Update: WIND Mobile puts Nexus S as “Coming Soon”, $525 no-contract
WIND Mobile already announced a couple times on blog posts that they will be adding the Nexus S to their lineup.
While other carriers have already released the device WIND has finally put up a “Coming Soon” page asking people to “hold tight” until it’s officially available. We’ve been getting tips that Wind will release this Android OS 2.3 device for $525 outright and $375 on the WindTab but there is no prices listed on their site yet…
Update: Some are already proclaiming this is available for sale at various WIND locations. Have you purchased one yet?
Update #2: Thanks to a tipster for sending in the above image showing the $525 price point and for sale.

525 is a decent price, but I was hoping they’d beat Mobi on the outright price. But all in all not a bad price.
wish I could justify the $ to buy one

$525 is the MSRP but not the official final price Wind will set on this phone. Stores have been given the go-ahead to sell to those who ask, but not to actively pursue sales until the final price is set. Sounds like it’s going to be in the $475-495 range.

I already have a Nexus One on Wind. Has anybody upgraded from the Nexus One and did you think it was worth the upgrade?

Is that an HD voice icon I see? I can’t wait to be talking to someone else in a shopping mall over HD voice.

If we take a mobilicity phone to WIND, can we still get HD voice?

I bought one today at a Wind mobile in Ottawa at a blockbuster video location. The $525.00 price is correct, they even had the phone on display too!

AT&T is launching Google Nexus S in White. Why couldn’t some provider do samething in Canada. Why is Canada always behind states.

525? I see this as a dissapointment. It’s the same price as Telus.

Correction. Telus is at 549.99. Still though. Second most expensive price in Canada.

its a filler price for those who “absolutely must have it today” Wind are making pricing decisions to see if they can undercut Koodo…..the price war is heating up!!

what’s the price matter between the koodo or wind versions. koodo’s version won’t work on wind /mobi and vice versa so wind doesn’t have to compete with koodo’s pricing, just mobilicity’s

Lol…sorry this phone isn’t over-rate, you’re just the perfect type of customer that should stay far away from touch screen smart phones.
Not liking the “super” sensitivity, making numerous typing errors, and accidently triggering actions can all be adjusted to over time.
Have fun using the Blackberry…although I don’t see how pressing against super tiny buttons is any easier

Wow! Biggest case of “user error” I’ve ever heard of.
Mine does everything fine. Mobile hotspot works as advertised.

I was hoping it would be cheaper than the big 3. like what they usually charge for their new high end phones like $450 when the xt720, blackberry bold 9700/9780… hmmm… got me to thinking… whether to get it or not… but probably would… we’re still getting a good deal with regards to the voice+data plans…

Get the Nexus S from Mobilicity for $499 and port it to Wind – you will get $100 credit for porting your number to Wind so the phone is for $399

im pretty sure the 902.11 thing is a typo.
Why would samsung/google sell a world exclusive to a small company like wind? instead of a bigger one that would rake in the money?
and also if you look at the nexus S manual that is on the wind website, the specifications say 802.11. Now unless that is an outdated manual, im pretty confident that this nexus S is no different than the others. Otherwise it would be a major selling point of the phone and wind would have been advertising it like crazy.

Why would you buy this phone from a Wind store when it is basically $25 cheaper at Mobilicity????
The phone is UNLOCKED wherever you buy it. Google doesn’t allow this phone to be locked

@Beavertail. This phone is a great phone, for the target market. Now, the app is definatly not a problem with the phone, it’s clearly a problem with the application itself. Some apps do crash like that. They don’t just “rush out the apps and claim to have 300,000 apps”. Apps are submitted by companies. Android does not make them. They are 3rd party to Android, and to the company that makes the phone (ie, Samsung in this case). I agree with “B”, it seems as if touchscreen smartphones are not for you. Be mindful when buying a phone. Also, when you go with Blackberry, don’t forget, that they do have a lot less apps, at a higher price. As a side note, if you buy the Playbook, you’re also going to experience the same issues with SOME apps, like crashing/bugging (since it’s going to be run the Android market place). Every OS is like that. No, it may not be a business phone, it’s more of a “fun phone”, as are a lot of Android phones. Blackberry’s are more business. Buy to your lifestyle, not what’s new.

I bought it from Wind…I’m a current customer and considered going to Mobilicity and then re-port over, but Wind is offering in addition to one year manufacturer warranty and straight over the counter exchange of the device if there’s a problem with it over the course of a year….I had an issue with my previous Best Buy US model so considered that worth the extra $25. Not sure what the other providers are offering.

This however is pretty expensive considering that Koodoo is selling it at 425 (100$ lesser)..
