[Q] World travel? AT&T?

LTE is defiantly Verizon. Also appears to cost $299 (w/ 2 yr. contract) on Verizon.
http://www.slashgear.com/galaxy-nexus-found-on-verizon-map-for-november-10-at-299-14188245/
Rumors have it going to AT&T & T-Mobile as well.... but those are just rumors.

LTE is technically AT&T as well, at least in some markets, but yes, I've heard the same rumors. That's what I'm trying to pin down, as Verizon's coverage in my area is spotty.

Lack of AT&T saddens me. Verizon has no coverage where I live.

God damn it, i don't care about verizon and their ridiculous pricing and lack of sim cards. Is this thing coming to T-Mobile?

I know how you feel, I feel the same way
I don't care if the f*cker costs $1000, just bring it to AT&T!!!!
Good news is..... wait for it.....
This info. seems dated, as this phone passed the FCC approval listings for AT&T and T-mobile.
http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/08/...s-through-the-fcc-possibly-heading-to-atandt/
So until we get an official Samsung or Google word on the actual carriers, I would just sum up everything to speculation.

The FCC testing reports and official spec sheets that have been floating around show the proper bands for both ATT and TMO. So, you can just order it where ever...
For those that are new to this line of phones, the nexus series has always ended up on all of the major carriers. Just be patient. I'm just as excited as you all are.

Yeah, that's just outrageous. It's typical phone pricing before the phone is actually released. When the dist settles, nothing but good news will come from it. There will be no way that this phone will be over $600. I'm thinking that $529 will be the sweet spot.

This is pentaband phone. I don't know why you need a carrier to have the SGN. I would buy it out right use it whatever carrier your on. Don't need a carrier to subsidies it even though it will be as cheaper way to go.

Ok, I;m gonna go out on my NooB limb here and just ask...
So, lets just say the Galaxy Nexus goes Verizon only in the U.S. (I don't think this will be the case, but for $hits & giggles, lets just say that's what happens)... I would assume that this Verizon version would be the LTE version of the Nexus. Ok, so since Verizon uses CMDA, I couldn't purchase one at full price from Verizon and just stick my AT&T card in it an expect it to work, could I??
So the other option (in this imaginary Verizon/U.S. only world) would be to order a over seas GSM version, use my AT&T sim card??? If so, would I need a unlock code??
Sorry for the stupid questions... just trying to get all my ducks in a row, so I know what to do when the official carrier info. is released by Samsung. This stuff just isn't my forte; usually just stick to a carrier phone, but am willing to make an exception in this case. Thanks.

Not all LTE use the same frequencies just like the GSM issue with AT&T and TMobile in the US or even among some European countries where a 3g phone from one country will only have EDGE in another country even though both are GSM/UMTS. I haven't seen anything with the LTE frequencies being used, but you can easily Google to find the Verizon versus AT&T frequency problems as many have commented on it...prior to the release of this phone that is.
Now, it may be possible for Samsung to include many/all LTE frequencies in one radio. That sure would be good for the end user.

I don't care how much it would cost either, I just hope one of the models is ported to sprint

If you were to import a GSM hspa phone, no worries. All nexus phones are unlocked. You can use any GSM carrier. Previous nexus were either T-Mobile compatible or att compatible. But it seems the Galaxy Nexus is compatible with all GSM carrier.

Seriously. I am contemplating switching to Verizon, but I just don't think that it is a good idea to switch carriers just for a phone. Guess I will just have to enjoy my E3D until the SGN comes to Sprint - if it does.

I'm in the same boat. My Sprint contract ended on Thur, my Evo's USB has broken off, so I'm in need of a new phone. I can move to Verizon - or perhaps stay with Sprint and grab a Galaxy S2 (and wait for ICS port).
Recommendations?
Thanks and Gig'em.

So this sucks.... I hate you Verizon.

Later... How much later??? Maybe??? Jesus, might as well wait for the SGSIII if it's gonna be spring of next year or some ridiculous thing. Hopefully the Asus Transformer 2 comes out sooner, that way I can at least console myself.

Galaxy nexus prices?
So,what are the off contract prices for the galaxy nexus( in other country's)
in The Netherlands.
it will be released in December(late in my eyes) and for advice price of 649 euros!
really expensive in my eye's.
thats:
887,57 dollar.
564,76 British pound.
so im looking into a solution to import it for a cheaper price than the dutch version.
we use GSM here and that means the HSPA+ version if im right.
Pricing list:
The Netherlands- 649 Eur-887,57 USD-564,76 GBP
belsimpel.nl- 649 Eur-887,57 USD- 564,76 GBP [32GB]
MOBICITY- 605,50 Eur-810,18 USD-520,69 GBP [Pre-ORDER]
British retailer Clove-588,38 Eur-813,61 USD-514.80 GBP [16GB]
Italy-599 Eur-828,30 USD-524,10 GBP [16GB]
T-Mobile-469,34 Eur- 649 USD-410,65 GBP[unlocked 32GB][Source unknown,not 100% accurate]

I don't think very long. A month at most....just my two cents but I'm pretty sure Google WANTS the Nexus on EVERY CARRIER....
Great....I respond to the post directly above and then you edit....
It's a tablet dammit! Not a BIG phone....

