White Nexus S with AT&T 3G bands hands-on! (video)

Well, what do we have here? Sure enough, it’s that coveted white Nexus S with AT&T-compatible 3G that we mentioned yesterday, and we just got our dirty little paws on it thanks to a friendly tipster. This particular handset was purchased from Negri Electronics, and it’s both unlocked and running Android 2.3.3 (Gingerbread), the version that just barely started rolling out to existing AWS Nexus S units in February. As you can see, it’s pretty much identical to the current model, except of course for that white tuxedo and 850 / 1900MHz-friendly 3G radio. Feast your eyes upon Google and Samsung’s latest prodigy in our gallery below, and hit the break for our hands-on video.

Nexus S with AT&T bands available in white for $600, headed to Fido and Rogers

It’s been a long time in coming, but it looks like Google and Samsung’s love child, the Nexus S — a favorite around these parts — is finally available with AT&T’s 850 and 1900 MHz 3G bands from online retailer Negri Electronics, for $600 in your choice of black or white. It’s not the first time we’ve seen the elusive Samsung GT-I9020A in the wild: it’s already appeared both in the hands of the FCC and on the Bluetooth SIG’s website. We’ve also seen pictures of a Nexus S with a white battery cover before. And here’s more: we already knew the AWS version of the Nexus S was coming to Canada via Mobilicity, but according to MobileSyrup, you’ll soon be able to pick up the Nexus S on Fido and Rogers for C$500 contract-free or C$100 with a three-year commitment, and these two carriers use the same 3G frequencies as AT&T in the US. So, until we hear something official from Samsung or Google, hit up our plethora of source links below.
