The sharp-shooting gumshoes from Engadget also tracked down that appear to have been taken with Nexus S devices and then posted to Flickr and Picasa. According to Engadget, the photos all came from Google employees and are linked to smartphones with the model number GT-i9020. An for that device includes a sketch that bears a noticeable resemblance to the phone seen in today's leaked images.

Best Buy has given us a couple of different clues about the Samsung Nexus S today. First, a banner appeared on the company's Web site advertising a "Pure Google" phone called -- you guessed it -- the Nexus S. Discovered by Android blog , the banner stated that the Nexus S would be "available only at Best Buy this holiday season." It also featured a broken image with alternate text saying the phone would be offered on T-Mobile. Best Buy has since taken the ad down.

Another page on Best Buy's site, meanwhile, was later a previously unseen Android device that matched the Nexus S profile.
