I have been trying to get my wife to updarge her HTC Hero let us know what you settle on, especially the battery life. I played with the Nexus S at Best buy the other day and was impressed with how zippy the Gingerbread OS ran (2.3). Either phone seems pretty cool, will come down to your preferences.
Gingerbread OS doesn’t supported by many apps today from play store, will prefer to look for KitKat OS minimum.
