instead of asking for comments, mind reading the forum for 10min? there are tons of similar threads asking about A vs B vs C vs.......... . please search for threads before creating new one.

1. NS have some screen problem. OB have buggy rom.
2. battery life is usual from what you expect from most Android mobiles. 1day heavy use, 2day casual use.
3. pick any, doesn't really matter much. both have almost same power SOC. but sometimes performance increases if you try some custom/unofficial ROMs.
4. update coming in a month. expect it to be here by September end.
5. don't know. there shouldn't be any as both have powerful internals but depends on the OS. LG used customized/skinned Android 2.2. so it mayn't be as swift as stock Android on NS.

Nexus S will be the first phone to get the Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) update.

LG Optimus Black is still on Froyo, not even Gingerbread. ROM is buggy, still does not support video chat using front facing camera... So, forget about it...

Buy Nexus S...

Thanks for the reply. Ya i have read in forums but still confused have seen the specs also but want to know from the actual user.

1) Which of the 2 phone is future proof? which will get android 4.0 ice cream update?

2) Which of the 2 has better battery life?

3) Is there too much difference between Lg otpimus 1 GHz Cortex-A8 processor, PowerVR SGX530 GPU, TI OMAP 3630 chipset and Nexux s 1 GHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor, PowerVR SGX540 GPU, Hummingbird chipset in terms of gaming performance ?

^PowerVR SGX540 GPU is far superior than PowerVR SGX530 GPU.

As terabyte said - PowerVR SGX540 in Samsung Hummingbird chipset is far better than SGX530.
Note : SGX540 can overpower Adreno 205(present in new Scorpian processors)...
