      I wish it would come to verizon, tiny bit late or not. It would increase the chances of getting the next nexus

      I have a Sprint version and i can say, even late, it is still one of the best phones out there.  You have no idea how wonderful android is until you see it released from crappy UIs and overlays.

      That’s because according to Todd’s story earlier today, AT&Trite ONLY sells Apple branded tAmpons.

Over and over. My father analy raped me every night. Might have something to do with it. I’m sorry for my shitty trolling

    still may be late, but it’ll be the first android phone on AT&T to get the next android update.

    • Tim

      Other than the N1

      • Dwd3885

        doubt the N1 will be the first, probably second. Soon EOF

    • Steve Lee

      I dont see that happening …. do you ?.. at this point GS2 is the next shining star and I can almost smell it.

        Smells good too!

      • Nelson1002002

        That’s what she said!!!

    • Remington Jackson

      yeah the be Steve is right. The best you can hope for is that it comes to At&t before the end of the second quarter next year

    • Sam

      Now that at&t carries the nexus line, not to mention the fact that at&t and t-mobile will probably merge soon anyways, I think its very possible that we at&t customers will be some of the first to get the nexus prime

  • http://twitter.com/aids_ftw aids_ftw

    Finally a vanilla Android device!! 

  • Wirelessmodz

    lmfao really at&t you will not be my carrier if the merger goes through sgs2 is my next phone

    Great phone…there is no reason to change the design, it still looks great, but it is definitely time to update some of the internal hardware if it is to stay a high end device. At least they priced it sensibly.

    The Nexus S: AT&T’s Second Gingerbread device.

    The first, of course, is the HTC Status.

    The hilarity of Android updates and releases continues.

    It’s hard work keeping up with all of these android phones!

  • tecjunkewizkid

    The reason y they are launching this phone is because the new nexus; some say it’ll be called nexus prime will be able to support tmobile & at&t bands whether the merger goes through or not…consumers want the pure google experience and this is just a way for at&t to snag some of that audience…do your homework! Old phone, yes but still a good one…ummmm people still buy the evo; enough said!!

    I have a Tmo nexus s. It’s so underwhelming and disappointing I’ll never buy anything Samsung again, they really cut a lot of corners and crippled this “reference” phone. What a joke.

  • http://twitter.com/outdoor_michael michael

    does the AT&T  version have a radio?

    • Steve Lee

      Maybe.. but dont expect too much after all its made for at&t service…..

      • http://twitter.com/outdoor_michael michael

        sounds like a perfect match for a Samsung
