I would have liked to had a notification LED on this phone like my prior Nexus One. Using a work-around called NoLED. Other than that it's a great phone.
I am really impressed with this phone. Designed with the curves on the screen and body really looks good. Google has added no bloatware and performance is excellent.
What can I say.... it's a Nexus product.... nuff said. Only thing is this product is a little outdated for the network. no HSPA+, why? Also they could have had an SD slot for more storage with the 16gb built in...... perfect size. Not looking forward to the Nexus Prime now.... suppose to have a 4.5inch screen..... after 4inches you lost my business. It's a phone, not a tablet.... personal taste.
Pros: Realistic color, Lightweight, fast!, full customization, actually get's full updates
Cons: no hspa+, not enough memory, headset port on bottom
I would recommend this to a friend!

Little Slow, No Track Ball, and No Notification Lights

This was my replacement of a Nexus One I had. The only reason I switched to this phone was the 16MB of memory as the Nexus One only had 512Kb. I miss the Track Ball that comes in the Nexus One. Selecting text or scrolling in the Nexus S is much harder as it's all done via software. The performance it's a little disappointing as I still see slooow screen refreshes and even poor responsiveness on touch events. In addition to this, the plastic used in this device feels like cheap...but overall I love Android and I'm a big fan and love the pure vanilla experience that comes in the Nexus line of phones.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: slow, no track ball, no notification lights

I like the Nexus S so far, it dropped many times and thought the screen broke but when I picked it up I found the screen still as I bought it in excellent condition.the only thing I don't like about it is the battery doesn't hold the charge long enough but i think all smart phone same thing.
