I have been at ILM ( in the old space) - got a great tour and the new Pixar space ( with my students from Stanford via my Facial Animation course), heck I gave a recent talk at Google and saw things I can't talk about either but why would I blog about it or put it on Slashdot if I do not have something informative to say. I sure there are 200 more folks like me who have done this who are slashdot members. Including folks who work at these places. Seems like an ego post.

While a good phone, I would suggest bang for buck - a better "best android experience" option is to buy a used Nexus One on ebay. I did so, great price; HTC honors the warranty if still time applicable ( I dropped my phone one week after getting it and they immediately sent me a new one). There is not a big spec difference with the Nexus1 and the NexusS - and if anything HTC is know for better build quality and customer service. This "cheap" solution gives you the latest and best android experience ( I have 2.3.3) that you own and can use anywhere ( no carrier crapware, wait for updates) for a good price -- you might even save money if you sell your current phone.
