as skunz said there is always a chance of an AT&T version, but for now T-Mobile 3G only.

Question is ATT 3G better than TMO

I am currently on ATT with IPhone 4. Ready to dump the iPhone and get the Nexus S.

Should I wait for the ATT to come out? Is ATT 3G better than TMO? Why?

Thanks

Is your contract over? I'm guessing not You'll be stuck with EDGE (2G) on AT&T if you decide to get the Nexus. Wait a month or two, they should have an AT&T version in the works, hopefully

T-Mobile 3G is 4x faster than ATT 3G.

And wtf guys?

I'm pretty sure the Nexus S natively supports AT&T 3G:

Quad-band GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900
Tri-band HSPA: 900, 2100, 1700

http://www.google.com/nexus/#!/tech-specs

"AT&T uses the 850/1900 MHz frequency spectrum for 3G data"
"T-Mobile exclusively uses the AWS 1700/2100 MHz frequency-ban"

Here we have 850, 1900, 1700, and 2100.

This is full 3g for ANYTHING. Whether it's T-Mobile, AT&T, Europe.. blah.

Quad-band GSM applies to EDGE/Voice only. HSPA bands on the phone are what you need to be looking at when determining 3g capability.
I has Nexus 4.
