Don't you see the point? Not everyone likes to change their devices every few months. They want to buy the device that can be upgradeable and last much longer. And for now, from what I see, look like the only android phones that are upgradeable are those from Google.

It is more like a warning for those who are planning to buy an android phone soon, like me. You need to know, without a good OS, no matter how good the hardware is, it is just like a sh**. N900 is one of the example, maemo 5 is just not good enough to use the full power of it, be honest., and instead of fixing the bugs, Nokia just go ahead and develop another new OS. How about the owner of N900? "Well, sorry, too bad you bought our products." At least now they know it is wrong and they say they will port the Meego to N900, but will see, who knows.

This Nexus S may not have the best hardwares, like no MicroSD slot , no Qwerty keyboard, well, same as the Iphone too , but as least it have a good company on its back to make sure the OS is working well and upgradeable.
It seems that YOU'RE the one who missed the whole point - this phone is outdated at the second it hits the shelves.
When someone puts some serious amount of money to buy a new smartphone, he'll usually try to get the best smartphone he can so it'd last for a long time, technology-wise.
While this was not the case for the N900 (mostly because of its lack of multi-touch capabilities), this is certainly not the case in the new Nexus S either:
  • No microSD slot
  • Only a 5MP camera
  • Mediocre screen resolution for a screen of its size
  • Only 16GB of internal storage
  • Bluetooth v2.1
Now be honest - if this wasn't 'declared' as Google's new flagship device, would you consider buying it, or would you have rather buy a phone with much better specs (which already exists)?
