    [quote=exsdgal]flu, can you comment about the network speed with your Nexus S on ATT? Thx.

    Prior to Nexus S, I had the Nokia N95 3g on ATT and consistently got 3g signal. I believe the Nexus S does not support the ATT 3g band, just curious what your experience has been on ATT.[/quote]

    There is a version of nexus s that supports the ATT 3G band versus T-Mobile.

    I9020A I believe is the ATT version
    I9020T I believe is the Tmobile version

    HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 – i9020A for AT&T
    HSDPA 900 / 1700 / 2100 – i9020T for T-Mobile

    [quote=AN]LTE is an entirely different network. So, the short answer is no. What I’ve read is that, even LTE phones between VZW and AT&T are not compatible due to the different frequencies that the 2 LTE network operate at.[/quote]

    I see. I read some articles saying that starting this summer AT&T is rolling out their LTE but only in six cities, none of which are here unfortunately.

    Wonder if I should hold out on buying a new phone that is capable of LTE… Decisions, decisions. How long do you guys think it will be until we get AT&T LTE service in San Diego? I would assume that SD would be one of the major “2nd tier” markets. Of course if I wait another 6 months I can just switch to VZW and get an LTE phone for sure.

    I have no idea when AT&T will provide SD w/ LTE coverage, but I know VZW has been expanding their LTE network very aggressively this past year.

    [quote=CDMA ENG]What they really are saying is that currently they plan to make thier devices frequency dependent. I predict this will last about a year. Simple truth is that the handset makers radio will be able to do business on all of these frequencies. The chip makers do not want to retool to make the chip frequncy dependent therefore there will be some hardware or software fix, to limit searchable frequencies, for this which will take some smart hacker all of about 6 months to figure out. Trust me, someone will jail break these devices and then it game on. The handset is being hijacked as to hopefully keeping the consumer with them. Eventually these tactics fall apart and techincally the phone will be able to handle all of the 700 block and 2100 AWS spectrum.

    This is all just a marketing scheme for now.

    So, in essence, you’re saying I was right w/ my original state of:
    [quote=AN]What I’ve read is that, even LTE phones between VZW and AT&T are not compatible due to the different frequencies that the 2 LTE network operate at.[/quote]
    You’re speculating that they’ll play nice in the future, but that’s nothing more than speculation. We’ll have to wait and see, but in the mean time, LTE devices today or in the next year can’t be used across the 2 different network.
