How do I get these features on the Nexus S 4G?

I used to have an HTC Incredible and now have the Nexus S 4G. I have to say that so far I liked the incredible better - except for the battery which would need to be charged by noon. Consequently, this made the phone unacceptable.

There are a couple of specefic things that I really liked about the incredible and I want to know if I can do this on the Nexus. 1) With the incredible, anytime I zoomed text in like on a website for example, it would automatically adjust and recenter the text within the viewing margins of the screen. This was such an awesome feature! With the Nexus, when you zoom text in, you then get the left to right scroll bar and you have to scroll back and forth to read text that is now out of the viewing area. I hate this! 2) I can't stand that I am forced to stop my text. How is it that every phone can't just allow you to text as large of a message as you want, and then just send multiple texts.

Does anyone know if there is a way to get these above features implemented on the Nexus S 4G?

Thx

Download Opera Browser in the market. It automatically adjusts and recenters the text for you.

As for the texting issue...I can't say I've heard about this being an issue before. I use chomp SMS (available in the market) and if I got over the 160 character limit, it will split and send as 2, 3, 4, or etc. texts after I send it off, but it still looks like one text on my end.

I also noticed the zoom feature doesn't work the same way it works on other Android devices. What you have to do to make it zoom and center correctly is use the zoom-in/zoom-out buttons on the screen (when you touch the screen, they pop-up in the bottom right corner). If you use those buttons, the browser will zoom in correctly. Annoying, but I'm getting used to it.

How do you get that to work? When I send a message through Chomp and it's more than 160 characters the other person receives it as all numbers and symbols and not how I wrote the text.
