The difference between the Nexus One and Nexus S is that when the Nexus One came out not only was it the best spec'ed Android phone you could get, but it would be the best spec'ed for some time. While I think you can argue that the Nexus S is the best spec'ed Android phone today (and I think there's an argument to be made against it, with phones like the Epic 4G that includes 4G support, while the S doesn't have HSPA…

I was really looking forward to the S to replace my N1 Why were you really looking forward to replacing a phone that still works with a new one that's basically the same?
Primarily so I could be rid of two the main problems with the N1: - hardware flaw in the touchscreen sensor - 196 Megs internal application storage is pitifully small I also hoped for: - more speed - better battery life from a newer generation screen / CPU - all the new toys :)

I could have waited for 2.3 from Samsung but I lost faith in them. Too many promises broken over time. TouchWiz is junkie and to much to support. Samsung doesn't care about keeping the experience up to date, they'd rather I just buy a new phone. So I'm voting with my dollars and getting a phone from someone who will update it. (I do see the irony in that Samsung actually manufactured the Nexus S)
But I also am apprehensive about the Nexus S. There is no Best Buy in my town that sells T-Mobile service. I had to argue with the cell phone sales rep who told me the only way to get one was to order online. Turns out they were in a closet behind another box. How is a non-technical person going to behold the beauty of such a phone when it's not even out on the show floor.
"...I love my Nexus One and was hesitant to replace it but the Nexus S looks like the exact same phone, just better..." Same phone? Really? I was really looking forward to the S to replace my N1 but no matter how I slice it I keep coming up disappointed on the hardware. No SD slot, no trackball/touch-pad, no notification light, all items I use regularly. I really want to continue the pure Google experience and immedi…
No notification light? thats one of my favorite features on my Motorola Droid.
Blah. I have a droid and I want to microwave it on a dail basis. Weird crashes, wrong apps launch when i press their apps, etc.
Let me guess, running Motorola's stock ROM? I'm so sorry for you. Funny, my mom uses her Droid all the time for gaming, emails, news, and doesn't even manage to have the problems you're having. "Wrong apps launch when I press their buttons". What? Come on, I've never heard of that and have no idea how that would even be possible unless you're using LP/ADW.Launcher's custom shortcut functionality... EDIT: I think I kn…

I actually have several other android phones (all employee phones: a nexus one, a mytouch, and the g1) but would really prefer to be on verizon.

It was my absolutely least favorite aspect of using an iPhone, when I did. It seems a trivial reason to so dramatically prefer the Android devices I've had, but trivial or not, I sure did miss it when I didn't have it.

Regarding the 196MBs: what's the downside of App2SD?
