I'm looking for a new phone and att has nothing that is worth buying right now. Will I be able to make calls on a nexus s with my att sim in it. I mostly run my phone on wifi but when I'm out I just want a descent phone.
Thanks

It has to be approved by the FCC/DOJ/etc. I seriously doubt it'll get approved. Sprint is fighting this. And no, it wouldn't be a stupid idea. It's a good phone, people are over exaggerating about this purchase.
The other alternative if I was to make a phone purchase would be the G2x probably but that phone isn't unlocked so... Nexus S is purely unlocked from the beginning including ability to unlock the bootloader.

There are checkins to the aosp repo that reference an at&t radio (kb2) for the crespo (ns), so there is hope if you have the patience to see if it becomes a reality.

An ATT version is coming very soon from solid rumors, so you really should just wait a few weeks to get the proper working version if it comes out.

Ahh, too true. I've known some buddies employed with them. Amazing discounts. And they do let you have android devices now, instead of just the iPhone.

its not a matter of it being unlocked, you can purchase them unlocked from alot of places. its a matter of NONE of them being able to utilize tmobiles 3g/4g AWS bands. They will only work on edge as far as data goes.

Did you use your SIM card from your Atrix? I'm thinking about doing it since I have an iPhone 2g laying around, but I'm not sure if it'll work with my SIM card that already has a data plan.
But I'm still waiting to see if I even use all of the data I can. There is no point in spending an extra $5/month on something I don't need.
I was grandfathered in from an iPhone plan. Yay me
the iphone 2g is the only phone that will force att to give you unlimited internet. but back in January att said they will allow all prior att iphone customers to get unlimited back on there contract (provided it is the same number/contract) had they removed the feature at any time.
so I'm pretty glad I had an iphone. even if I had to deal with all the bs like no mms, no tethering unless it was jail broken, no video, crappy camera that didn't work indoors or if it was cloudy without a tripod. wow that phone sucked for the first couple years. but I'm glad I had it.
This is interesting.
Now to try and get my hands on an iPhone.

They bent over backwards for Apple because they have been kicking themselves since they passed on the iPhone the first time. They saw the chance to steal a big amount of AT&T iPhone users and jumped. Now if they actually stole a lot of AT&T iPhone users is a different matter. I don't think they stole that many so far. I think when the next iPhone comes out, they will see a big influx.

I said what I said because Verizon changed their closed ways for a iphone... Not sure why they wouldn't do it for an Android phone. The nexus phones are sellers as well and if they really want to take away users from all carriers (not just at&t) they need to have one in their line up.
They will be able to take advantage of having the fastest network (while they still can) with a 4G nexus phone.
Talk about killing it! They would rape the competition having an iPhone and a 4G nexus phone.
The time is now if they are smart.

No LTE yeah, but really wasn't your life chugging fine until now anyways? Realistically, if I got to choose again, I'd take the nexus over the skyrocket. The software pains are absolutely horrible compared to the HSPA pains.
There's always the future software upgrades, nexus will keep you on top of them for at least two revisions, don't expect that from AT&T.
