What conditions is it in? Go on to Ebay and Craigs List and get some ideas.
When I was searching I see anywhere from $300 to $400 for "Good" and up to about $450 to $500 for "mint".
Keep in mind what one person think "mint" might not be another person's "mint":D

Just use the Nexus on EDGE- there is nothing on AT&T that compares. Unless you can put up with the disgrace to mobile phones that the iPhone 4 is.

Nah, my wife has their galaxy phone, captivate I think? It isnt horrid out of the box and with a little work it performs pretty well. I'll leave the materials out of it, they dont compare but since I put my phones in a case right off the bat I could care less as I never see them. Primary function that I would miss would be the trackball, forgot how much fun it was to try and edit text by attempting (over and over) to hit the sweet spot. Easier to just delete back to the mistake and start over from there. Still life could be a lot worse than to be stuck with that phone. Also over there is the x10 which has more downsides than the sammy piece but might be worth a look for the right person. These and the iphone are about the only handsets worth talking about for the moment.

I've never once used the N1 trackball to edit text. With practice you'll get REALLY good at hitting that sweet spot the first try. I only use the trackball for waking the device and color notifications. I had too many Blackberry trackballs get ruined by too much use to ever use my N1 trackball that way.

I admit I would miss the trackball, but in my case for the color notifications. I love coming back to my desk and knowing what is waiting just by looking at the trackball. :)

lol, yeah, maybe a young whipper snapper or crackberry user might find it easy but being old and pathetic I find it near impossible. I use the volume to wake as it appears to be the hard button with the least breakage reports. Considering that I seldom need to edit text and I use the trackball for nothing else I'm guessing mine might be around longer than yours.

I am gonna get flame for this but....
Iphone 4 is not half as bad you think. I have a n1 for my daily use. I dont think i will trade it in for a new device. However i was sick and tired of running my battery down by using it as my mp3 player so i picked up a ip4 to use as my music player. I was very surprised how smooth it runs. However the UI is plain and boring though. Maybe that was what apple was going for plain and boring. Android is very customizable. Make your own style.
Anways forgive me of this mumble jumble talk of ip4.
There is always a nexus one for att which i use. You can leave from n1 to att n1.

Yeah, you don't have to sell your Nexus Ones.

You use them on ATT with Edge, and in the mean time you keep searching craigslist and posting ads in other places wanting to trade your TMobile Nexus One for someone who has a ATT Nexus one.

Easy as pie. I've done that, my friend has done that. Sure N1's, especially ATT ones are hard to find, but just keep looking. It's a phone that has no equal, it's worth it.

I just traded a captivate for a Att nexus one. They are rare and it took me a month or more to find one

Just find someone to trade Tmo version for AT&T version. I may be switching carriers with two of my lines. Not sure if Tmo is the carrier I'm choosing yet though. If a decision is made soon I will let you know.

If you can't find an AT&T-compatible N1, try finding an unlocked Telus HTC Desire. It's largely the same hardware, and if you don't want Sense you can flash Cyanogen or OpenDesire.

Maybe I'm just a glass half full kinda guy but at least with att your phone will work in buildings and between cities and they do have decent androids unlike when they just had the backflip or whatever it was called. The sgs is definitely stellar and I thought there was an att compatible nexus (not just the tmo one on E)

You've got that right, deleting and starting over is really frustrating but less so than tapping my screen for five minutes. I wonder what the testers did that worked so well that the SGS got past design and all the way to stores like that
