Android 2.3 code hits the net
The Android 2.3 code is
being posted in the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) repositories. It would
have been nice to see it while it was under development, but this is far
better than nothing. "Even though Nexus S is designed to be suitable
for AOSP work, there are some caveats. I very strongly recommend against
trying to use Nexus S for anything related to AOSP at the moment. Trying to
unlock or use your Nexus S for AOSP work could easily turn it into a Nexus
B (where B means 'brick'); I have two of those, they're not very
useful."

The posting has been completed. JBQ is asking that people whom are only curious hold off a few hours or days to keep the kernel.org servers from buckling under the pressure: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/android-building/6l3gO_...
Kernel.org is already under a lot of load: http://twitter.com/#!/warty9/status/15892347757789184

Very much looking forward to getting my hands on it.

Isn't it supposed to be fully unlocked?

Nexus S is fully unlocked -- no network/carrier lock, and the bootloader supports "fastboot oem unlock" which allows you to flash your own OS builds.
JBQ's use of "brick" was unfortunate here -- the main issue is that the original factory system images are not available for download yet, so if you flash a custom build that doesn't work there's not a trivial way to restore to the original build.
We'll be getting this resolved soon.
