[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.

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

The SGSII was going to be my next phone until i watched the Nexus press conference and it just blew me away so unless it's a ridiculous price, im getting the GN

I can't wait for it! It NEEDS to be announced officially for T-Mobile already. I really hope it's subsidized too!

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'm hoping that Tmo will get it otherwise I'll go to verizon...

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.

[INFO] Status of Galaxy Nexus U.S.

UPDATE: The Verge has a hands on with the Verizon Nexus. Should be out later this month.

UPDATE: Droid-Life has press shots of the VZW Nexus, eat your heart out.
Source: http://www.droid-life.com/2011/11/30/official-verizon-galaxy-nexus-press-shots-revealed/
UPDATE: Droid-Life has an interesting comparison chart which pegs the LTE Nexus coming in a 32GB flavor with "no OEM customization". Although it's nothing new, it does confirm a few things. Also, bear in mind carrier apps are NOT an OEM skin, so they might still be present.
Source: http://www.droid-life.com/2011/11/2...y-nexus-as-a-phone-with-no-oem-customization/
UPDATE: Droid-Life and other sites have gotten seen an ad for the LTE Nexus and it appears to have a $199.99 price tag. While some people assume that this is the price for the 16GB LTE Nexus, I feel that this is going to be the price of the 32GB version, as it lacks an SD card. As stated before, many LTE Nexus testers are denying that VZW is going to release a 16GB version, and this also coincides with what review sites are saying as well. Also, NegriElectronics have stated that they have heard from an inside VZW source that they will have a shipment to sell on Dec 9th. This means that VZW will have it at the latest by this date and maybe earlier, refuting the claim that it has a Dec 8th release date.

UPDATE: The LTE Model of the Nexus is now running 4.0.2 as reported by P3Droid (VERY reputable insider who actually has an LTE Nexus at this time). It is unclear on if it's just a bugfix or if it makes the phone faster. Leaning toward bugfixes considering it's a small jump.
UPDATE: The phone will be released in December, NOT 11/27 or 12/1 as reported by some. Also, the "Ghost Volume Bug" does NOT occur on the LTE Nexus so far, and does not occur on the GSM Nexus in the States either (900mHz bug as stated in the other threads).
Alright, I know many are wondering what is happening with this screwed up launch and why the Galaxy Nexus is taking so long to arrive here in the states, so I thought I would consolidate all the information in one thread.
First, I would like to address the LTE Nexus.
This phone IS CONFIRMED to arrive in a 32GB flavor and be exclusive to Verizon in the states. Now, considering that Verizon has no Galaxy S2 variant of their own, it is almost 100% likely that they made a deal with Google. The reason Google agreed to it was simply for the LTE hookup, because Verizon is the only carrier with "4G" and Sprint is dumping their WiMAX.
The official page @ http://www.google.com/nexus/#/tech-specs has seemed to confuse a bunch of people, as it now only says 16GB for all models, but this is probably incorrect. Firstly, it erroneously states "Varies" on Network, when it's a confirmed Verizon Exclusive, at least for the LTE/CDMA variant.
Now, for why it is delayed:
This seems to be a collaborative failure on both Google and Verizon's part. black_man_x (a very connected mobile phone insider) says:
Not placing the blame all on Verizon.. there are screw ups on both sides.
but it looks to be much more on Verizon's end than Google and Samsung's
If you can't code your ****ty carrier apps to work with a device or OS.. is that our issue or yours? #justsaying
to be honest everyone is tired of vzw bull****. device is no longer a nexus due to their dumb ass games.. Unlocked works great on att..
and my favorite:
I'm tired of these "technical issue" rumors about the nexus delay.. Should just bring back the google.Com/phone address back
to back up the storage, he actually tested the 32GB LTE model and says there is no 16GB option for VZW:
As for the storage question.. would vzw release a cheaper less mem model and still charge the same amount? Does that answer your question?
So, with that being said, don't hold your breath on Verizon. They're the first carrier to actually put branding all over the Nexus line, so much so that they REMOVED the "Google" logo entirely for their logo.
So, Verizon faithfuls and hopefuls, what's your take on this whole launch fiasco?

Waiting is annoying but its not like Verizon themselves came out and said it's coming out and specific date so it really hasn't been pushed back

True you can't push back what was never announced but that's just a Catch-22 and is complete BS to me.

I'm on Verizon right now with my Droid Charge. I really really want this phone, but verizon seems to be screwing everything up. As the days go on, it's making me want this phone less and less because I don't want to support Verizon for all their messed up policies and actions.

That sounds about how I expected the situation. VZW screwing things up and trying to take control, Google letting it happen because they have no other LTE option.

I mean, I would understand the need to test the phone, but come on! It's been announced since forever and I don't want the LTE version, just the GSM version. They should have done it like the Nexus S and released the CDMA 4G version later.

If the above is true... Gotta wonder if the 32gb version was part of a Vzn negotiated deal to encourage sales to buyers of unlocked devices. In any event 32gb unlocked devices should be available.
With the way Vzn has honked things up, I can only hope the clock is ticking on Vzn's exclusivity.

You should have an option for "want LTE but not on Verizon" - AT&T (crappy as they can be, I know) have what, 11 cities now with LTE and an "aggressive" rollout for it in 2012? I'd rather have an LTE GN on AT&T- were this a perfect world, but I am sure they would try to bloat it just the same... [no Verizon 3G or 4G officially here in the eastern panhandle of WV]

I sure hope it comes out soon before the verizon double data promotion expires. I really don't like Verizon but they have the best coverage and data speeds in my area, plus 4G LTE.

Im right there with you. T-mo has a lot of black holes in places i go in chicago lately, and my with my wife's corp. discount, verizon will be $1 more per month for basically the same plan. I'm ready to switch if they would just release it already.

