Thanks for the clarification. AT&T operates UMTS on 850MHz and 1900MHz bands, while T-Mobile operates UMTS on the 1700MHz and 2100MHz bands. So, this device was deliberately designed to operate on T-Mobile's UMTS network and not on AT&T's. It should be able to operate on AT&T's network using 2G (GSM/EDGE), which will be good for T-Mobile subscribers who often roam on AT&T's network. From what I can see, the iPhone can roam on half of T-Mobile's 3G network (it supports 2100MHz UMTS).

I don't know how this fits in frequency plans elsewhere in the world, but it's interesting that they mention Vodafone in Europe, but not T-Mobile's parent company Deutche Telekom.

A little further reading indicates that Google will be bringing out a Verizon (CDMA & EV-DO) handset later in the year.

Well I didn't see any listings anywhere, but since it's an open, unlocked handset (part of the Open Handset Alliance – OHA), it can technically travel to any country that can support its antennas. The trick is just finding a carrier. Now if you want it subsidized by the carrier, that's something that will have to be worked out country by country.

I hear Vodafone will have it in Europe, so check to see which countries have support by Vodafone, maybe you'll luck out!

Well I don't know. I mean Nokia will certainly be pressured to live up to the game that Google is playing, but I think the analogy to Apple and Microsoft is a little off the mark.

First off, Google doesn't actually "produce" the handset themselves, they just designed it. In fact they even said that making a profit on the device is fairly insignificant to them in comparison to getting their web products in front of new customers. Plus, what they're really selling is Android, which they hope to get on every phone, including anything Nokia puts out that's smart enough to run it.

I'd say Google is coming at the handset makers in the most friendly way possible…not so much as a competitor as an option. It's really RIM, Palm, and Microsoft who have something to worry about. They're competing for mobile OS marketshare.

Hope I didn't trounce on your point too much, just thought I could add something to it.

Woah, Google has long given nightmares to microsoft and apple, and now mobile manufacturers like nokia have Google to worry about too.
