Google Launches Nexus S Phone In UK and US 202
siliconbits writes "Google has made its second bid for a slice of the mobile phone market, with the launch of its Nexus S phone. The Samsung-built device comes less than 12 months after the launch of the firm's Nexus One, built by HTC, which failed to win over many consumers. The Nexus S will initially be launched in the UK and US, and will be available 'from the end of the month'."

T-Mobile will provide unlock codes [t-mobile.com] for any phone they sell, at no charge. AT&T is a different story.

NO KEYBOARD, NO PURCHASE. it is simple as that for many people, including myself
And it's the other way around for many of us. I don't want to have a larger than necessary phone by wasting volume and weight on an unnecessary thing like a physical keyboard. Swype works great, and is WAY faster than I would be able to go with a tiny little cellphone keyboard. I'm a VERY fast touch typist on my computer, but a cellphone keyboard is too small to be of any real use now that we have UI advancements like Swype.
If you want a keyboard on your phone, then get a phone with a keyboard. There is no one design that will appeal to everyone. It's not "wrong" for a phone to not have a physical keyboard, just wrong for you. :)

It's a developer device, so it should come rooted from the box.

From L Nexus S specs page [google.com]:
Quad-Band GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900
Tri-Band HSPA: 900, 2100, 1700
AT&T's HSPA bands are 850 and 1900 (I can't find a good authoritative source).
