Nexus One Now Available for AT&T and Rogers 3G

You can now get a Nexus One from the Google phone store that is compatible with AT&T’s 3G frequency bands.
To clarify: Even though T-Mobile and AT&T are both using the GSM standard for their mobile networks the radio frequencies for their 3G data networks are different. For the consumer, that means you’ll need to buy a carrier specific phone in order to get 3G access .
A Verizon CDMA version should become available within days. I think this is the first time that the same phone (name, packaging) will be available on three different every major US mobile network. This should make things really interesting on eBay as people buying used Nexus One’s will have to make extra certain they are getting the one that works with their chosen mobile provider.
Update: Sprint just announced that they will also be getting the Nexus One.
