While there is incessant buzz that the Google Nexus Phone is coming on T-Mobile’s mobile network in the UK, the search engine giant seems poised to pick out AT&T for the launch of the 3G version of the device in the US, it has been emerged.

Google is apparently drawing away from its initial marketing strategy of selling the device direct-to-customers, presumably after the inaugural edition of its smartphone failed to work with the AT&T’s 3G networks.

In a bid to deal with this, the search company had reportedly filed an application with the US Federal Communications Commission for launching a 3G iteration of the device compatible with AT&T’s networks.

Incidentally, recent reports are suggesting that the Commission has already given a nod for such a version of the Google’s highly-talked about Nexus One.

AT&T officials said that the company’s WiFi service has made a record 85.5 million connections to the Internet in 2009 by its customers, using the company’s Wi-fi network.

The Nations largest and most advanced mobile broadband experience that is on offer by AT&T is expected to have further upsurge as more and more customer would utilize the Wi-fi on integrated devices because of its simplicity, reliability and for its convenience.

According to a press release by AT&T, it is being reported that its customers made a record 35.3 million which is up to 10 million connections from the third quarter of 2009. Already the fourth quarter connections excelled the total number of connections made in the first half of 2009.

Angie Wiskocil, senior vice president, AT&T Wi-Fi Services said, “Last year was a landmark year for AT&T Wi-Fi, and it shows in the tremendous response and usage we’ve seen from our customers and the leading venues we work with.”

He added further, “The record growth has been driven by our commitment to provide reliable connectivity solutions, the choice and simplicity of convenient locations, an unmatched portfolio of Wi-Fi enabled devices and plans, and strong venue support. We look forward to accelerating that growth even further in 2010 and beyond.”
