  1. Come on Koodo, get this! Time to tell Syrup about the “Profit from your friends” Koodo contest.

    • I bet Koodo will have it soon too but since Koodo is a Telus front, they will probably be the same price.
      i am quite keen to get mine,
      the next version may have a removable memory too though
      hey Iphone uses.. getting scared??? Long live android OS!!!

  3. Y’see? That didn’t take long since Bell released it.

    But I can understand the impatience of early adopters.

    • I had no issues with 3G or WiFi whatsoever. Then again, my WiFi’s are pretty powerful (home and work) and I force my device into WCDMA-only mode to be sure it doesn’t scan for 2G.

    • I have not had any signal problems..you probably just have a ‘broken’ phone and i would get a replacement. I do highly recommend this phone.

  7. I wonder if we’ll see it show up on telus teamwebstore site like all their phones do. Should be interesting for a no-contract price.

  11. Now how about some ICS for the Nexus S!!! I see the plan now. There is no reason to release ICS for the Nexus S before the release of the Galaxy Nexus…there is no profit in that! It could hinder sales of the GN. It would only make a lot of customers happy…

    • Google controls the release of the software for the Nexus devices. When it is ready it will be pushed over the air by Google. Carriers have no say.

  14. Wow, they would announce the date the day after I pick up an Amaze… I thought about waiting for a Note, but in the end I think it would have been to big. Even the Amaze seems pretty big to me.

    • Michael, I’m also debating between these phones – other than software and screen the Amaze has the GN beat spec-wise. How do you like it?

  16. There are 3g & wifi issues with this phone. I bought it from Bell and put it on the Koodo network. I wouldn’t pick it up until they reveal if its a software bug that can be fixed.

    • Don’t settle. This phone is nice, but other than a relatively buggy version of ICS at the moment (they are already at 4.0.3 after a month and it still isn’t working properly, especially for the nexus s for which they pulled the update…), an hd samoled screen, it is actually behind, hardware wise, many of the dual core phones that are out today. It has a lesser camera than almost any, an average 1.2 ghz dual core processor (NOT EVEN EXYNOS!!!), an older graphics chip, no lte or telus dual band hspa support, no sd card support and no mass usb support. Don’t believe the hype. This phone is behind the curve almost everywhere except the screen and the os.

  19. Was thinking about using a GN as a paygo (prepaid) phone for a while as I got a pile of credits for xmas (for my existing paygo phone). Are there any restrictions on phone model numbers (specifically on Rogers, but also in general) as I’ve heard in the US that most carriers limit access to only the cheapest/specific models#’s?

  21. Someone above mentioned SD card support in a future version. Is there a rumour of future Nexus devices supporting removable SD cards? I really like this feature.
