I bought the Nexus One for AT&T about 2 years ago, am totally contract free, and even grandfathered in on an unlimited data plan at AT&T. I do some develop on Android, as well as iPhone, and have been trying to figure out what the best Android developer phone would be to upgrade to in the next 6 months or so. Preferably, I'd have something like the Nexus One that I can just buy outright and plug into my unlimited data plan at AT&T even if it costs a few more $$$. I'm pretty much underwhelmed by all the Android offerings at this point. What are developers looking forward to in terms of contract-free developer Android phones in the next 6 months?
- stanleydrew 15y agoAn unlocked GSM Nexus S or Galaxy Nexus is really the only way to go.
- jonstjohn 15y agoI was somehow under the (mistaken?) impression that the unlocked Galaxy Nexus would not work on AT&T or at least not work on AT&T 3G. A bit of research suggests this is not the case.
- ben1040 15y agoThis was an issue for the Nexus One and the Nexus S, but not anymore with the Galaxy Nexus. The Nexus S comes in two GSM versions, one that would only do 3G on T-Mobile's AWS band, and one come in a version that would do 3G on AT&T's 3G band. The AT&T model would only do EDGE on T-Mobile, and vice-versa. I think the AT&T version is only sold at Best Buy: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/null/Google-Nexus-S/pcmcat224600050004.c?id=pcmcat224600050004 http://www.bestbuy.com/site/null/Google-Nexus-S/pcmcat224600... The GSM Galaxy Nexus has a pentaband radio and so you'll get 3G on T-Mobile or AT&T all on the same model.
- jonstjohn 15y agoThanks for clearing that up - I hadn't really followed the changes to the bands.
- stanleydrew 15y agoI also get 4G on T-Mobile but not sure if that will be the case on AT&T as well.
