Nexus S vs Samsung Vibrant Schmackdown!

http://www.wirefly.com - The Nexus S and the Samsung Vibrant have much in common: Both are made by Samsung and both run on T-Mobile. In fact, both have very similar hardware. One big difference is that the Nexus S runs Android 2.3, while the Vibrant uses Android 2.1.

These two phones are arguably quite similar, so how do they fare in a Wirefly Schmackdown?

can u delete a home screen on nexus s?

[wirefly]

@onyxjr17 I don't think you can delete a home screen. However, you can delete the icons, apps and widgets on any screen.

has the Android 2.2 update come out for the Samsung Vibrant?

[wirefly]

@HoodRow37 Yes, Android 2.2 is now officially available for the Vibrant. Wirefly posted a video a couple weeks ago that shows what you can expect in terms of performance improvement when you update a Vibrant from Android 2.1 to 2.2. There are lots of little improvements to usability, as well.
