Google Nexus S Appears in White

emailshare Potential owners of Google/Samsung Nexus S smartphone now have another (albeit purely aesthetic) reason to choose that device over Apple’s iPhone 4: it will probably be available in white color.

Still, if you’re adamant about having a powerful, white, touchscreen smartphone, the Nexus S might be your best bet, as the white iPhone 4 has been as elusive as the Yeti and, last we heard, it won’t hit the stores before spring 2011. There’s no word on when the white...

One of his listeners, who is some kind of phone tester for a living, told Stern to wait until the HTC Merge came out (which is now apparently scrapped for Verizon and moving to their sister company Alltel) so shows how much that guy knows. Hopefully Stern will move to Android and might we reccomend the HTC Thunderbolt when it comes out READ MORE....FOLLOW US ON TWITTER   JOIN US ON FACEBOOK createSummaryAndThumb("summary309843625982128140...
