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.

Bloomberg: Merger talks of Sprint and T-Mobile USA.

Bloomberg reports that Deutsche Telekom and Sprint are discussing merger of T-Mobile USA and Sprint. This would be an interesting merger since currently T-Mobile USA is using GSM while Sprint is using CDMA. Then again, the merger would happen after both companies roll out their LTE network.

Should the merger happen today, the slogan could be:

“SprinT-Mobile USA, We still ain’t got the iPhone.”
