I think he was adding the 2 GSM cell carriers in Canada(Bell & Rogers) to T-Mobile & AT&T since the poster was from Canada. But it won't be 3G except on T-Mobile.

Hey Karl - Did you see that T-Mo flashed their network to 7.2mbps today? I'm getting about 3mbps down and 300k up on speed tests on my G1 now.

| Yep, writing something up now. They've made some nice progress since the beginning of 2008. Will be nice to see 21 Mbps HSPA+! |

Re: Nexus One I was thinking the same thing. But again, even if it's custom made for T-Mobile particular flavor of HSDPA, it won't via anything other than AT&T's EDGE network.... |

"Today, at launch, from »www.google.com/phone , you can purchase a Nexus One with service from T-Mobile USA."
So looks like T-Mobile is only one offering this phone at first. As well as Google selling it unsubsidized.
$530 unlocked, $180 with T-Mobile plan.
Verizon CDMA version coming in the Spring.
Vodaphone in the EU later in the year and then Asia. |

1 edit | For Nexus One Google is merchant of record, HTC is manufacturer and it ships from HTC.
And Android 2.1 available to all manufacturers in a couple days. BUT it could be a long time before they(the manufacturers) upgrade the OS on older phones like G1; Droid; etc. |

The $400.00 question is, of course, if you finish your contract, will they unlock the phone? My guess, is of course, no.

Comments and quotes from various sources says Phone is sold UNLOCKED from the get go. Just swap sim card at any time. Of course, if you terminate the T-Mobile contract early you will be hit with a $200 ETF. |

| So, you get a $500.00 phone for 180, wait for them to change the terms of service, and cancel, and voila, you have a $400.00 ebay sellable phone? Sounds like a good plan.

T-Mobile’s termination fee is $200, and some users might be tempted to buy the T-Mobile version and terminate immediately, paying just $379 for the unlocked phone. Google says that users terminating too soon will be charged the full price of the phone, however. But even the T-Mobile version of the phone can be used overseas on trips by slipping in a different SIM.

Are you sure about that? I thought that the G1 was not compatible with HSPA+ and will not get those speeds. |

On the first day I got the MT3G, I requested the unlock code. Got it within a week. I was upgrading so I had way more than 90 days already done.

Buyers beware: people who choose the subsidized new Google Nexus One phone with a T-Mobile contract will get hit with US$550 in early termination fees if they cancel their service in under four months.
That's because both Google and T-Mobile plan to charge buyers early termination fees.
