The pricing in Singapore for Nexus S is a bit screwed up to say the least.

A quick check on Singtelshop.com, on the same plan,

LG O2X $318
Moto Atrix $448
Nexus S $498
HTC Sensation $548

And it isn't even S-AMOLED... :(

what problem is there with the Nexus S ??
if u are talking about hardware issue, thats probably lemon sets..
on the software side, if u know what u are doing, there shouldnt be any problems.

Am very "proud" that the price is still so solid after so many new, powerful phones are launched


edit: ah my bad, after re-reading ur post. i realise i made a mistake, u were complaining problem with the incredible S. my cousin has been using it for bout 2 months now i believe, but hasnt heard any complains from him hehe..

Incredible S thread here got ppl complain about wi-fi etc. but not everyone got problem. I decided to get the Nexus S retail cuz the telco pricing is ridiculous. Loving it! Trouble is I can't find a case in SG. I'm planning to buy Amzer Luxe casing.

Anybody got experience with this case and would it fit the i9023?

casing i think most will fit. but not perfectly only..
if u dun mind spending more, try the rearth one.
or u can look at the momax one (read on xda it can fit the i9023 nicely)

I saw the rearth one, looks a bit bulky but I like the red color... what casing you using?
do you know if can get any of these casings locally? Very sad to pay more shipping cost than the product price when I order from amazon :s22:

And thanks for the Momax recommedation:

using the rearth one, adds about 2.5mm bulk bah..
currently free shipping no? (ah u need over $50 for free international shipping)

doubtful about getting a fitting one locally lol

Hi, I just got a Nexus S and I have a couple of question to ask you guys... :)

- What is the model type of S-Lcd Nexus s? 9023 or 9020?
- Root = void warranty?
- If I root can I still recieve OTA updates? Can I update from it after I root?
- If I do a OTA update would I lose my root?
- Should I root in 2.3.4 or 2.3.3?
- Can I root without unlocking bootloader in 2.3.4 or 2.3.3?

Many thanks... :)
