It's actually said that the htc desire hd is a faster, smoother experience due to motoblur.

Exactly, these phones are primarily assessed by their hardware. The software that comes with the phone is simply an option. Cyanogen and many others have already developed roms to replace the standard Motorola software on the phone making it more functional and more user friendly.

Slated to release on April 14th. Best Buy and Futureshop are taking 50$ pre orders for certain carriers. I just sold my iPhone and don't know whether to get an atrix, incredible s or wait for the Nexus. I'm siding towards the Nexus cause of the support.

Just preordered mine at Best Buy. She hinted that the price will be 500 and most likely releasing this Thursday. Futureshop Forum verifies that they're getting stock in and 7th is a good guess. I'm pretty excited, finally ditching the BB and iPhone for my first droid.

There are 2 models coming out for Nexus S: Robelus model (i9023) and the AWS model (i9020).
Robelus one will have the 850/900 needed for their 3g network. AWS one will have the 1700 for their 3g network. Rumor has it that Robelus version will get the SLCD whereas the AWS one keeps the SAMOLED like T-Mo gets it down south.

That will be complete bullshit if Robellus models get the SLCD. I heard Europe was the only country to get the SLCD versions?

I'm backing out of the nexus if the rogers one is slcd rather than samoled..I guess we'll find out in a few days lol

If you go to the google nexus s page under tech specs u can choose the country and only a handful are slcd the rest is samoled

cheaper than the Telus one:

so it does look like they will be SAMOLED but why is Roger selling it for cheaper if they are unlocked phones?

Rumoured Koodo has it for 450. Smells like bs though. I'm currently on Rogers now and wouldn't mind buying it from them. However, if Koodo or someone else drops the phone earlier or cheaper. How will warranty thru the carrier work? Rogers has been astounding regarding their 1 year warranty in the pass with my pos 9700.

I don't think the kooodo one will run 3g on rogers though fs forum said its gonna be in stock within 7 days and will be unlocked if purchased outright or 3y for rogers/fido will get 50 fs gift card..hopefully they'll have it this wknd

Now people are reporting Rogers CSR reps are saying to go to stores tomorrow. The mix up with dates is killing me.
