New Nexus S blurry shot turns up online

Over the last week I have received a lot, and I do mean a lot, of questions on the Nexus S. People desperately want to know more. While we may not have release info, or pricing and availability, we do have another another (slightly) blurry pic of the device, showing off it’s unique frontside.

As you can see from the picture above, and as you may remember from the Nexus S’ last appearance with Schmidt on Web 2.0, the Nexus S features an odd sort of bend to the screen of the device. Supposedly, Samsung has been hawking this design for awhile now, boasting improved usability. Sprint originally went for the idea of the unique screen bend, but later had to turn the offer down due to a limited stock offering from Samsung.

Many questions still reamin on the Nexus S, even on just the screen alone. Is just the bezel bent? Is the screen actually curved? How does that improve anything? Feel free to speculate in the comments below.

Come On Sprint! Pass on Nexus S...lame. Finally a phone with great specs and an awesome screen. What do you have that is better right now or coming soon? NOTHING!

Its unique front side, not it's :) It's hard to tell if it is curved or not ... but if it is, it would be curved outward (reply to Simon Yu) I think. Curving it inward would seem like they could have made the phone a lot thinner by just putting a flat screen on it. Curving it outward makes more sense, as you'd get to taper off the edges making it seem real thin (provided that the curve is 'hollow', that is). Either way, I think it will indeed add to 'usability' since even though I would think I prefer a uniform surface, I do somehow slightly lift my thumb when swiping from left to right. A curved screen would keep my finger on the screen without me having to make an effort. In all other use cases it seems like a pain in the *** though.

Wait so is it dipped like a half pipe? or is it curved like a mouse?
