The FCC clearance data (testing radio for emissions etc.) indicate that full functionality will only be available for the first model, on T-Mobile (In the U.S. anyway)
AT&T uses a different frequency for their 3G data, and while the Nexus One (as it currently exists) would work on AT&T, you would only be able to use the EDGE data network, and not the 3G network.
The phone will not work on Sprint or Verizon, as they both use CDMA, and the Nexus One (again, as currently in production, and the one that has passed the FCC testing) is GSM only.
That is not to say Google won’t make a CDMA version for Sprint and/or Verizon, it’s just that the first one that will be out, and the one already in the hands of Google employees, is GSM only.
