One of our regular readers sent in a tip as he spotted this brand new Google Nexus S being sold in a stall in GreenHills. Apparently, this handset is still very rare as the shop is the only one carrying the import at the moment.
The grey market price — Php35,000 (not that very far from the Samsung Galaxy S when it first came out). Our course, if you’re in the US you can get this for only $529 (or $572 including sales tax). The price should settle at around Php28k in a few more months once newer handsets arrive in the country.

Is the Nexus S i9020 SAMOLED+ variant still available in Greenhills? I’m looking to buy one in the next 1 1/2 months…
This is great I love it, and more for that price when I bought was more expensive, I’m anxious to get the Android 4.0 update official ICS test
Mivo el edo seco per kizo.Ona la pesa ?
Very Gud unit and big advantage. U get updates. First
This is the cool phone better than iphone 4g with extremely useful features. I was looking for it for quite long time.. now its available.; I had written a review on it at Nexus s 4g review
@Azer – I think it’s called “aspirational buying”
i work for samsung usa techsupport here in the Philippines and i would say that this is one of my fave phone in our line,(we have 20-30 of this phone for support),aside from the epic 4g of course which is the best for me! anyways the good thing with this phone is i can directly use my local sim card without having it unlocked,the interface is great, the front camera is cool,the only downside is there no sd card..hehe
nyc.. ang gwapo nman ng physical appearance ni nexus s.. :)
mas gusto ko ung galaxy s 2… Maxado kcng mababa ung video capability ng nexus s.. Though it really depends sa mga need ng consumers… I always use video for school works..
