Touchwiz on Nexus S?

Buddy of mine traded his EVO in for the Nexus and waited past the 30 days. He's now saying he's frustrated with the phone says it's terribly hard to navigate, doesn't link with his facebook and a couple other items.

I'm I mistaken or doe Touchwiz NOT come on that phone? Could he get touchwiz on the phone? would that be something to help him out? Any suggestions?

Thanks

Re: Touchwiz on Nexus S?

As far as I know there is no TouchWiz Framework for the Nexus..its bare stock..if he wants TiuchWiz Launcher though he can get the latest TouchWiz 4:

TW Launcher 4.5 - xda-developers

Re: Touchwiz on Nexus S?

I just unlocked a nexus4g and that phone is such junk and I agree with your buddy about being hard to use. They dumped tw for a more "native ui", least it has gb.

Well Nexus S is a developers device..so it should be possible to root 100% of the time, but doesn't mean it should be easy.
