what's up everyone John Breton jure from TechnoBuffalo here and we are unboxing the just release Nexus S this guy's going to set you back five hundred and twenty nine dollars completely unlocked or $199 the t-mobile service let's go and see what you're going to get for your hard-earned cash so the box is very reminiscent of the first Google phone the Nexus One you've got a picture of the device on the front Nexus S on the sides Nexus S on the sides go ahead and pull off the top and there we've got the device sitting there Nexus S push it off to the side for just one minute see what else we're going to get in the box and assuming it's the usual array of stuff t-mobile SIM card God some health and safety terms of conditions we've got a My Girl USB cord got a 1500 milliamp hour Samsung battery this is made by Samsung got a pair of stereo headphones with mic adapter in there and you've got a wall charger so enough of that business let's go ahead and take a look at the phone and let's recap the specs on this guy real quickly really the big thing is that it's a first phone running Gingerbread so Android 2.3 it's got a 4-inch WVGA Super AMOLED screen with the resolution of 800 by 480 5 megapixel camera on the backside with autofocus and LED flash also has a VGA camera on the front 16 gigs of internal storage there is no micro SD card here and again that 1500 million power battery let's go ahead and wash off the plastic very whooshing the capacitive buttons which live down there somewhere appear to be very hidden and there's a whooshing noise on the back on first Blodgett say this feels very very similar to a galaxy s smartphone it's got that same sort of plastic Samsung back that we see on a lot of devices it really makes for a fingerprint magnet I'm gonna go ahead and pop the battery in and see if this guy looks like when we powered on so we've got the back off the device you can see where the SIM card goes no spot for microSD because this guy doesn't have it it's popping the battery and see what the Buddha looks like on Android 2.3 everything just snaps back in sort of got that reverse chin effect that we saw on a few of the earlier Android devices so the power button looks to be on the right-hand side go ahead and let that power up I'll give a tour the device walls are doing that power button right there on the left hand side you've got your volume up and down 3.5 milimeter headset jack actually lives on the bottom of the phone as well as the charging port on the top you really got nothing so I've got that same sort of Nexus splash screen that we saw on the Nexus One welcome to the Nexus S Touch Android to begin we'll go ahead and touch him you don't have a SIM card installed ready connect to Wi-Fi and I'll jump back in actually once I'm in Gingerbread to give you guys just a very quick look at what that's going to look like and of course a lot of full coverage what diaper system is going to do alright so that was relatively quick setup we are now in the operating system which is pure Android and of course this again is running Android 2.3 the first phone to be running Gingerbread I'll be doing a full overview of Gingerbread but on first blush you can see things a little bit different icons at the bottom are now colored so I've got that same Nexus background let's take a look at the keyboard really quickly since that is one of the big differences here as well it's a much better laid out keys or spacing in between them when you type you get the letter serves more true to where your finger is and just a lot of improvements when you look at a menu for example a little jump into the programs there's a bit more fluidity when you scroll through things if I go into settings for example there's also now an option to manage your applications right from the home screen to go and hit the menu button I jump at the settings there really any list we need to get to the bottom you know get that little sort of yellowish orange glow let you know that you're there just some animations weeks there's a lot more sort of under the hood for Gingerbread I'm looking forward to showing you guys all that it can do but for right now this was just an unboxing of the Nexus S be sure to stay tuned to the channel on TechnoBuffalo for all kinds of see comparisons and her guess I'll see you next video bye-bye
