Yeah the $10 premium data is required. And the Nexus family is the crown jewel of Google and only for the Android purist.

I just ordered one to replace my HTC Touch Pro (Yes, the original touch Pro not the Touch Pro 2) kicking it at "wish it were more impressive" 3g speeds so I am sure the $10 extra is going to feel worth it. Not to mention the faster CPU... the sluggishness was getting to me. But after 4 years it was a decent phone and never had to be repaired/ replaced.

As far as the mention of the lack of the replaceable SD card, I am OK with it as I had a 16Gb on my Touch Pro and never filled it up. If I need more space I will connect it to my laptop so I transfer in and transfer out. Since it can be used as a wifi port I wonder if I can just connect to the device and transfer wirelessly. That would be even more convenient that swapping SD cards.

Also, does anyone know if I can transfer my contacts from the HTC Touch Pro to the Nexus S 4G? That was the only thing keeping me from going android... but I did it anyway for the lack of bloatware!

You can export your contacts in outlook to a CSV file and import to your gmail account.

You can also sync your contacts on your phone to your google account. No need to export to a CSV file.

Hotmail is another option... It just depends on what email account you use.
I use the hotsync option of hotmail and love it. I can sync my calendar on the fly with the one on my EVO and the one on Hotmail on the cloud.
Good luck bro. That phone looks very sweet.

Thanks for the help - got the contacts transferred. First experience with Android and it seems pretty sweet. I am definitely digging the customizing with the apps being so readily available. So many to sift through too!
My only beef with this thing so far (only had it a couple days) is the 4g doesn't seem to connect very often and I know it's there because I have Clear also. I am also only seeing a couple bars of Sprint where on my Touch Pro I consistently got full bars. I updated the PRL already, any suggestions?

What about visual voicemail??? Is there an apk to be able to use vvm so I don't have to dial in to check vmail

Nexus displays data signal reception and not voice signal reception like the tp2 or evo for example.

I started to look for this but ended up using Google Voice instead. It's free, a cleaner interface, and transposes the messages to text (or tries to, lol). But in the end you get the same features, a list that shows the person/number that called and message playback without dialing in.

Can anyone tell me about the processor of the phone? I am trying to compare it to the EVO 3D.
