If you're still clinging fast to
Google's first ever Nexus device, now might be the time to start eyeing an upgrade. While the search giant's solidly confirmed an
Ice Cream Sandwich destiny for owners of its penultimate Android flagship, the
Nexus S , the same cannot be said for its HTC-made progenitor. It's not as though Mountain View's lost any love for its game-changing dev phone, rather that handset's 2010 guts just aren't up to snuff for the 4.0 polish. Besides, there are plenty of other
more attractive and
able-bodied smartphones to help you through the mourning process.
