a 3rd party skin, or user-interface, like HTC Sense or TouchWiz.  The phone comes complete with it's own improved interface built into it's newest and fastest version of Android (2.3 aka Gingerbread).  Unlike the original Nexus manufactured by HTC, Google recruited Samsung this time around to build the uniquely curved smartphone.  Armed with an improved front and rear camera to take vibrant photos and video, a 480x800 AMOLED screen to display exceptional color, brightness and contrast, NFC capabilities to wirelessly transfer secure (payment/credit card) information, and, of course, Gingerbread, it comes very close to being the complete package.  While the screen resolution is not quite as high as Apple iPhone 4's retina display, we still prefer it due to it's amazing AMOLED screen (as opposed to Apple's Super LCD IPS).  We still don't know where Google will take us in regard to NFC (near field communications), but whatever it is this phone will be ready for it.  We were hoping to see the dual-core processor and 4G with the Nexus S, but unfortunately Google seemed to be in a rush to get this out to the market.