In Italy the 16 GB version is going to be released in the second half on Novembre/start of December for 599€ (825$).
But I'm going to buy the 32GB unlocked T-Mobile Galaxy Nexus (that works with European networks) for about 649$ (only 470€).
**** italian prices :-D

I had been thinking of switching to Verizon for some LTE goodness, but then T-mobile had to go ahead and create a $30 no contract unlimited data/texting 100 minute plan (I never use minutes).
I can buy the phone at $600 and save more than the Verizon subsidy in under 8 months...
Gah...so torn...

[Q] T-Mobile Galaxy Nexus?

Is there any bew on a T-Mobile Galaxy Nexus? I know during the press conference they said that there wouls be an LTE and an HSPA+ version, so that would hint to a T-Mobile release but i was wondering if anything was official yet.
Sent by Thor's SGS4G from Valhalla using the xda app

I have no doubt that T mobile will get it, mainly because they were the only one to get the Nexus one and the first to get the Nexus S

I think besides Verizon, TMobile will get it because the GN can support the AWS spectrum out of the box! That will be a huge point in sales

I reallllllly want it to because... Well i think it's obvious

I went last night to tmobile store to check on the SGS2. I really not wow with the phone. I really want nexus I sold my sensation for it. Now I am using Samsung Gravity old school I can't wait till this phone comes out to tmobile

always the phones come to the US with similar price. It will not be more than 600$ without contract and almost 200 to 250$ with 2 yrs agreement. hopefully it comes to best buy as soon as it release.

I had the previous nexus devices on Tmo and I loved being on Tmo, when i got stationed up here in Montana i was so sad i would have to switch to VZW, but now i dont feel so bad

I'm 99% sure they will fire the fact in the presentation it had 42mbps support for HSPA+ and tmobile is the only US company for that plus it supports tmobiles bands and they always got the nexus first so I believe they will and hope so as well

It's a pentaband phone as several have mentioned on other threads so even if it's the HSPA+ version is not sold in the US, you'll be able to import it and it'll work on T-Mobile's network. Also the GSM version did get approved by the FCC about 1-2 weeks ago (LTE version has yet to come through) which is leading me to believe one of three things: 1 there will be no VZW exclusivity and they'll launch LTE and HSPA+ same day, 2 VZW will have limited exclusivity and be able to sell the LTE version in their stores while you have to order the HSPA+ from Google/Best Buy/or another retailer, or 3 there's an issue with the LTE version that they're still working out which is why it's still hush hush on a launch day. Either way, I will get a GSM version of this phone by the end of the year even if I have to import one from overseas.

maybe it's a misplaced attachment to tmo...but like you said to switch to VZW is not a bad thing

Rumor has it that it will release on November 10 on Verizon first. Verizon may get exclusivity for a few months and then other carriers would get it as well. But thats just my two cents

No contract this phone will be pushing almost 800 dollars. It has some very expensive hardware under the hood.

No way.... They have to be competitive

I doubt it'll push $800 of contract. You can't use the prices from non-US retailers to gauge what it'll cost in the US because their prices include VAT and our dollar has fallen weaker than their currency. Instead look at what similarly priced devices are going for off contract and you'll get a better idea of what it'll be. I highly doubt it'll cost more than $600-$650 for the 32GB LTE version (GSM should be cheaper since Verizon charges a premium on LTE right now) and the 16GB version will likely be around $550USD off contract. I wish they'd hurry up and announce some official release dates and pricing so all these speculative pricing/carrier threads would die.

The 16gb version will probably be $529. I dont think many have contemplated the fact that google might be subsidizing the nexus line of phones seeing as the previous ones were $529. Im hoping a 32 gb gsm version is released and doesnt clock in at more $600.
I voided my warranty and your mum.

Sim unlocked Galaxy Nexus on Virgin

Just a heads up for anyone who is thinking of getting one from Virgin Mobile. It is Sim Unlocked. I just got one and am using it on Wind Mobile.

Yup all nexus devices come unlocked

So is the Bell one!!

How much is it?

$649 + 13% tax.

It isn't supposed to bit my Galaxy Nexus from Bell came unlocked too. I'd assume they'd fix that issue in the second batch so beware

Ouch. That's rough.

