No one here can answer that. If the ROMs are not to your liking go back to GB stock.
Where is my G Nexus?

dont take this the wrong way.
but you can expect it and read peoples and reporters saying this date and that date.
but odds are we wont know or see the ota untill google issues an official statment.
but everyone ive talked to and all the news ive read
theyve been rumoring end of DEC early JAN.
hope this helps you

ITT: Someone that is using an AOSP ROM pretending that he got the OTA.
If you insist that you're not lying... to quote an excellent movie... I'll believe it when me **** turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbet.

If by "get so butthurt" you mean "expressing a lack of appreciation for idiots" then, yes... I'm butthurt.
What does "joke" mean on the planet you're from?
EDIT: And I know you're not the one that actually said he got the OTA notification. I'm still waiting for that pathological piece of work (or trolling Google employee) to reply.

Now go be a good little boy, beg your parents to take you to the mall, sit on Santa's lap and ask him.

Yea I hated sprint man. With all the new changes I jumped ship and got a the nexus. Love it.
Sent from my Nexus S
probably at the next ice age you'll see a release on CDMA
More likely to see a S2 1st, rather than a S on Sprint ...
Looks like there will be one.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
CDMA is primitive...I don't know how it exists with GSM available
There is one now.

This one might as well have been called the S2 - I don't believe the S had any support for 4G like the S 4G does, no?

Agreed, $300 premium for some android decals on the backplate is insanity, imho.
Hey, check your Settings/About screen and let me know what version of the kernel your phone came with.
I'm curious if the fact that it's an "employee edition" phone means you get the "debug" kernel....

Never trust what a TS reps says they just tell you what you want to hear to get you off the phone
I've never spoken to a store or support rep who actually knew anything about what they were talking about.
Seriously.
Ever.
Not even once.

Yeah, they'll lie right to your face. I had one tell me that my GPS issues were due to interference caused by sun-spots (if this were true, then why do my TomTom and BlackBerry lock instantly?). **** that.

Really curious as to why the NS4G OTA is not being released. The binaries plus the source are all out. Is it just Google holding it so they can release the GSM version first or Is it Sprint holding it?

Not going to lie but I am really getting tired of waiting for official OTA from Android. Even the damn Nexus line is getting fragmented at this point lol. I really do not get how can Apple release OTA for hundred of thousands of ppl at the same time and Google has to do this in parts. I mean think about it, there are more iphone users than Nexus S users out there....

I doubt Google knows the schedule initially. I'm sure they provided the various carriers with the same files that we were given on Friday and then its up to them to plan a release.
