iFixit has taken apart the new Google Nexus S. They have given the Nexus S a repairability score of 7 out of 10 due to needing a heat gun to separate the glass from the LCD.
One observation they made was that the curved Nexus S screen has only curved glass and not a curved LCD. iFixit found the Contour Display name a little misleading.
A few observations made show that the Super AMOLED display does away with a digitizer and that capacitive touch sensors are integrated in to the display.
Inside a 1GHz Cortex A8 Hummingbird chip was found along with a memory package from Samsung. 16GB of flash from SanDisk was found as well as several other chips.
The device has a 1500mAh battery that provides about 6.7 hours of talk time per charge.
More details can be found over at iFixit where you can also see more teardown images, along with a step by step guide.
