With little fanfare, Google has announced a version of the Nexus One compatible with AT&T’s 3G bands. The only version available previously was only able to get speedy 3G on T-Mobile. Pricing remains the same as the T-Mobile version at $529 for the unlocked phone. However, there is no carrier tie in here as there was for T-Mobile. This means that you won’t be able to opt for a subsidy on the handset in exchange for signing a contract. Google claims to be working with AT&T on a possible subsidy deal.
The T-Mobile version apparently sold only 135,000 units since release. With the phone now fully compatible with one of the largest carriers in the US, those lackluster sales may pick up a bit. Versions of the Nexus One are also slated to be released for Vodafone in Europe and Verizon in the US.
If you are currently an AT&T customer, a quick SIM card swap should get you up and running. New Customers will have to buy a $25 SIM card. So, are you Android faithful tempted by this, or are you holding out for the Verizon compatible handset?

$25 for a sim card? They must be crazy.

I was an iPhone user and I must say that my new Nexus one is a tad rough at times but overall stomps the iPhone!
Just so much faster and flexible!!
