Nexus S now on pre-order from Best Buy Canada

The Google Nexus S is certainly one of the most desirable handsets around and for many Canadians obtaining one required an eBay purchase or a trek South of the Border to an American Best Buy. Well, the handset that's expected to be with no less than five carriers in Canada (TELUS, Bell, Rogers, Mobilicity, Videotron and Wind Mobile,) is sort of available for pre-order from Best Buy Canada. There's nothing online, but if your trudge over to your favourite Best Buy and plunk down CAD $50, they'll put you on the list and holler at you when the units arrive.

The two smartphones are expected to launch "within 30 to 60 days."
