    SGN Unlocked vs ATT version

    I did not see a thread for this so I thought I would ask. I am looking to get this phone for AT&T but I am not sure if it is worth waiting for an AT&T branded version. I am fine with HSPA data speeds for downloads so that is not an issue. I was just wondering if anyone had an opinion.

    Wi-fi Hot spot wireless tethering

    I just picked up a Nexus and have probably a dumb question. I have it hooked up to ATT right now. If I use the built in hot spot feature of the phone, is ATT going to know and will I be charged extra? I currently have an unlimited data plan on ATT so that is not a concern. I just want to...
