Nokia X2 Prepaid Device Hitting T-Mobile February 16th.
FILED IN gadgets No Comments
I’d like to say I’m not surprised by this in the least as I had all but forgotten Nokia these days. I know how wonderful their phones used to be and how awesome they still can be, if you haven’t seen what the N8 camera can do, thats an injustice. Still, if this is the best they are willing to give the US, I can say for certain I won’t be forking over more money To Espoo in the near future.
The Nokia X2 with a full QWERTY keypad, email and messaging features is certainly an attractive prepaid device. Even more so if the price is right but this just makes me sad. Sad for Nokia and what they are offering to the US.
If this thing is an EDGE only device, I’m going to cry. Even as a prepaid device, give me 3G.

(Updated With Pricing) Nexus S Product Page Goes Live, Available December 16th At Best Buy, First Review Is In
FILED IN gadgets 10 Comments
Updated: Customers can purchase Nexus S for $529 as an unlocked phone without a contract. Nexus S optimized for T-Mobile’s network is available for $199 with a two-year service agreement and qualifying voice and data plan.
It’s finally final and official; the Nexus S lives on T-Mobile. There were never any moments of doubt but seeing the words “Availability and T-Mobile” in the same line just makes us tingle a little. The only real disappointment we can see thus far is no HSPA+ but we might be able to let that slide for a handset that’s likely to not have to wait for months and months for updates as well as coming straight out of the box running Android 2.3 or Gingerbread. The Nexus S will be available from Best Buy (both online and in store) for T-Mobile on December 16th in both unlocked and with contract offerings.
Official specs include 6 hour talk time, 512 RAM, 16Gb internal storage, a 1GHZ Cortex A8 Hummingbird processor and a 4.0 inch screen with 800 x 480 resolution and last but certainly not least running Android 2.3.
Of course where our jealously kicks in is that Michael Arrington of TechCrunch has apparently been reviewing the device over the past few days. You really need to read the whole review but we’ll highlight some of the main points here:
“The phone does not fail to please. It is significantly faster than the Nexus One (and most current generation phones), has a high-end AMOLED 400 x 800 resolution screen that is second only to the iPhone 4, and is NFC-enabled.”
“The Nexus S uses the 1 GHz Hummingbird processor, which absolutely zooms and also seems to handle running multiple apps and background processes well compared to previous Android devices I’ve used.”
“Google’s noise cancellation software is also present. When combined with the excellent audio hardware it results in very high quality calls. In test calls from my car the recipient said they heard very little background noise – the iPhone in particular performed terribly in a similar test.
So far, not one dropped call.”
“Best of all, of course, is the fact that the Nexus S is a clean install of Android, and a pure Google experience. There is no messy third-party software to muck things up.”
“The Nexus S will almost certainly be my go-to phone for the next few months. I’m leaving today for a week in Europe, and taking only this phone with me.”