Nobody is selling it without a contract. I don't know if this is legal or not but they just won't give it to you.
So I just went and picked up a sealed Virgin unit from craigslist... considering I'd have to pay tax and as I've heard one month of Virgin service (I'm on Fido) I think I came out even or ahead slightly maybe.

You and 100's of others really need to stop spreading mis-information. It's a Nexus development phone which I'm guessing doesn't mean anything to you.
Updates, patches, fixes don't come from bell they come directly from Google. This isn't like the galaxy s or s II running touchwiz and bell crapware. Its a nexus phone running vanilla android.
Take some time to educate yourself and read a little bit on the Nexus 1, Nexus S and the Galaxy Nexus and you'll start (I hope) to understand that they are not carrier specific phones.

Hey now, no need to insult the guy.
He isn't the one spreading misinformation, it's the jerkoff Bell employees who are outright spreading misinformation (which was likely handed down directly from their managers).
We all know Nexus phones are supposed to be unlocked, but when you go into a corporate Bell store, some guy in a Bell uniform unequivocally tells you otherwise then you begin to doubt yourself.

I don't know, maybe some CRTC rule they are only half-assedly standing by?
They know they are quite in demand, so they just won't give you one for $650. Mind you this is at Bell corporate, other smaller stores like The Source or Vision's Electronics might sell it to you for $650 for no contract, but not right now when demand would be so high, I would guess minimum 7-10 days from now. You can go to Virgin but I've heard they require one month of service to be activated, that and sales taxes can be a pretty penny on top of the $650 sticker price.
It's like this: Bell and Virgin has a vested interest in getting new contracts, so knowing the SGN is so hot they will come up with lies like "out of stock" or "come down and see us in person." Smaller stores like The Source don't really care if you sign up for a contract since it's not their netowkr, but I assume being a smaller store they can be easily persuaded by the carriers since they could just stop allowing that store to carry their latest phones.

I guess I was lucky one. In BestBuy they did not want to sell mu GN without contract. In the Futureshop same story. Then I call Bell and Virgin stores close to me and I got again same answer. I was so pist off so I decide to go to near BestBay and fight to death. I was ready to go to the manager if is needed.
So i walk into the store, ask for GN and then Bestbuy person ask me how I would like to pay? I sad I am paying in full, no contract. He did not say one word about contract or anything. I just pay for the Virgin GN and walk out. I could not believe my eyes. After all I was going thru miracle happend. wtf, soon I was out of the store I start walking little faster... LOL
I am now width Wind. Unlimited call, messages and data for $30. Bye bye Rogers 4ever. The phone is just amazing. Finally am am 100% happy. December 8 was my very happy day.
So I can confirm GN is working with all providers and it is coming unlocked.

The Source is owned by Bell, but surprisingly I've heard that a couple of people managed to buy the phones outright, no contract.
I was able to buy one from Future Shop outright, but another buddy of mine wasn't able to at a different Future Shop, so I guess it's hit and miss. I was turned down at Best Buy, but apparently others have managed to buy one there.
The small, privately owned dealers are probably the least likely to sell the units outright, they depend on the contract commissions more than they do hardware sales, and will rarely sell a popular new phone without a contract or extended warranty.
Just my 2c...

You guys got lucky, good for you!
Personally, after calling all the stores in my area I gave up and went to craigslist. I knew if I went down to the stores and made my case I could convince them, but then I thought they might not even have them in stock contract or not since it's a hot phone.
So I guess moral of the story is, either go down to the stores and demand what is your right (no contract for $650) or if you can't be bothered then go online to say craigslist or Kijiji. I paid $100 over retail but I didn't pay HST, so not a huge deal considering.
I just wish these guys weren't so sleazy, no reason this should even be any issue, we are paying full-price so nobody is doing anybody any favours.

Using a galaxy nexus happily on Wind Mobile. It seems to be getting faster data speeds than my previous nexus s as well.
I bought mine for $649 from The Source on a $20 1-month virgin mobile plan. They wouldn't sell it to me any other way. So I'll have to call Virgin to cancel in 30 days.

The Bell store wouldn't sell my a Nexus without putting it on my account. No contract extension required but I still needed to be an existing customer.

I was able to buy my GN outright from a bell store in Edmonton, only after I caused a scene and spoke to the manager. He basically begged me to wait for 4 days and offered me $50 in accessories to do so, but I wouldn't budge as my Atrix had a mic issue where no one could hear me.

I did the same, but I was told I can call and cancel after 14 days. They need 30 days notice to cancel though, so we may end up paying for more than 1 month.

NS launched on T-Mobile, so it was the first carrier to fully have the NS.
It is rumored that Verizon has exclusivity rights to Galaxy Nexus within the states. Its exclusivity time is unknown.
Galaxy Nexus is a pretty amazing device overall. Been using it the past few days.

how long did it take other carriers to carry it?

