I looked around and I think that the best buy website has had GT-I19020T listed this whole time check out the images on these websites when the at&t nexus s was announced a couple weeks ago

AT&T Nexus S Now Available at Best Buy : MobileWhack.com
even today it is still listed as GT-I9020T and also there is nothing on the website that the at&t Nexus S is 3G unlike the T-moblie Nexus S page which clearly states 3G in the specs
Samsung - Google Nexus S Mobile Phone - Black (AT&T) - GT-I9020T
Google - Nexus S Mobile Phone - Black (T-Mobile) - GT-I9020T

The suffix "T" version is the handset for T-mobile network. It will NOT give 3G if used on the ATT network. Only 2G(aka EDGE) when used on ATT.

ATT's network uses a different frequency band for 3G than T-Mo, which is why the manufacturers must release separate models for each network.

Best Buy has had the suffix "T" version all this time, because that model was released many months ago, for T-Mo.

The suffix "A" version has now disappeared from the Best Buy site.

Best Buy is saying that the suffix "T" version is for ATT because you can use it to make voice calls and 2G data on ATT. They very carefully avoid mentioning that you cannot get 3G connectivity with that model on ATT.

You would be crazy to buy a data-centric phone, like Nexus S, and cripple it by using it on EDGE only.

This is why us ATT subscribers have been waiting soooo long for this particular Nexus S phone.

YES, EXACTLY...and why I bought on release day, knowing a bb price break would soon come, never expecting "free" in 10 days.

dana on the road

yes i understand the whole T at the end thing but i am saying i dont think the best buy website ever offered an at&t version of this phone online and people such as myself without this understanding might be using the t-mobile version without knowing it

Umm well they did offer it online and in Stores. I have it. It's on ATT and using 3G

Best Buy definitely did have the ATT version online. It got pulled right after "the deal". You could even navigate directly over to the ATT version at Best Buy via the Samsung Nexus S page.

Now, everything re-directs over to the T-Mo version.

I can't help but think that there was never any intention of more than a minimum production run of the ATT version, given that the release came so late in the product lifetime. In just a few more months, there's likely to be a new Nexus device, and I'm sure that nobody wanted to get stuck with inventory of an old model. This may be the end of the ATT Nexus S.

got my Nexus S a couple days ago the invoice inside the shipping box said GT-I9020T but luckily the label on the actual phone box said GT-I9020A so im good
this is a really great phone im glad i got the correct version but its sad that i got entertained with the lock screen animation for the first half hour of using it
