Rogers discontinues the Nexus S, starts depleting inventory
The Nexus S originally launched in the United States back in December of 2010, then almost every Canadian carrier decided to add this to their lineup this past April. This is the second “pure Google” device and it’s been one of the most successful Android devices. Now, months later and with more powerful handsets on the horizon, we’ve been informed that Rogers has officially placed this touchscreen device on its discontinued list and have started to deplete their inventory. This is still currently available online and through various retailers.
Rogers is prepping to unload a few high-end devices, most notably the LTE-enabled Samsung Galaxy S II and an unknown LTE HTC device. Or quite possibly, with the Nexus discontinued it’s time for the Nexus Prime (or possibly called the Galaxy Nexus) to show up.
(Thanks tipster!)

They should sell it for $100 with no contract, I’d gladly take one off their hands.

the number of cheap people above that agreed the Nexus prime is only worth $99 no contract is the reason why innovation in this country is lacking.

I’m sure he meant the Nexus S for 100$ not the Prime.. I doubt it will go for less than 149$ with 3 years contract what ever carrier has it.

Well if they carry the next nexus it’ll be on all carriers just like the S was. All nexus products are unlocked phones.

Pretty sad when a month ago they wouldn’t go lower than a hundred bucks on a three year renewal as a retention offer.

They’re depleting their inventory because of this last update by Google effectively killing this phone’s reputation. Not only did they NOT fix the search bug, they killed tethering. Amazing Google i***t techs. I’m sure Rogers phones were ringing off the hook with customers demanding a replacement. The funny thing is, it seems the only way to fix the phone for people with the search bug is to “root” lol. Maybe maybe somebody from xda can call google and offer to help them out.

I hope Samsung smartens up and changes the look of their next phones so that Apple doesn’t sue them with their stupid lawsuits. All they really need to do is get rid of that center home button.

@LOL you do realize that Samsung came out with this design way before Iphone right. And second its actually Samsung suing Apple, and Apple counter suing just to be stubborn and to make things bad for themselves. How many companies are suing Apple right now, like 10 or so, and how many are suing Samsung (zero), so you do the math. Apple is the evil one.

And its to bad for Rogers to discontinue an awesome device like this. I have this device and I love it, I’ve had zero issues with it, I think the ones having issues are people who don’t know how to use an android properly or something, cause from day one, my nexus S has be perfect, no issues with it what so ever. And this new update people are complaining bout it breaking tethering doesn’t exist, I did the update and it works perfectly fine. I think its Apple employees making up stories just to make Samsung look bad or something

I’ve been an IT professional for 16 years. My Nexus S is a piece of junk. It has been getting the “voice search” bug since day 1, and the 2.3.6 very definitely broke tethering on my phone. Shut your trap.

@casey where did you get your IT degree out of a cereal box, and what you talking about Nexus S is by far the best phone out there. Samsung did an awesome job.

Anyone who says that the latest update didn’t kill their tethering is a complete liar. 2.3.6. is the latest. Check your phone, you’re either still on 2.3.4 or 2.3.5. OR you did the “dun” work around but the IDIOTS at google DID break tethering with last weeks update (which they stopped making available) and DID NOT fix the search bug. One only needs to take 30 seconds to check the google/android forums for evidence. Google has already publicly acknowledged it. And yes, I own one.
oh and btw, I’m not an Apple employee, I’m straight.

Fingers crossed that it’s a Nexus Prime. I’m off contract right now with a Galaxy S2 I bought through NCIX but I’d totally sell my soul for another 3 years for a Prime.

Yikes…..well maybe if the Nexus was a little future friendly it would’ve had a longer shelf life. Its a great phone, but with all the dual core “superphones” that seemed to come out at around the same time, the Nexus certainly didn’t seem like a “flagship” phone

The Nexus S is a great phone whrn it works. Many times, after finishing a phone call, the screen stays black. Only way to activate it is to plug in to power or remove/replace battery.
Major issue for me. Otherwise, its super.
