Not Anymore, You AT&T!

AT&T needs to update some of its Terms and Conditions. The last time I checked, AT&T is no longer Apple’s exclusive carrier partner for iPhone in the United States. Back in January 11th, 2011 Apple announced that iPhone 4 was coming to Verizon. iPhone 4 then made its official debut on Verizon network on February 10th, 2011.

AT&T-Compatible Google Nexus S.

It took a few months for Google to release AT&T-compatible model following the initial release of Nexus One. I was also hoping for another AT&T-compatible model of Nexus S; the one featured on Google Nexus page is compatible with T-Mobile USA, but not AT&T 3G network. I remembered reading that there is an AT&T-compatible Nexus S model. After further searching and reading, I found the Nexus S I’ve been looking for. It is available through Amazon and Negri Electronics.

The AT&T-compatible supports the following radio frequencies: GSM 850, GSM 900, GSM 1800, GSM 1900, 3G 850, 3G 1900 and 3G 2100.

Why AT&T you ask?
I prefer GSM-based phones because I can easily take out the SIM Card from one phone to the other; maintaining only one wireless phone account. Currently, only on AT&T I can use Nexus One, Palm Pre 2 and an iPhone.

I have yet bought the Nexus S.

Model number: I9020A
Comes in Black or White.

Windows 7 Experience Index on 2011 15-inch MacBook Pro Core i7.

I finished installing Windows 7 on 2011 15-inch MacBook Pro Core i7 through Boot Camp early this morning. Why you asked? Because there’s a specific audio software that would run on Windows. I tried using virtualization within Mac OS X but it performed so poorly. I did upgrade the RAM to 8GB.

Anyway, here’s the Experience Index:

Android Gingerbread 2.3.4 for Nexus One.

I had the Nexus One off most of Tuesday evening. I turned it on 20 minutes ago and saw the update notification.

I was hoping for some new features for the Nexus One, unfortunately those new features are available only for Nexus S.

Speaking of which, I am using numbers of phones on AT&T network including an iPhone and Nexus One. I was thinking about getting a Nexus S and found out that there’s one that is compatible with AT&T network.
