Eric Schmidt shows off a Nexus S at the Web 2.0 summit, says Gingerbread coming in ‘next few weeks’
We had a feeling Eric Schmidt would be doing something surprising at the Web 2.0 summit, and the man didn't disappoint -- he just showed off the Nexus S running on T-Mobile, and revealed it has NFC features, a technology he thinks will eventually replace credit cards. Unfortunately, he also called it an "unannounced phone" from an "announced manufacturer," and the logo was taped over, so we're not any closer to a release date here. Update: We've added some more pics to the gallery, including some close-ups that show the carrier is indeed T-Mo

B W asked:
Prevented from exploring several sites on my blackberry’s browser and the downloaded mini Opera browser because I constantly get a “disable your pop up blocker to access this site. I have gone into Options>Browser Configuration>Allow Java script pop ups, but still no solution to the problem. I have even reset(turned off) my phone after doing this. Still no success! Please help and thanks in advance.