All you gotta do is buy a GSM Galaxy Nexus. It's pentaband so it should work fine on T-Mobile networks.
But youre gonna pay.....a LOT.

Expansys & Negri are pretty reputable.
I got mines from Negri for using the promotion code "vzsucks" (might of had expired by now) but you can try. Ships out of Las Vegas, NV.
Expansys I believe ships out from Chicago, IL.
Newegg ships from: New Jersey, California, or Tenn. (Unsure which one it is for the GN)

Got mine from negri, and I am with T-Mobile. Its great a little expensive but well worth it in my opinion. Honestly, I got some sort of a twisted satisfaction knowing that I had it before Verizon assholes got it.. haha. I was upset that it went to Verizon.

But matter fact, I still have the smiles knowing mines says "Google" instead of "Verizon 4G LTE" on it

Agreed. I went into a Verizon store the day after getting it like 2 weeks ago and pulled it out in front of them. They were amazed, I almost nut my pants.

Just curious , I'm so anxious to get this phone , would be nice to see a release date at least you know . The phone came out today at best buy and it kills me to see that it is exclusively for Verizon I was so sure that when this phone was going to come out that it would go to T-Mobile first

Nobody has any indication whatsoever that this phone is coming to T-Mobile officially. Honestly considering that the VZW version just came out yesterday, i wouldn't be holding my breath on a T-Mo announcement any time soon.

It wasn't going to last forever. Can't make a bunch of money without making a bunch of phones.

Honestly just buy the GSM version! I just did and can't wait for it to arrive!

With the Verizon device already down to $150 with a new two-year contract through Amazon Wireless, wonder if that will have any impact on whether a cheaper US version of the GSM Galaxy Nexus gets sold here. Maybe the only option will be to buy an imported GSM device. How soon before the import cost comes down to somewhere less than $600? When the quad core phones come out in the spring?

Amazon Wireless (and similar outlets) are selling brand new phones for around 1/2 their carrier price all the time. They're not discounting because of low demand, it actually makes sense for them to sell at that price. They get new contracts and extra ETFs out of it. It has nothing to do with the price of the GSM version or the version coming to the USA. Verizon has a set exclusivity time, and that contract between VZW and Google isn't going to change based on price.
I don't know how long it'll take for the import price to come down under $600, but it'll definitely be a little while. I bet you'll see it in the low $600's, but under $600 is damn cheap.

just get one imported.. or do like i did and get one in your city. i'm using it on t-mobile and everything works great! 4G/3G with better service than any other phone i've had. Yes!

iwireless.com selling the GSM Galaxy Nexus...$699

Called iwireless.com today...and they are indeed selling the GSM Galaxy Nexus. They'll even sell them to non-customers, though they told me they only have one left right now, but they're getting more Friday.
This is the FIRST time the GSM pentaband has been sold in the USA, correct? This is huge to me, because it comes with a USA warranty. The last thing I want is to import the phone, and then Samsung won't even service it.
So do you think the iwireless version is the exact same as the world phone? Like if I buy an imported phone, will Samsung even know the difference, or will they say "sorry, yours is grey market, it can't be serviced here." Possibly by the IMEI number?
Very intriguing. I'm of course hoping that T-mobile gets it for real soon. Still waiting to hear what the SGH-T999 is. Anyone buy one of these from iwireless?

699, lol? seriously?

Already threads on this. The price is ludicrous.

I work for this company and yes it's the same one.
I can't believe how much attention we have been getting. We are a small regional carrier and I understand we are the first here to get GSM version but I was surprised how many android sites had posted about our company selling the phone.
The phone is nice but it's getting old fast and I think it's overpriced. I will actually be sticking to my AOSP sensation...dual flash, 8mp camera, sd card slot, yum.

I bought mine back in January from Fry's Electronics in store. Not sure how the warrany works with them but I had a problem with the one I bought and took it back to the store where they swapped it out for another one (new in the box) after verifying that it was a manufacturing defect.

Just spoke to a level 2 phone agent at Samsung Wireless US. The phones iwireless are selling are actually imported as well so they technically do not have US warranty. Any repairs or defects you might have will be done through iwireless, I'm assuming they'd have to swap it out or mail back to country of origin.
So we still have zero US support on galaxy nexus. I'm still trying to get my earpiece speaker fixed and they don't even have the part for it.

Its a small local carrier to me so they will handle defective ones just like any US carrier. They'll swap it out for a refurb and exchange it with Samsung.

Not if they are importing the phone as posted above you. They would have to send the phone to another country for warranty repairs, unless they refurbish phones themselves. If you get a phone from them make sure you have a backup phone for the month it will be away getting repaired.

For the phone to go on sale in the US and for Samsung USA to offer support. Have you not been paying attention?
