Nexus S Available on Thursday from Best Buy on First Come First Serve Basis. So, I'm Passing on the Nexus S

When the Nexus One became available for purchase early in 2010, I jumped at the opportunity to plunk down $529 to buy one. Why? Despite already owning a Motorola Droid, I was convinced that the Nexus One was “the” hardware reference platform which would allow me to experience the unfiltered Google Experience (none of those pesky UI skins most manufacturers add).
