Nexus S heading to India within Three months

Even though numerous lucky UK and U.S.  residents are experiencing and enjoying the Google Nexus S smart phone, other world anticipates its release from the coming months. From what I have realized, Google Nexus S would mostly be introduced in India towards the end with the first quarter. So don't be surprised it's arrival in or after Feb ..

Samsung Galaxy S have been an amazing success inside the Indian continent. But recently, the Samsung authorized re-sellers and shops are not having enough its stock. Google made the Nexus S plus the Android 2.3 Gingerbread update official in U.S. on December 7. That it was the very first phone to get unveiled with Gingerbread.

As of this moment, Best Buy in U.S. is selling the unlocked Google Nexus S for $530. 2 Indian online retails Infibeam and Flipkart have listed the Nexus S under Not far off. The Infibeam listing suggests that the cost of Nexus S in India could be Rs. 24,000 excluding taxes et al.


Now, although several Samsung smartphone retailers are out of Samsung galaxy s stock, the Nexus S will not be presented immediately. Nexus S is a vital device for both Google and Samsung. Hence, I anticipate a proper launch in India prior to it being out of stock in retail.

After that, India also anticipates the launch of GSM/CDMA version on the apple iphone 4 that was buzzed to reach this past year from Airtel and Vodafone mobile operators.  

Gingerbread launcher, live wallpaper and keyboard come to the Android Market for free

Jealous of all of your Nexus S-toting friends? Yeah, me too. Without a doubt the biggest thing that I love about pure Android phones or ROMs is  that the launcher is so clean. Of course, there’s also the added benefit of little things like a new Live Wallpaper or in the case of Gingerbread, a new keyboard.

So, want to try them out but don’t want to root your Android device just yet? You can easily snag the Android 2.3 launcher, live wallpaper and keyboard directly from the Android Market. According to Recombu, developer Steven Lin has done us all the favor of uploading the 2.3 goodies to the Market and has made them available for free.

To grab them, just head to the Market and search for “Gingerbread launcher”, “Gingerbread keyboard” and/or “Gingerbread live wallpaper”. Make sure you grab the uploads from Steven Lin and you’ll be set. Of course, you’ll need to set the new keyboard and launcher for use, just as you would with any other keyboard or launcher.

The new live wallpaper is slick, looking much like the one from Android 2.2 but a bit cleaner without the gridded background. The launcher is very similar to what you’d see from AWD Launcher, including 5 screens and quick access boxes on the bottom. The keyboard, probably my favorite feature, has a load of great options including the ability to do one-touch word selection for suggestions and copy/paste.

The newest Nexus S certainly looks amazing. Running Android 2.3 (a.k.a. Gingerbread) can make this the first smartphone to run the Android OS’s newest iteration. Furthermore,  the device sports a 1 GHz Cortex A8 processor, 16GB of flash memory, front- and rear-facing cameras in addition to a contoured and curved 4-inch Super AMOLED screen.

Nexus S is usually the first device to support Near Field Communication (NFC), that will allow apps to communicate along with other NFC devices in close proximity. Many mobile analysts expect pay-by-phone apps o get built for this technology, that could allow consumers to pay for physical goods through touching their phone to a compatible payment device in shops.

Unlike the prior Nexus, the newest model will likely be carried in Best Buy stores and also Best Buy Mobile shop. Google certainly learned their lesson on the last time around, as most smartphone consumers need to feel and touch different models to ascertain what works well with them.

The Google nexus one never appeared in shops, instead counting on online sales via a special Google site or via T-Mobile, Google’s carrier of preference. Speaking of T-Mobile, the new model isn't available via AT&T or Verizon, quite a disappointment but is not entirely unexpected.

In addition to this we acquire a better appear at how the in-development OS is going to look when it's finally outed, with several minor changes being seen in the interface and status bar. The video could be found in the link at the bottom.

Thus far we've seen very slight of Gingerbread, with only a small teaser from Google's CEO Eric Schmidt last month at the Web 2.0 summit who had what's presumed to be the Google Nexus S with Android 2.3 Gingerbread already on the device. Unfortunately all he had time to showcase was the CRT TV power off function. At the same event,Eric Schmidt said 2.3 is coming out "in the next few weeks".

Not much else is known about Android Gingerbread, but agreed it appears like the Android Browser will get significant improvements, perhaps fairly a Fennec competitor, we can only hope that Android Gingerbread will also provide a better camera experience, that  hopefully also takes front-facing cameras and integration of video chat solutions into account.

Particularly the latter currently needs lots of extra effort on the OHA members' part, and we believe Android would advantage from making it simpler to integrate video chat solutions as well as offering a new advanced camera-gallery experience without having to rely on excessive customization.

Condition Android Gingerbread enables that, it will make these features a whole lot easier to sell to end-users, something that is clearly needed in the future "4G battle".

While the manufacturer's name was covered with a black tape, the brief display revealed a lot. For starters, it gave us a sneak peek of Android 2.3 Gingerbread, as well as the handset's carrier T-Mobile.

Eric Schmidt was clever to call the predecessor to the Google Nexus One an "unannounced phone". However thanks to the numerous leaks this week, audiences were well aware of what they were looking at.

Unfortunately we never got any hands-on time with the device but we were able to get close enough to spot a couple of details. For starters, the Samsung Nexus S is very thin, approximately as thin as the iPhone 4 if not thinner. It has a concave design, with the screen area being thinner than the edges. It also feature a glossy trim up front, volume buttons on the left and a plastic rear battery cover.

However the most awesome aspect of the device that caught our attention was not its form factor but the Android Gingerbread Operating System. 

As the CEO was about to walk off the stage, he clicked the power button on the top right corner, putting the Samsung Nexus S into standby mode. With it he revealed the cool new power down feature which resembles that of a CRT shutting off. To see what we mean, check out the video below.
