So far I've only been hearing about the 16GB unlocked version, or vague rumors about the 32GB Verizon LTE version.. but absolutely nothing on the 32GB unlocked one! Not even rumors or questions, I find that pretty strange. For a phone that takes videos in 1080p and is expected to hold 720p movies for playing, 13GB is very limited.. I need the 32GB Nexus NAO!!!
Theres no new info on the GSM 32gb model. People are still waiting (semi) patiently.
I was going to wait for that too until I decided that the risk of it never being released at all was too high.

There's no evidence that a 32GB GSM model even exists.

That would make no sense from Google/Samsung.. why alienate all non-verizon and international customers from 32GB goodness?
That and the official Google page lists the SGN as 32GB with no mention of 16GB http://www.google.com/nexus/#/tech-specs

That page also doesn't make any mention of a GSM model.
Thats the LTE version.
Google UK only lists a 16GB and Samsung Nordic stated they wont bring out a 32GB version in scandinavia.
Sounds to me they wont make a 32GB GSM version at all.

No.
It is my idea...in Italy LTE is expected in 2012, the same will be in other european countries. I think Google and Samsung are marketing the 16Gb GSM now and they will upgrade it with a 32Gb LTE model once LTE is available in our countries.
What do you think? Are you going to wait?
typical marketing strategy, sell out the low end stuff first, then push out a slightly better version as an "upgrade"
My theory is that Samsung has no intention to make a 32GB Galaxy Nexus of any kind. All they wanted to do is make a 16GB version. However, Verizon will not sell a 16GB Galaxy Nexus, because all their high-end LTE phones come with at least 32GB of memory (whether built-in or through a combination of build-in memory and microSD in-box). So if the Verizon Galaxy Nexus only has 16GB build-in memory and no microSD expansion, Verizon will be forced to sell it for cheaper than all their other high-end LTE phones, because otherwise customers might look at how it has half the memory of other phones at the same price point and not choose it. So in order for Verizon to sell the Galaxy Nexus at $299/$649 like their other high end LTE phones, they had to get a 32GB version. So Samsung made a 32GB CDMA/LTE version at Verizon's behest. But they have no reason to make a 32GB GSM version.
that's a sound theory, it makes sense from the marketing point of view
How much space are 1080p recorded videos alone going to take? Not counting all the HD content you would want to watch on that nice 720p screen, this is going to make for a seriously limited experience. This means for average sized high def movies (3-4 GB) you'd be able to carry around a whopping 2 to 3 movies!
And by the time an "upgraded" version comes in the form of a 32GB GSM Nexus, it will already be time for the SGS3. I just don't understand why Google would shoot themselves in the foot like that.
edit: nevermind, miss read
That's a deal breaker for me . I was really looking forward to this phone. But only 16GB? WTF? With music, videos, navigation maps, etc. that's not enough space for me.
I 've seen the 32GB version listed in a Greek website many days ago ( link ) , priced only 50 euros more than the 16gb one. If thats the case, no doubt i 'll be getting the 32gb one.
I was really wondering how they managed to get that device, since i haven't seen it listed, or priced, at other online stores. Anyway, i 'll call them and see what they have to say.
Edit: Mumbo Jumbo Gibberish. They told me to call them back in 10 days (thats when they say they will get the phone) if i wanted more info.

They also have it listed on Expansys, I'm not sure if that means they're expecting it or if some kind of marketing ploy..
It doesn't mean anything, except that Expansys want to secure preorders and have marketing hype. Clove have already confirmed there won't be a 32GB version but Clove have been wrong about things before...

Im looking for the best contract about £30 inc a free Galaxy Nexus 32GB preferred, only need about 300mins 300texts and at least 1gb internet.
I would prefer to stick with t-mobile, as I know they are reliable, sadly the only place I can find the device with these specs are three, and they seem to be a terrible company.
Any Good deals, Im looking to pick up a new phone+contract in the next 4 days.
I got mine through Voda for £26pm - free phone 300mins, unlim txt and 500mb (plus 20% discount on top!) Might be worth trying them!
I've read somewhere that samsung is now only producing 16 GB gsm nexuses. (Is that the plural?) So you jave to get one quick. I bought mine directly from my carrier because it was the cheapest option I could find to buy off contract.

All of the GSM are 16Gb.
Dammit! Does this mean that http://www.uswitch.com/ are just plain lieing to everyone, click show deal on most of the Galaxy Nexus deals and they show up as 32gb.

It might just be a typo, I wish there was a 32Gb one, I'd jack mine in without a second thought, lol.
My next phone will be a Galaxy Nexus...but I'd really like to get the 32GB GSM version rather than the 16GB version Google sells. I'm looking to jumping off my contract at Sprint and going prepaid only. Having that extra space will reduce the amount of data I have to use...so it would be helpful.
So as far as I can tell Verizon and Sprint arranged to nix the 32GB version (my theory) of the GSM GNex...so Google is only selling 16GB GSM Gnex's in the US (or will be selling once they change it to accommodate the injunction).
Google gave away 32GB GSM phones at Google I/O this year...so clearly they are being made. Saw one being sold on eBay a couple days ago.
I've found some references to them being sold overseas. Is that the only way to get a 32GB version for someone in the US...to import one? If so, then does anyone have a recommendation on who to import one from?
Also are there any issues with using an international gsm version in the US?
I appreciate any help you can provide with this.
They aren't currently in production, Google had them ordered from a while ago. Probably from the '11 holidays when they gave them to staff.
eBay would be the best bet in my opinion, but just know you will be paying a lot more for only 16GB extra, and because they are just so hard to find.
As far as I know a GSM phone is a GSM phone, you have the choice of AT&T or T-Mobile for towers and it should work just fine.
Hope this helps!
Crap...I figured it was just a US thing...with the typical Carrier antics that go on here. So it's not even available overseas? Sprint and Verizon are the only carriers that have 32GB versions? GSM gets screwed?
I don't mind paying a bit more to get the 32GB version...the google i/o one I saw on eBay went for just over $400 in the auction (yeah that kind of surprised me...expected at least $500 or $600). So I guess I just need to keep an eye out and hope I get lucky.
I'm holding out on the Note II because I keep reading that it comes in 16/32/64 gig models. So far i only see carriers offering the 16gb model. Does anyone know if the other two models even exist?
I gave up waiting ages ago and just got the 16GB version, glad I did though because in all that time there is still no sign of the 32 or 64. Forget about them tbh..

