Update: WalMart has admitted this was an error and released the following quote: “Due to a technical error, this item erroneously was displayed on our site. We’re working with our partner Let’s Talk to have it removed as quickly as possible. We have no plans to carry Nexus One in Walmart stores or online at Walmart.com at this time.”
From the screenshot above, you can see that WalMart Wireless now has a page saying the Google Nexus One will be available “soon”. As you probably know, Google is currently offering the phone through T-Mobile with Verizon Wireless on-board for offering it in 2010 also.
The interesting spec on the WalMart page is the data frequencies:
Technology GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900
Voice Frequencies 850/900/1800/1900
Data Technology 850/1900 MHz, 1xRTT + 1xEvDO, integrated Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g, Bluetooth® 2.0
Data Frequencies Tri Band UMTS/HSDPA (850/1900/2100 MHz)
Now, according to this, it will support At&t’s 3G bands (850/1900) and one of T-Mobile’s (2100). For Data Technology, it lists 1xRTT and 1xEvDO, which usually refers to the CDMA data network.
We’re not sure how reliable this page is, or if it was created just to draw attention to WalMart’s wireless offerings, but it could be a game changer depending on the price they’ll sell it for and which carriers it will work on.
