Now pointlessly enhanced with AI
Google is reportedly moving to patch a Wi-Fi Data Leak in Android. Android devices running Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread are not affected with the exception of Picasa http request.
To my recollection, there are less than a handful of Android devices running version 2.3.4 (and above) including Nexus One, Nexus S and Nexus S 4G. The upcoming Motorola Droid X2 will come with Android 2.2 Froyo.
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.
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.
Fans of Nexus One phone should be thrilled to know that the next Google-sanctioned phone is coming before Christmas. Google and Samsung are collaborating on Nexus S project.
After December 16, Nexus S will be sold unlocked and carrier-independent initially through Best Buy stores in the U.S. and after December 20 at Carphone Warehouse stores in the UK.
