Google's Nexus One Coming to AT&T

Filed in archive Mobile on March 16, 2010

Much to the delight of AT&T wireless users, Google has confirmed what many have been speculating for some time: The Nexus One smartphone is coming to AT&T's 3G network.

The new handset will run on the carrier's tri-band 3G network in addition to quad-band GSM frequencies. It will include the same 3.7-inch touch screen with vibration feedback, 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 5.0-megapixel auto-focus camera with LED flash and runs the latest version of Google's Android operating system with the Internet giant's services such as Gmail, Maps and Search.

The company is hoping the addition of AT&T users will help its lackluster sales numbers. Since releasing a version of the Nexus One for T-Mobile back in January, Google reports sales of some 135,000 units in the first 74 days on the market. By comparison, Apple sold one million original iPhones and Motorola shipped one million Droid phones during the same timeframe.
