Nexus One on ATT anyone ?

[RICHXPS]

Hi, is anyone running the Nexus on ATT ? If so can you give a quick review on how it works on the 2g ?

Thanks

Well you won't suffer from the same spotty 3G issues like those users on T-Mobile but that means you are stuck on a S-L-O-W Edge only connection. To me, if I am going to pay $530 I want a device with 3G.

If you don't mind slow data speeds along with it's premium price, then go for it. If not wait a while as AT&T will have a similar HTC Android device.

*and no wifi only is not good enough for me.

I am using my nexus one with at&t right now. Phone reception is fantastic compared to my iPhone 3G and web browsing is not comparable when I use wifi on both. I will switch to T-Mobile soon

I'd hold off on that man... Granted, i guess if your month to month it doesn't matter.... But i have not had a good experience with T-Mobiles 3G network....

It's slow as hell, that's when you actually get the signal. :rolleyes:

After using the MT3G I couldn't tell the difference between EDGE and 3G but after using this phone I can't understand how people lived with EDGE in the first place. I recommend that you wait for the AT&T 3G android phones to come out

i am running on AT&T and it works great. Reception and voice quality are way better than what I experienced on the 3G iPhone. Edge is adequate in my area (Philly) for Google searches, twitter, traffic updates and Google Nav. I save the web browsing for WiFi. I really don't miss 3G at all (especially the dropped calls) -

disclaimer: work pays for the phone. If I were paying $30mo for data - I would probably insist on 3G too.

If I sign up T-Mobile it will be month to month. When I had G1 briefly 3G wasn't that slow and now T-Mobile rolled out 7.2 in Chicago I don't see any reason why AT&T would be faster. Coverage? Hah. AT&T's coverage is a joke. Either or T-Mobile 's 3G should be faster than AT&T's edge and cheaper.

Not going to turn this into a carrier debate but I'm shocked you get poor service with AT&T in Chicago. My service in the area is top notch.

On the other hand T-Mobile is very poor here so I would not even attempt to try the Nexus One personally. Whatever works best for you is the way to go.

I can't imagine going back to EDGE only.. Wifi can be great but you will never always have it.

Awful lot of money to pay to have a sweet phone that is hampered by EDGE.

I just went from a Blackberry Bold 9000 on AT&T 3G to the Nexus One on AT&T EDGE and the Nexus is much quicker. Network speed means nothing if the data bottlenecks at your device. The google navigation works fantastic over EDGE and I was worried about that but it zips right along faster than Telmap Navigation(50 bucks a year) on my Blackberry on 3G. Although I will say the Telmap Navigation is top notch if you are using a Blackberry, but I wouldn't trade Telmap on 3G for Google Nav on EDGE. Google Nav is much richer and full featured and has a better search function, all while at a slower network speed!
