    Engadget are saying to only update the "i9020T (the AWS-equipped model)".

    http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/29/nexus-s-2-3-4-update-now-available-to-early-adopters-via-manual/

    I have the car phone warehouse version of the Nexus S, and my model number on the back says GT-i9020.

    Has anybody updated their Irish bought ones?

    Does this bring voice to Google talk?

    I installed and it fixed the wifi/3G bug. The video chat for Gtalk is really good also.

    FYI - Thought this would be useful.

    To update the phone you need to do a 2 stage update :-

    Upgrade from 2.3.1(GRH78 build) to 2.3.3 (GRI40) - I used the link below to get the files

    http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/02/24/google-releases-android-2-3-3-update-zip-for-nexus-one-and-nexus-s/

    Then upgrade from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4(GRJ22 build)

    I used this link

    http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/04/30/dont-wait-for-the-ota-update-your-nexus-s-to-android-2-3-4-manually-gri40-grj22/

    Took about 10 minutes all told and working well so far.

    Thanks

    This is also now available for the N1 albeit without video chat obviously.

    Just manually updated now. Mainly bug fixes apparently.

    I had this on the Nexus S, really got to me too even though it's such a stupid small thing!

    I installed manually, had a custom rom beforehand (cm7). I chose to wipe the phone because of this. However, the "google backup" thingy worked a charm, once I signed into my account on the newly wiped phone it auto-recovered all my settings and apps!! Very impressed, hadn't used this feature before.

    no advantage... well only one I can think of is that you can blame the network etc if it goes wrong easier?

    So its been available a while now, many people have updated manually but has it all gone swimmingly for those who did?

    Anyone who was around when the first Nexus S thread was going around would have seen i had the issue where the handset would randomly become unresponsive and would reboot back to the Nexus logo for no reason. The change log with this latest edition says that was specifically addressed yet for the first time in a while, I had it again yesterday.

    I'm not sure why, but it appears the camera is no longer as good as it used to be, the focus seems to be out of whack and the yellowy hue off the screen still hasn't grown on me.

    Anyone else have any issues with this lastest version?
