Google Nexus One 3G wireless network available through AT&T

Apparently, a new version of Google's Nexus One smartphone will be available through AT&T's 3G wireless network.
It is already possible to purchase the Nexus One unlocked for $529. But the Android-based phone that has just come out supports GSM radio frequency bands. Until soon, the only 3G wireless bands that it supports are on T-Mobile USA's network.

This means that customers wishing to use the "unlocked" phone on AT&T's network can access only AT&T's 2.5G or EDGE network. And even though AT&T has been criticized for network quality, the company has a much larger 3G footprint than T-Mobile.

But soon customers wanting the Google Nexus One will have an option. According to documents filed at the Federal Communications Commission, a new version of the Nexus One will operate in the 3G wireless bands for WCDMA Bands I, II, and V, which are used by AT&T and Canadian wireless providers Rogers, Bell Canada, and Telus Mobility. The device will likely work throughout most of Europe, too.
This means that a version of the phone will likely be available for these networks soon. Google has already said that it will make a version of the phone that can be used on Verizon Wireless and Sprint Nextel's networks. That version is expected this spring.
