AT&T / T-Mobile question about Bands??

[jimmiekain]

I have some interest in the new Samsung Nexus S. It will be launching on T-Mobile. I'm wondering how can I tell if it will work on AT&T? I'm trying to figure out how to tell which bands I need.

http://www.google.com/nexus/#!/tech-specs tells me that it runs on these bands.

Quad-band GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900
Tri-band HSPA: 900, 2100, 1700
HSPA type: HSDPA (7.2Mbps) HSUPA (5.76Mbps)

Does any of that equal full 2g / 3g support for AT&T? Also, how do you know?

Someone in another thread posted that you won't get 3G support. Not worth it IMO.

On a side note, I wish google hadn't selected Samsung for the manufacturer of the new Nexus device. I hope the Motorola Olympus doesn't disappoint.
