The New Google Nexus One phone

I bought a Nexus One smartphone last January, and it's still my primary smartphone. I'm reconsidering now, having had the opportunity to play with a new Nexus S phone -- a device concocted by Google and Samsung, and designed to show off the latest and greatest features of Google's Android mobile-device operating system.
The Nexus S hits the American shelves at Best Buy today, and it's one of the best Android phones on the market right now -- it definitely boasts the best version of Android, since it's the only phone with that version at the moment. But I'm not sure if I want to buy it, which is a bit surprising given that I'm the kind of gadget hound who always feels compelled to get the latest and greatest. I'm ambivalent because A) the Nexus S has some annoying design flaws, including lack of support for the fastest current data networks; B) it'll be surpassed quickly by even better hardware, albeit devices that customers will have to hack in order to get to all the potential; and C) the Nexus One is still pretty useful.
The Nexus S is noteworthy for many reasons, however, and most of them have to do with the history of Android. The operating system has been a huge hit with mobile phone makers and telecom companies. They like the fact that Android comes at no charge, and they love the fact that it's open-source, which is to say open to tinkering.
