If Google is going to bypass the carriers by selling the Nexus S through Best Buy, why doesn't it include 3G frequencies that cover both GSM carriers in the US, as well as Europe and Asia for international travel.
Google made the same mistake with the Nexus One, so they had to manufacture two different versions (one for T-mobile and one for AT&T). I understand why US carriers don't want their phones working on competing carriers but if Google is trying to change the way cell phones are sold, they need to make the Nexus S a truly carrier agnostic device like Nokia did with the N8.
I would have suggested adding a CDMA antenna as well, but I doubt Verizon or Sprint would activate a phone that they did not have total control over.
