Telus has been on a roll of high profile device launches and Tuesday they kept it going by confirming plans to sell the Nexus S. It would be the first Canadian carrier with the Google-blessed Android 2.3 device and should have it available by late March or early April. Prices have not been disclosed so far.
The Nexus S is crucial as the official Google phone and the only one to run a completely stock version of Android 2.3. Unlike the very closely related Galaxy S, users don’t wait months for updates and get the latest features and apps for Android as soon as they’re available.
Nexus S owners were the first Android users to get official support for a front camera and the first anywhere to get built-in NFC for wireless payments and Google Places tags.
