AT&T and Rogers Wireless Nexus One launches

16 March 2010 by Chris Davies



It’s taken them long enough to deliver, but Google have finally added a version of the Nexus One with support for AT&T and Rogers Wireless’ 3G/UMTS bands.  Priced at the same $529 as the original Nexus One, the new handset supports the 850/1900/2100MHz frequencies as well as being quadband GSM.

The addition follows news reports from analysts that sales figures of the original Nexus One have been particularly disappointing, with only 135,000 devices shipped in the first 74 days it was on sale.  One of the key criticisms of Google has been that they failed to add in AT&T support, leaving Nexus One buyers only able to use T-Mobile in the US if they wanted 3G connectivity.

So far there’s no sign of a subsidized AT&T/Rogers Nexus One on Google’s phone site.

[Thanks Toby!]

  21. This was a bit out of the blue for everyone – we expected to see it eventually after the AT&T’d-out Nexus One cleared the FCC, but then Google made no mention of it whilst heralding that the Verizon Nexus One was “Coming Soon!”. It may be a surprise, but it’s a very much welcome surprise.

    Alas, the handset is only being sold unlocked, sans contract. There’s currently no way to get it subsidized with an AT&T discount, implying that AT&T wasn’t interested in offering the phone officially. I wonder why.

    Guys for the ones using AT&T can buy from googles sim free with out any contract or AT&T unnecesary rom applications.

    Nexus One now compatible with the AT&T 3G network and shipping to Canada

    In early January, we announced the Nexus One, the first device sold through Google's web store. The Nexus One is unlocked, which means you can use it with a SIM card from most GSM operators worldwide. Currently the device is compatible with most 3G networks, including T-Mobile in the US. However, there are some carriers that have different 3G frequencies, such as AT&T in the US and Rogers Wireless in Canada, so users with these SIM cards can only access 2G or EDGE networks on their Nexus One.

    Starting today, an additional version of the Nexus One is available from the Google web store that is compatible with AT&T’s 3G network. This new model can be purchased as an unlocked device without a service plan. In addition to AT&T’s 3G network, this device will also run on Rogers Wireless in Canada. And like the first version of the Nexus One, it can be used with most GSM operators globally.

    Additionally, Nexus One devices can now be shipped to Canada from Google’s web store, and will work with a SIM from Rogers Wireless. To find out which version you should purchase, based on your mobile service provider, please visit our Help Center.
  23. I wonder how many people with n1's now that has t-mobile bands on at&t services are gonna try n switch, Google might have some new problems on their hands lol.

    I agree. And, if I understand correctly, the "new" N1 supports TMobile and ATT 3G... so it would be a more valuable option because you are free to use either carrier.

    This actually makes me kind of disgruntled that mine does not have that capability in case I would want to switch carriers (not going to switch to ATT, just saying it would be a nice option) or sell the device down the road (more potential buyers if it supports ATT and TMo 3G).

    Meh, whatever.

    *EDIT* : nevermind... I read some more info and found that there are just 2 GSM versions now. One supports the TMo 3G bands and one supports the ATT/Rogers 3G bands. (then the Verizon CDMA will be coming shortly)

    Wonder what this means for custom ROMs, 3 different kernels now to support different models or what? Talk about segmentation

    Today I have a WinMo Device with me to check some beta test Applications and I almost don't test non of them and My battery is dry
  30. I'm a little annoyed at Google. They're releasing specific versions of the phone which won't work with 3G networks of other carriers. What happened to the open ideology? They could have created one version for GSM that supported both 3G bands but they're deliberately not doing so... don't understand why.
  31. This is so funny I think Google have some situation with maps!I hurry up all my patients actually My wife is covering me now I go only with http://www.google.com/phone/ and I try to Buy My shiny new N1 and you know what happens a Pop up jump an said: Sorry, the Nexus One phone is not available in your country or region.

    I put CCard back write a message to Google and again to work without good news

    Means if you live in Puerto Rico and like a Nexus One please send a message to Google to make them know we are the part of US
  32. There isnt a piece of hardware that allows multiple 3G radios yet, especially on completely different hardware like cdma/gsm.
  33. Wow Googles Have serious problems thats way they don't sell the device in the way suppose.see the message they send to me I think in their maps i live in Hong Kong or Singapore. I think they try to conquer to much and is better one step at a time.

  44. I was going to buy it, but then I found out that the Nexus One is only using Synaptics Clearpad 2000 which is the same touch panel that was used on the G1.
  45. Do you guys think AT&T will support OTA updates like Google has done with T-Mobile? It doesn't seem like AT&T is entirely on board with this phone (no contract subsidy option) so I wonder if updates will be handled the same way...
  46. Google handles all the updates for the n1 not the carrier You just have to have data or wifi for your phone to know, unless you do it manually of course.

    and that's the first complaint directly related to the touch panel, care to elaborate?

    Is no problem Jason I never use any AT&T phones I always buy a sim unlock model I just use the phone plan with data and works great