At least in the US its all about what the carriers will take and they will take the bare minimum and charge the absolute maximum they can. I don't expect we will see a 64GB version ever on a US carrier and the 32GB version if ever would be in say 6 months so they can pump up sales again before the GN3 arrives in the fall.
Carriers taking on a 64gb version isn't even the point.
It's Samsung finding out demand for a 64gb version while the 16gb is present.
The S3 has been out how long now, and I've only recently heard that a 64gb is on for pre order in the UK.
It's a shame that this happens. Because even if they make 10% of their N2 units as 64gb, they will sell like cakes, and if the demand is still strong, they can make more. But no, they chose not to.
They let customers lose interest by the time the 64gb comes out. Like who is still gonna buy an S3 now. Any right minded person would know to wait for the S4, especially at £600 for the 64gb S3.
So its just odd that they do this.
Just get a 16gb, with a 64gb extsd, and use a script to swap your extsd with your intsd. Job done, your phone is now 64gb.

The 32gb and 64gb models were available in Korea since late September. (Interesting enough, the 16gb hasn't been available there.) However, there was a news report saying that production of the 64gb was going to be discontinued in Korea. A member of a different forum told me that that was just a rumor. Being a Korean American, I asked my father, who is currently visiting relatives in Korea, to try to buy a 64gb for me. He was told that they weren't making the 64gb... just the 32gb was available.

That really isn't acceptable to me. I didn't want 80gb (16+64) of storage, but 128gb (64+64). As it is, I've pretty much given up on getting the 64gb, and I'm now determined to get the 32gb. Maybe 128gb micro-SD cards will come out next year, and maybe they will work with the Galaxy Note II, so I can have 160gb (32+128) of storage. Yes, I really want to have that much storage.
That sure is a lot of eggs in your basket of a phone.

I got mine pretty easily in Korea when it launched. They seemed abundant. I did hear the rumor that they were not going to produce any more, but I also heard that Samsung came out and said it wasn't true. I guess I'll try stopping by a carrier with a ruse that I'm interested in a 64GB and I'll see what they say.
I really understand your pain. I had an obsessive unquenchable thirst to hold a smartphone with 128GB of data ever since 2007 ever since I got hold of a 16GB iPhone and realized that even 64GB (even if it came out 4 years later) would not be enough for everything I wanted to carry, even at that time. It was a mental conquest that I had to check off. Now that I have it, I'm not using it any differently than a 16GB device. But that mental hangup is no longer there.
If it is any consolation, I've filled up 95% my 64GB external, but I've only used about 10GB of 52.75GB on the internal of my 64GB device. Basically, I've left all the advantage of having a 64GB empty for over a month now. And sure I would be running out of space real soon if I had a 16GB, but I've been really just been installing too much junk. Those apps that I've uninstalled probably left all their gigs of external data in there.

Not really, because whatever I will put on the phone (when I ever get it, sigh) will also be on my PC.
Where can I get a 64GB (Internal memory) Galaxy Note 2 International Edition (Black, Grey or Blue in that order) to buy? Thanks!
Korea version only now, while you can buy it through e-bay auctions ( about $1200) or korean i-net shops. And I have seen any one UK shop takes pre-orders w/o any price.

The 64gb was discontinued in Korea, around early November, I think. It's not likely that Samsung will ever release the 64gb international version.

I don't understand the logic of not releasing the higher capacity devices?
I mean its not like Samsung are going to be short of Ram chips lol
Im not saying they should follow the apple model, but usually they make a tidy premium on the higher capacity devices.
Edit... 64gb ebay phone was amateur fraud attempt ...

I am hearing that mobile phone service providers are not ordering the higher capacity devices because they want users to use cloud storage services in order to increase their mobile data revenue. It makes business sense because even though customers want higher capacity devices, the carriers are still selling out all their 16GB models.

Did they make a 32gb model of the gsm galaxy nexus in any part of the world?
As far as i know it has been cancelled and never produced but i saw ppl on the internet saying that they own one, and now i'm curious
To my knowledge there has never been a 32gb gnex GSM anywhere in the world. There are a lot of fraud listings on ebay for 32gb GSM ones but I can guarantee there are not 32gb. I try to store as much stuff to the cloud as possible. All my photos go to 4sync (15gb free), music in google music. All that is on my phone is roms and apps.

I spoke to a fellow xda member who owns a white gsm 32gb nexus. He told me he bought it from a vendor in India. I saw it in his sig and asked him.
I don't see why anyone would lie about it, so there's a few out there somewhere. Don't hold your breath trying to get your hands on one though
AFAIK there are only two versions of it 8 and 16 GB officially, I would doubt of any device that claims to be a 32 GB, in China you can find many things that are not original.... So be aware
