Chances are.. No. You'll need to get an app.

Nexus has offline GPS maps?? First I've heard of it. Unless you mean Google Maps which is on all android phones.

returned to Bell. couldn't justify the cost VS my iPhone 4. didnt feel as polished.

now after mucking about with my Nexus S, i find its a very capable phone, just lacking in storage space and a bit of speed.

so now, i go full circle back to the GS2 except i'm on AWS/Mobilicity

I think this is my 4th phone this year...damn its been an expensive ride.

Quadrant benchmarks at 3700 points.
Nexus S benchmarks at 1752

hey guys, just so you know member Infamouskid can unlock the telus and Tmobile version of this phone. I got mine done and had my unlock code in a few hours. Very professional and helpful.

I'm using my Tmob one on Mobilicity.

note: a international rom would probably be best as the phone has difficulty registering on the Mobi network.

had to set it to wcdma 1700 only. then search for network.

I'm on the BeastMod 2 rom

didn't pay a cent. lucked out i guess. after everything including unlocking I paid $550 CAD however, it didn't come with a charger headphones or OEM cable. only a generic micro USB.

I can't really complain. its close to $700 unlocked from Telus.

got my MHL video output cable. works fine. weird tho. you have to plug in an external micro usb charger into the unit THEN plug it into the phone for the HDMI to work.

got it from DX SKU 95301

has Samsung written on it, but they call it "designer" lol :P

Why do people crave for CyanogenMod that much? Isn't it just about the same as other ROMs out there?

No. The telus one won't work with mobilicity or wind. You need to get the one from the states like turbo_e.
