Hopefully this will address some of the issues with the Nexus S, particularly:

-No dual ATT/Tmobile HSPA support

-Lack of MicroSIM

How is the lack of MicroSIM an issue? As far as I know there's no functional difference apart from the size.
Wooops- meant MicroSD! =S
And as a bit of a smaller complaint, no notification LED. I still don't quite know what they were thinking when they decided to leave that off.
Which is somewhat mitigated by an AMOLED panel (if you can get it) and use of the NoLED app.
Not sure what I would do without NoLED, it is one of the best apps I've ever used on my SGS.

According to the article it's on LTE, so that means AT&T or Verizon. I can see why they're doing it as it looks like WiMax doesn't have a great future ahead of it, but I both those carriers have abysmal track records for customer abuse (as opposed to merely bad.)

4G networks will have to fall back on 3G networks sometimes, which is one of the reasons why AT&T is still building out its backhaul for its 3G network. Though I agree, it would be nice to have interoperable phones
