Forget the white iPhone 4; say hello to the (mostly) white Nexus S

Despite the fact that Apple’s white iPhone 4 is creeping ever closer to becoming a reality, some people have long since given up on the gadget. We don’t blame them either, what with a new iPhone set to be unveiled this summer. Those of you with white smartphone lust still have other options to consider, of course, and one of them will apparently soon be the Nexus S. According to enthusiast blog BestBoyZ, the mostly white version of the Nexus S pictured above will soon become available in the blog’s home market of Germany. While the site’s tipster had nothing to say about regions outside Germany, it’s a pretty safe bet that Google doesn’t intend to restrict its white Nexus S to just one country. So, if you’ve been pondering a Nexus S purchase but can’t seem to pull the trigger due to its dark complexion, your prayers will soon be answered — or at least half answered. We can’t say we’re fans of the two-tone black front/white back combo, but you know what they say about opinions…

I prefer Android to iOS but the Android business model just doesnt allow the phones to keep up with iPhone style, keeping the expensive half black to keep costs low equals fail.. Please give it up, all half white phones are ugly as sin and you aren’t going to “one up” Apple in style anyway.. The Droid R2D2 was creative but way too geeky and every “white” phone has been considerably uglier than the regular version

People would give up on a phone because of the colour? -sigh-

It’s color confused, all white would have been killer.

Speaking of color choices, would you take the most powerful phone on Earth… in brown and blue?! Colors don’t matter..to you, correct?

That all brown G1 and Sidekick were the hottest phones out after the iPhone back in the day.. You can pull it off but you have to try. You cant just make half the phone white, Android manufacturing costs are higher because of the lower sales per model so these changes cost more, that’s why the phone doesn’t match the top half is identical to the other color so the manufacturing changes are small.

Good point. That’s why I understand some of the things Apple does with their
products. Android OEMs should but back on the bazillions of models and stick
to a smaller varied lineup. That way they can focus on updates. OEMs can
still innovate and make new models, but Android is in need of a little
consistency and organization to sustain and increase interest and sales.
uCosom

Yes, I would.

…what’s the point of a “white phone” when the entire front is still black?

Am I missing something?

Petey

That’s what I’m saying…

What’s the point if most everyone will use a case or skin, unless I’m wrong that most use something.

The only naked phones I see are BBs. But guys using BBs always have a holster.

Speaking of the Nexus S, forgive my ignorance here… I have an iPhone 4 and I want a second phone to play with on AT&T. Will this phone work with the voice AND data freqs on AT&T? I’ve heard both yes and no…

GSM network, so yes. It’s Verizon that’s CDMA and cannot offer this functionality on its network…not at this time but possibly with LTE.

She’s referring to the compatibility with the 3G frequencies. And if I’m not mistaken, we’re still waiting for an official release of an 850/1900MHz Nexus S, so no, it won’t work on AT&T 3G and get simultaneous data and voice connections.

who is she?

Wrong. none of the GSM networks in the US use the same frequency.

No it will only work on EDGE on AT&T network.
Palmer

Yes, but only EDGE on AT&T

Different between this phone and iPhone 4 is “White iPhone 4 is special, and this is just another Android phone that most people will forget in a few weeks because countless Android in the market.”

Tim242

LoL @ white making a phone special.

zps

why didn’t those clowns at samsung put a micro-SD in this thing? on the other hand, i so distrust samsung that i’m not sure i would buy it anyway.

Andr01d

Apple could have had the white iPhone 4 out immediately along with the black one if they used cheap plastic too. Thankfully, they choose high quality materials instead.

Such impressive quality that they can’t even sell it. Brilliant!

Surely you mean they can’t make enough iPhone 4’s, even without the white version, right?

What is the reason for all supposedly white phones having one color on the front and white on the rear? It seems silly.

I REALLY dislike Samsung Galaxy line of phones which includes Nexsus S. Samsung just copies iPhone. Come on! Come up with some originality please. Truly pathetic.

Disclosure: I don’t own Samsung or iPhone.

People REALLY decide which cell phone to buy… based on “the color”???? Wow. That’s the least important thing to me.

i have a question for all you guys…… who should make the next Nexus Phone for Google…….. htc was 1st, Samsung was second… could Motorola or LG be next…
http://twitter.com/wrg25 W!LL

or should Google buy their own manufacturing facility and make their own NEXUS!
Frank

The Screen ist not Android 2.3!?

junk, made by samsung = junk. I dont care how fancy they make it look. They should know by now: you can polish up a turd a million times but it’s still just a turd. Go away samsung.
