Nexus One Coming with NAM 3G

Just noticed that the nexus one is coming to rogers soon, on the google.com/phone.

" Compatible with 3G on AT&T (U.S.) and Rogers Wireless (Canada)
Supports three 3G/UMTS bands (850/1900/2100 MHz) and four GSM radio frequencies (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)"

http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/n...gers-3g-bands/

perhaps something people on RS have been waiting for

I'm not sure how it really works. I read that a lot of people pretty much just order the phone from google instead of going to their carrier.

your title is misleading. you say that its coming to Rogers when in fact its just Google releasing a model that has NAM 3G.

got me excited for no reason...

How is it misleading? It can be used on Rogers network now, so it's "coming to Rogers".

sorry about the misleading post, but i believe that google.com/phone will probably be offering plans from rogers most likely like how t-mobile is since no one is the official carrier of the NAM version yet , the phone should come @ a subsided price as well but everyone is forced to order online, but they now ship to the great white north =)

It's misleading because "coming to Rogers" means that it will be carried by Rogers, not buying from Google and being able to use it on Rogers.

Thread title misleading, blauuuhhhhhgghh.

Needs more QWERTY, then I'd consider.

EDIT: Thread title no longer misleading.

This depends where its being shipped from
some places already broker the customs for you, ie: Newegg.ca
