Nexus S comes to ATT

Now we need to get this firmware or radio for the 9120A for us ATT people.

I'm hoping now that it's being sold in US any of us who bought the 9020A unlocked online can get Samsung USA warranty support if required...

I suspect that it will be the 9020A that is currently being shipped in Canada.
@Skillz1318: Probably not. It's been my experience that warranties don't carry across the border, even if it's the same product. I'm suspecting that the IMEI's will be registered to a specific country and will only be serviced inside of that country.

Any idea att version work on att media net plan? I will be willing to upgrade to smartphone plan if i getting better speed. I know the phone is only hsdpa. maybe it will get better speed then my n1.

I'm due for an upgrade on July 26th for AT&T, should I jump on this or wait out for the Galaxy S II, I'm leaving for college mid August, and I'd like a new phone before then. I feel that I'd appreciate a 4" screen more than a 4.3", also this phone seems to be more proven than the Galaxy S II (I've learned my lesson from early adoption). The real question is, does the dual core matter for everyday use. I won't play very many games on it, mainly just browsing, gapps, phone use, etc?

I hope it's <$450 off contract :\
Why hasn't this been released months ago?!

It would really be great if the radio was uncapped and the gps performance would work better with the new att version.

I left att for sprint like a week ago.
Does att get 4g

No hspa+. Its only 3g.

In the same boat as you, friend ... although I'm just a 31 yo tech junkie and have been waiting for months to see a phone worthy if replacing my minuscule AT&T Aria which anything would be better.
I read that only Bestbuy and maybe Costco (the Atrix replacement memo) would be selling on Sunday but in 30 days when gs2 finally launches would it be possible to return the nexus s for the s2 and still get the subsidized price (assuming the Attain is sold there).

Anyone get the AT&T version yet? Looking forward to seeing what radio it's using.

I just picked one up today! Baseband is I9020AUCKE1.

I just picked one up, I was tired of my Nexus One's touchscreen issues.
The radio is baseband I9020AUCKE1.
It's pretty slow on the speedtest.net app. Around 2Mbps down and 500k up.
Even worse today.

how is your GPS performance? I have an unlocked 9020a and the GPS is terrible on it.
Works fine if you are walking outside, but if you're in a moving car, it struggles to keep a lock.
As for your speed, I'm getting similar (sometimes higher) speeds on the download side but about triple on the upload side. The radio may be capped for uploads.
Also, i'm on the KB3 radio from the radio thread in the dev forum.
Any way we can get this radio dumped?

I've started noticing a pattern to the search button problem. For me it rarely happens. I noticed it happening on 2 different occasions when I was in a transitional area that had little to no signal. Someone on here had mentioned that it had to do with the radio that was flashed and when I had the original radio that came with the device (for the first day I had it) it was going crazy all the time.
Once I flashed to KB3, it all but went away except for the 2 occasions that I mentioned above.
I'm interested to see what (if any?) changes were made with the AUCKE1 radio. I wonder how long it will be before someone dumps it.

they need to get their heads out of their asses and start supporting products period. you don't see hard drive manufacturers asking which country your hard drive is in. you send it in for RMA. same with any computer component.
phone manufacturers make this seem like the stone age. if you made my datacenter customers work this hard to return hard drives i think they'd dump you in a heartbeat Samsung.

Selected Carphone Warehouse UK have stock

Bad news is:
Only Newcastle City Centre, Leeds City Centre, London Oxford Street and one other I can't remember?
There are another 90 in central warehouse in Wednesbury
More bad news: they will not sell for cash, only on Vodafone monthly contract.
Had a try with one at the Leeds store and all the staff could say is "My God it's so BIG!

That's the bad news, they won't sell sim free. Vodafone contract only. He had no sim free pricing.
That's why I've ordered from Amazon.de at a lower price and should be here by the weekend.
If the CPW guy would have sold it today I may have been tempted, even at a possibly higher price.

That is bad news. I was holding off buying from Amazon.de and hoping to pick one up from CPW tomorrow, but if they are not selling sim free I guess I might as well order online, or maybe wait and see tomorrow after official launch date has passed?
CPW always offer SIM free prices, so it should change

When you got to see it, does it feel very big when holding it with one hand. Really silly looking when holding it to your ear ?

GS3 in AT&T Stores

I have looked around and haven't really found a thread on this, so I wanted to start one.
Can people who have been to their local AT&T stores report what the sales reps are telling you about GS3 availability?
My local stores are now saying they will be in stock on Monday, June 25th. Is this consistent with what anyone else has been told? Has anyone actually gone into an AT&T store and found that they did in fact get them in stock today?
Please report your findings.

the ultimate insult for pre-order geeks like myself would be to be able to walk in a store and buy a phone off the shelf that millions of people who pre-ordered are still waiting for.....that would be a PR nightmare no matter what carrier you are on
if I were PR for any of them I would tell all the stores to keep them "on backorder status" until the majority or all pre-orders are fulfilled

I've always walked in and bought the first one on release day
Don't bait the trolls.

i have talked with three at&t's stores here in houston..........
all of them had said, the 28th....and that they were getting 2 order/shipments....one for pre-orders and one for instore(first come first serve)

I was in my local AT&T store today because the sim card sent with my phone wasn't LTE so they swapped it out. They had no idea when the phones were coming in but they had just got cases while I was there.

All I can say is this:

I assume no, they will not sell them in store until those pre-orders are done.

