My Iphone died recently which really pushed up my timetable for switching to Android. It's weird going a couple weeks without a smart phone but the Nexus S has been worth the wait. Had to wake up early on my vacation and head to Best Buy though.
I went to BB 10 minutes before they opened and 5 people were already there. By the time the store opened there were 8 people. The store had only 8 units too! They didn't have T-mobile so they were only selling the Nexus S's unlocked for ~$500. I originally wanted a contract so I went about calculating what an unlocked version plus T-mobile month-to-month would mean monetarily.
Turns out by my calculations I'll be saving money after year and a half this way versus doing the $200 + more expensive contract. Btw why is it so hard to see rates online for mobile companies for phones that are already unlocked? I had to call T-mobile to find the prices out and even then the first guy didn't understand.
