I don't get it. How are you stuck with 2G? Shouldn't you just get 3G once AT&T launches with Nexus support? The source says you just pop in your AT&T sim and you're good to go...
Edit: Ahhh I see now. https://www.google.com/phone/choose?hl=en&gl=US&s7e=
Lets you pick either AT&T or T-Mobile. Can't you try contacting Google about it? I'd hope they can be generous enough to take care of you.

I still don't see why he can't use 3G. I'm on Telus and even though Telus doesn't sell that phone, if I were to stick my SIM card in it, I would get HSPA (3G+).

I need a new phone, currently on rogers and the nexus one would probably be my #1 option but i really see no point in paying 529$ when i could get another android phone for 179$ if i just add an extra year on my contract.
The problem really is that there are no special rates if you choose to pay for the phone yourself, i mean bottom line here is i am going to have to do business with one of these companies regardless, might as well get an almost free phone for my trouble.
Videotron launches their own network in may/june, i guess i will wait to see what the rates look like since i already have all my other services with them i fully expect some really good rates with them, plus they will have phones that come with sling player like service built in which i find really cool.
The bonus in waiting till june is i get to see what the new iPhone looks like, might be worth the wait.

Kiching! $$$$.
Lol you could make $300-$400 from the sale of a 3gs, and the nexus is only $550 shipped to canada. so itll only end up costing you ~200, which is how much you were going to pay for a different "almost free" phone anywas.
