The iPhone 4 is the bar by which all other phones are judged. It’s the gadget version of that one ex-girlfriend everyone has. Extremely controlling, loves to play games and make movies and is easy on the eyes. Eventually something better comes along and you cut the infuriating, expensive, attention whore off. The Google Nexus S is the girl next door and it’s going to make you think twice about Apple’s darling. The 4″ WVGA display, 5MP camera, 16gb storage and 512mb memory are just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. The engineers at Samsung also managed to cram VoIP, NFC, a gyroscope and the Galaxy contour screen into the Nexus S’s tiny black dress. If we weren’t so morally opposed to the “l” word, we’d definitely use it to describe our sordid affair with this phone. Available December 16th on T-Mobile.
