Brightstar, an official distributor of Motorola smartphone in Malaysia, is set to unveil new Motorola Android smartphone on 15th December in KL city. You might want to know which model it is, which I, myself has no idea as well. The only hint is, the smartphone has Corning Gorilla Glass display, which AFAIK is available on all Motorola Droid series smartphone. But of all Motorola Android smartphone released recently, Droid 2, Droid X (CDMA only) and Droid Pro are the only model I believe could pose serious threat to other brand in this market.
The only complaint is, the smartphone is pretty late to be launched here now, when it was launched couple of months back in the US as well other region. By this time, grey importers as well as other Android smartphone model has reaped the benefit from the lack of official distributorship of this smartphone here, in our shores. Anyway, watch this space again on 15th December for more information.

So, this is the second Google branded Android smartphone, named Nexus S, maintain the Nexus brand which already synonym with Google’s own branding. Why not Nexus 2, and what letter ‘S’ means here? Unlike Nexus One which is co-developed with HTC, Nexus S is the workmanship of Samsung with Google, so you can guess where the S coming from here (hint Galaxy)?
What differentiate Nexus series phone with the rest of Android smartphone is, it run on plain Android OS, without any customization interface on top of the OS. It meant to provide truly Android experience without sometime annoying third party customization. And for Nexus 3, it has an honor as the first Android smartphone shipped with Android 2.3 aka Gingerbread. Now this is one worthy phonel!
The phone looks a lot like Samsung Galaxy S, no doubt about that. Only the second looks will tell them it is different phone. Galaxy S is proven smartphone platform and hugely successful with 3 millions units sold so far. It has great looks, very light phone and other feature you can’t found on other Android smartphone. On certain aspect, the spec are almost identical but Nexus S is obviously superior than it’s original platform.
At the heart of Nexus S is the 1 GHz Humminbird processor, the same processor found on Galaxy S. And of course it comes with 4 inch AMOLED multi touch capacitive touch screen with 480 X 800 resolution, second only to iPhone 4 and Sharp phone (can’t recall the model) which has greater resolution. Storage and RAM is pretty much standard, with 16GB (expandable) and 512MB RAM. 5 Megapixel camera with flash and front facing camera is now standard features including in this phone. Oh wait, it has 3-Axis Gyroscope as well! Hit the source for more spec ya!
Google won’t sell this phone directly or make it available online. It will be available though T-Mobile store in the US and Best Buy stores after 16 December and couple of more location after 20 December. Unless you live in the US, there is no easy and cheap way to get it. Just wait grey importer bring it here, and be prepared to pay premium price for this piece of gadget.
