Why does the pre-order page say Super Clear LCD display? It has to be Super Amoled... or this is a big fail...

The original Nexus S comes with Super Amoled display...

^^ There is a huge shortage of AMOLED screen for now. So no AMOLED for third-world countries like us. :sad:

SE Arc, Neo. maybe Samsung Galaxy S2 Mini.

Still, its a Google flagship device. The only device in the Indian market to get Ice-cream update.

I am not arguing on its specs, yes they are poorer than its competition.

Can't guarantee nexus so will receive ice cream update so early. Look at nexus one. Got gingerbread update so late. Even some non-google mobiles got it early.

welcome to India mate :-D
Thanks for reminding :)). Anyway the big news is the device is a S-LCD one! But not the S-OLED one. AFAIK there was no LCD version of this device, don't know :!:

S-amoled is available in us. But russia & some other countries received the SLcd one.

Officially none. But devs ported it to a few. But N1 got it really late.

One important thing to note is that the S-LCD version of Nexus S has 720p video recording.
