Man now I'm not sure want I wanna do. I currently have AT&T but was planning on switching to Verizon for either the Nexus One or the HTC Incredible. hmmm now I got to think about it.

just wait for verizon. at&t is horrible. I can't wait to get off of them..
AT&T has been pretty bad lately, but I wonder how much of their issues is because of the iPhone's hardware. My Contract with AT&T doesn't end till summer of 2011. I like not having a contract either but the wife hates AT&T.
This is HUGE news... I hate AT&T with a passion, but more Nexus Ones is a good thing for all... their sales are low (which on the flipside, is great for exclusivity .... but more Nexi, means quicker rollouts of updates, and hopefully more and better apps too...

If I switch to this from the iPhone exactly what happens? I assume I place my iPhone's SIM into the N1. What happens to the plan I currently have? Thanks much!

pop in the SIM and use the phone as you normally do. at&t sees a different imei number and that's about it. you're already paying $30/monthly for data so that won't change. i've been using unsubsidized phones on at&t for the last 4 years (because at&t has a limited selection) and haven't had any problem.

You might also have to call AT&T and have them change your data plan since on T-mobile I had to change my data plan to an "android data plan" to get it to work even though I changed from a G1 which they said had its own data plan.
I believe the only time you would have to call AT&T to change data plans is if you have a Blackberry and you are trying to swap to a non Blackberry. AT&T separates their Blackberry data plans from other smartphone data plans.

Bought a G1 on the day it was released, and then a Nexus 1 on the day it was released. I have not had to change anything on my data plan.
quick question, i have the N1 TMobile version, but using it with AT&T; also, i added the data block on my line, now if i were to get the ATT version, would i be able to use it without their data plan as i am near wifi 80-90% of the time?
i may just put up mine on craigslist and get the ATT version
And before the Verizon version... wow, what a slap in the face. What next? Next week the Sprint version appears, and on the 22nd of March, the Virgin/Boost Mobile/Metro PCS/etc. version is launched on the Google website?
screen cracking issues? Do you believe everything you read?
When it's true, yes I do believe what I read. Haha... No seriously, are they replacing those delicate screens with something a little sturdier? And are they planning to fix the issue with the dust getting under the screen or is that some sort of conspiracy as well?
I wonder if att will require these new n1 users to have data plan. One of the reasons why I bought this phone was because I wanted a phone that could use wifi, was unlocked, and didn't force me to pay for a data plan.

I'm fairly sure you have to considering that's where all the carrier's have been heading toward.
I'm really excited about this. I'm locked to At&t since my father and brother have iphones, and have been waiting for an android phone for forever. But I have a few questions.
1. Can I get this phone and then use it with the unlimited data plan meant for non-smart phones. Also, if I can but At&t eventually finds out, do they fine me ridiculously, or just for what I should have paid originally.
2. As multitouch is rather important to me. If for some awful reason Google remote nerfs the phones for some legal reason, I assume rooted I can get all the functionality that they have now?

at&t will do you a small favor and change you to the smartphone data plan and you'll be notified via text message. its triggered by an imei change on your account.

Thanks!
yeah, i'd like to see Google do something like that, lol. ok, seriously, once it's in your control, you control it. root it and you decide to accept/reject updates. be sure you understand what you're giving up by unlocking/rooting.
thats the only thing that was keeping me from it. now time to read up on sense UI
I'm curious to see if they also locked up the hole to gain root access, and if the different 3G frequencies will make it incompatible with the ROMs available at the moment.
Still, even if there were differences, it wouldn't be too long before the existing ROMs were adapted to work on the AT&T version.
I don't believe att will lock up anything. I think the main reason for this version is canada. It just so happens (bonus) that that makes it att compatible. It will be the same exact phone.
The reason I think this is that it's just like buying any other sim unlocked phone that was compatible with canada. I believe at some point att will revolt and go after this small loophole that's been going on for a while. (media net) And fine or retroactively bill you, us.

i am so happy this is a Google phone and, hopefully at&t didn't indirectly, subversively have a say regarding setup, etc. my hope this that we can use existing custom ROMs (e.g., Desire ROM), kernels, etc on the at&t version. i'm (impatiently) waiting to read feedback on unlocking the bootloader and rooting the at&t version before i make another donation to Google. it would be nice if you could use the same radio software/firmware on both versions (like i did on my UK Touch HD (no US 3G) and my Telstra Touch HD (at&t 3G)). ok, i acknowledge i could be dreaming here, lol.
@jbrinkley - at&t has already closed the data plan loophole; using the T-Mo N1 on at&t will eventually result in the subscriber being moved to the $30/monthly smartphone plan. it happened to me, lol.
Just ordered mine for tomorrow delivery. I currently have a company paid for 3GS and Blackberry 9700 which I like. (Apples and Oarnges). Since ATT does not have this through the corporate plan I have to pay out of pocket . So far from what I have been reading is that I am going to love or hate this phone. Glad CA has 30 day return policy although I will loose $45 if I return it. I am an EAS user so I already see that as being one issue.
I love how if you have an ATT sim with the Blackberry data plan you can use it in any phone as long as you use the APN settings. Been doing that for years.
based on info posted by 1 user at xda, the at&t version has the EPE54B ROM with the ERE36B radio; this is the same ROM/Radio that was leaked a couple of weeks ago... would be grateful if some of the at&t early adopters would post their software info here as well. thanks!
I just started mine up and so far I've noticed that it doesn't hold a 3G signal as well as my iphone 3G does. I'm in the office I work at and my iphone had full 3G bars. Swapped the sim into my new Nexus One and I get 2 3G bars and now it's stuck on Edge. Didn't T-Mobile users have this same problem?
If anyone wants me to look up any info I'd be happy to. This is my first android so you'd have to tell me where to look. =P
Keep us posted on this. If an iphone has better reception then the ATT N1 we have a problem.

Long before the Nexus One launched, the media was filled with speculation, buzz, rumors, and excitement regarding the possibility of a "Google Phone". The rumors were put to rest when Google announced the Nexus One, the first ever Google ... Read More
Google now offering a AT&T 3G compatible Nexus One!
