Nexus One On AT&T 3G Soon
Earlier today Engadget leaked a picture of a Nexus One (shown above) that has a FCC label stating it will be operating on the AT&T 3G band. This band is WCDMA I, II, and V meaning that for all the Canadians out there it will also work on Rogers, Bell, and Telus. The original FCC label ID number was 'NM899100' the new number is NM899110, with this number being only one digit off it will most likely be the same phone just with the updated 3G bands for AT&T, most of Europe, and Canada. Google announced this phone as a game changer to get rid of carrier restrictions and it seems like they are finally setting out to do just that, you go Google.

What about existing Nexus One phones? Is the hardware capable of 3G on AT&T with an update?

no
Hi, thanks for your question the existing Nexus One will only work on edge currently on AT&T if you want 3g you will have to wait for the AT&T model to be released.
Thanks, Joe
I wanted a nexus one so much that was ready to ditch AT&T for T-Mobile. I bought a T-Mobile prepaid phone and SIM to check coverage. I am in north Houston which their web page says has "excellent" coverage. The coverage (GSM only) was fine everywhere except for inside my house (marginal) and inside my office (no signal). I tested with both the cheap nokia they sold me and my unlocked razr (which has great signal in my office with AT&T). That sorta blew my plans to switch.. so now I am waiting very impatiently for Nexus for AT&T.