Went to my local store twice in the last week and called another. My store told me that it was going to be available in store on 20th June. On 20th I was told that they have no idea when its coming and check back on 24th. One store that I called told me that they had no idea because there is no form official communication from AT&T. Both stores didn't even have display models.

I understand that people who pre-ordered feel entitled to have the phone before anyone else , but there have been plenty of launches where people got their preordered phones after the launch date. Preordering doesn't put you first in line, it guarantees you a device... Ugh... Get ourselves.

but if there is enough stock to "launch", assuming you mean phones in stores for walk in buyers, there was enough phones to fulfill preorders, which came first...

I have checked my local store several times and was told the official release date would be June 28..
And would not sell me one until then....

I had mine for a couple days. But its the same here where no one is selling it. Out of all the places I went only one even had a couple cases. Good luck getting it. The GS3 is one of my favorite devices. And is worth getting for sure.

Online in the USA

Hi there guys, I have a couple of questions;
First of all, will my Nexus 4 work in the US network? I assume so, because it's also sold there?
Second, I was thinking of buying a pre paid SIM-card there, so I can use internet on my phone for GPS etc. Is there a provider good for this? Like a lot of data but no text messages? I have no experience with US providers so I have no idea how everything works there.
So if any of you knows a good provider with decent 3G coverage and a lot of data for a low price, please respond. I'm going to California, if that matters.

T-Mobile would have the cheapest plans. You should call T-Mobile because they have a lot of plans they don't advertise on there site. You should have no problem with service in those 2 cities.
I would avoid San Fransisco. It's become a crap hole. Lake Tahoe just got a bunch of snow. You can stop in Palo Alto and visit Google.

Phone looks nice and feels great on my hand. I didn't activate the phone, and I'm just using Wi-Fi to go online. Very solid, and snappy. Hopefully someone can unlock it and I could use it on AT&T.

Wow! I was thinking of picking this up at Best Buy today, too. But I'm wondering, do they have the black version available at BB? The press release said so but Best Buy's website is only showing the white. I'm head over heels for this phone but if I can, I'd rather it in black. Any initial thoughts on the device?
Thanks!

I did not see the black one, and actually didn't know that there is a black version.

I also didn't know that, but we had the same idea just to use it as a wifi model lol ..I appreciate innovation.. I just bought a case off ebay though

Boost Mobile gets white
Virgin Mobile gets black.
I'm on Virgin looking to get the phone later this year but I kinda wanted it in White... not 100% sure though

Not too sure if using it on AT&T is going to be possible. The Sharp website only shows CDMA network bands..

Unless you meant the "Coming Soon", here are the links for it.
Boost:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/boost-m...hite/7278039.p?id=1219262037407&skuId=7278039
(Still says Coming Soon for some reason)
Sprint:

Virgin Mobile:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/virgin-...hite/7278011.p?id=1219262036901&skuId=7278011
(Removed)
And the Boost/Sprint ones won't work on GSM (AT&T / T-Mo). They're CDMA only.
Sprint is going to have one on a post-pay plan, but it's going to cost $240 ($10 a month for 24 months on Easy Pay, or $239.99 to buy it up-front). You can't use the Prepaid ones on Sprint Post-Pay plans.

Just a note to everyone: Even though the Sprint Pre-paid version on Best Buy is listed as white, the back of the phone is actually black! I went in last night and picked on up. Loving it so far if you have any questions or want any pictures I'd be happy to do so.

CDMA vs GSM

Phone looks nice and feels great on my hand. I didn't activate the phone, and I'm just using Wi-Fi to go online. Very solid, and snappy. Hopefully someone can unlock it and I could use it on AT&T.

Sorry.... I doubt you'll ever be able to use with AT&T or Tmobile because of different radios. I wish it were true because I have Tmobile and have found it to be THE BEST of all major carriers (at least in the Las Vegas NV valley). When my BoostMobile Aquos Crystal arrives on 10/17/2014, I plan to do comparison with my Note 3 and decide which phone to keep for the next year. Shap attracted me due to costing less than 1/4 of Note price, $35/month plan vs. over $50 for Tmo and the Sharp is simply the best looking touch screen phone I've ever seen (to date) that we can purchase now.

P.S. In past 8 years I've owned/used: Original iPhone, Nexus, Galaxy S3, S4, Note 3 and more Acer, Asus & Samsung tablets that I can remember! Rooted every one of them!

This phone already works on T-Mobile. I saw a video on youtube of a guy that did this.

If you read the other thread on bootloader.. etc., the guy with the video was wrong. He put in a T-Mobile SIM but was still using Boost 2g/3g data. Someone in that thread also tried themselves and were unable to get service with an At&T SIM. Those that are stating this phone is CDMA only are correct. You'll have to buy the international version to get GSM.

Uh, I see. I did not read any other threads about this. All I was relying on was that video. You are probably correct.

Wow! I was thinking of picking this up at Best Buy today, too. But I'm wondering, do they have the black version available at BB? The press release said so but Best Buy's website is only showing the white. I'm head over heels for this phone but if I can, I'd rather it in black. Any initial thoughts on the device?
Thanks!

Your best bets to just getting one of those body protection screens, like a screen protector for your whole phone, brushed alluminiam looks cool, also have black carbon fiber one

Also , its a nice phone, going from the tiny HTC one sv to this it took sum getting used to just because the size. But it doesn't feel too big do the screen taking up majority of the front, makes me wish they released the X over here, has a 5.5" screen and a thinner bar at the bottom of the front.
