AT&T and the Nexus One

CSI Guy · 01-16-2010, 01:53 AM

I don't understand how the N1 works with AT&T. I use a Bold 9700 on AT&T, if I got a N1, do I just pop in the Bold sims card and off I go or do I have to call AT&T and have them set something up. Also if or when AT&T gets the N1 would my N1 begin using 3G?

You should be ok with the data plan but since it is a Blackberry plan you may have to change it. I know with my iPhone I could just swap sims and I would be good to go. And no you will never get AT&T 3G with the unlocked N1 as it does not support AT&T's 3G band.

You will be fine with your BB plan. I have mine running on my BB plan on T-Mobile. Everyone is telling people they need to switch to the android plan on T-Mobile and this is just not true. Like Jeremy said you will never get 3G. What i think is funny is that on my iPhone it auto corrects for "ATT" . On the nexus it does it for Verizon and T-Mobile. < that's the auto correction. I just find it humorous that of the major carriers att isn't in the dictionary.

I'm using my N1 with AT&T without any problem. I had. BB plan and as soon as I pit mu similar card in it, it worked right away.

I swapped a Bold 9000 sim into my Nexus and it works great. You won't get your @att.blackberry emails anymore but that's what GMAIL, etc.., is for.

Don't worry, you will not regret the move from Blackberry to Nexus. Just order the Nexus and remove the sim from you Bold and put it in the Nexus and you are off and running.

Plus, you can always pop the sim back into your Bold at anytime to retrieve your @att.blackberry emails.

I checked mine last night and I had 62 waiting for me.

No, the only solution is to migrate to gmail, etc..

You can only get your @att.blackberry email on your Blackberry device. Unless of course you change Blackberries and go into your BIS account and change the PIN to the new BB. To a BB user, the @att.blackberry email is the holy of holies. You only give that out to trusted sources as it is specific to your BB. Now, the great thing about BB's and BIS is that you can easily add othr email accounts to your device. @yahoo, @gmail, etc.., those are the addresses you give out to anyone.