I also forgot to mention that I would get a 19 percent discount with my employer, so that makes the basic 4 GB (double data plan) like 70 something dollars, which I pay for now like 84 unlimited data with sprint (although unusable data because sprint sucks right now). I'll probably opt for the 10 gig plan because I plan on using the hell out of the 4G when I get it.

As a VZW customer I hate all of this. I've never had to go through anything like this with other carriers but, admittedly; I've never waited on a phone before it launched. All my previous nexus phones were with T-mobile and, I bought them after release.
It's pretty frustrating but, there's nothing I can do about it. I don't actually need a new phone like some people. However, I do wish I had stayed with T-mobile, if I had; the Galaxy nexus would be on it's way from Handtec now. I also had great service with T-mobile in my city and, the HSPA+ was really fast.

Those of you switching to Verizon I simply cannot fathom a tiered data plan on LTE. That's just insane to me.

AT&T LTE is so far out from being widespread that the Nexus 4 will be out by then, along with the GS3 and HTC's "we-ran-out-of-names, with BEATS audio".
Don't get me wrong, I was dying for a GSM/LTE model, but it wouldn't be practical now.

Yeah no kidding. Ever since 2010 the service has just gotten worse. I mean Sprint is going to improve and by the end of 2013 they (in theory) will have the best LTE and 3G network, I just don't want to pay for the unusable service until then. Hopefully it will be unlimited still.
At this point I'm just tired paying 80+ bucks a month for a service I'm not getting.

lol "best" LTE and 3G is a joke. They won't ever be best because they don't have the funding to be the best. They need to stop thinking they can actually compete with Verizon and AT&T. They could have the best service in the world, but they don't have, and can't get, the numbers required to be the best.

Just have your work pay for your Verizon line like I do.

Is Anyone Else As Excited As I Am For Monday?

Bring it on! Super excited for my next mobile and a move back to WP.

im pretty pumped myself

Good for you that your getting your new device. Congrats!
For me, its an uninteresting week ahead.

I have gotten a new device two weeks ago, but since I live in Europe I don't think we are really affected with devices announced there. And since my Lumia 800 is only two weeks old it has to last at least two/three years until I get a new phone But I do hope for some software announces regarding Skype, Tango and some Nokia Apps...

It's too late for my time zone

Not excited at all because i know Apollo won't be announced. Probably not even Tango.
I'm not that interested in LTE wp devices because of battery issues and AT&T lack of coverage. They won't get LTE in my area until late 2013 and even then will still have a 2GB cap.

What happens on monday?

I just repair myself my HTC TyTn II.Plan to make a dual boot.My keypad isn't working should have check it earlier and order the parts altogether.

I'm excited because it marks my inevitable return to AT&T lol. Never thought I would go back, but the combination of T-Mobile's declining network service, customer support, and overall experience with their lack of high end devices other than the balls of Android they're attached to tagged with AT&Ts commitment to WinPhone and their announcements today leaves me no choice. I may regret it, but my shiny new 900 will soften the blow.

if the price of 249 on two year contract is true I will shake my head at nokia, at&t and microsoft
there is no good reason why the price is more than the gsII, the iphone 4s, or anything comparable on the market. Plain and simple
and it may not be penta band (no AWS support) so I'm grasping at the why of this myself. All I know is we will see pricing is important
It would be a wonderful surprise if it was a dual core device but that's not happening...

Sprint news?

Has there been any rumors/whispers/overheard a conversation in the bathroom news of any future WP7 phones that may be coming to sprint?

Sprint will launch a new Windows Phone about a month after Apollo RTM. You are looking at September period.
The device will feature Snapdragon MSM8960 and LTE.
Source: The Verge

Sprint's network currently sucks too bad to support any kind of phone.

Maybe it will change in the future.

This is a bummer. I'm on Sprint now with only the HTC Arrive and I do want to stay on it. Unfortunately I've been sold on the Nokia Lumia 900 so I'm gonna jump over to AT&T once that's out.
Kinda annoyed that both Sprint and Verizon both have exactly 1 Windows Phone. Seriously lame.

While Sprint may be releasing an LTE "Windows Phone 8" device in September, I'll believe it when I see it. Either way, they are so far behind in LTE that it would take a few years for it to be readily available around the country.
I've been with Sprint for about 4 years, and ditched them today for the Lumia 900 and AT&T (pre-ordered). Sprint has shown ZERO support for Windows Phone since it's launch. I remember being laughed at for trying to get the $50 pre-order gift card for my HTC Arrive when it launched last March.

I hate to admit it, but I've been thinking of leaving Sprint for the Lumia 900 too after their lack of support for the Arrive. I'm trying my hardest to hold out though, I don't want to feel buyer's remorse when I see the snazzy new Apollo-based handsets come out a few months later. I know I'll want one of those instead simply because it's new.
I also went to my local Sprint store and asked about that $50 pre-order and nobody had a clue what I was talking about. They eventually called the manager who told me there was no need to pre-order and to just show up on the Sunday release date because there wouldn't be any lines or sell-outs for a Windows Phone. I'm glad I followed his advice because I saved $100 by ordering from Wirefly and still got it within days after it was released.

I may be reaching a bit but I think Microsoft may be party to blame here, if you remember Windows Phone didnt have ANY CDMA support when it was initially released in November 2010, it wasnt until 6 months later when the Arrive came out that there was a CDMA windows phone anywhere maybe if there was CDMA and GSM support in the beginning Sprint and Verizon would have put in more effort

Meh. Sprint and Verizon chose to use, and keep using, a cellular technology that very little of the rest of the world uses (some in China, and I few other countries, but the majority is overwhelmingly GSM). NoDo wasn't *that* long in coming, and it's been more than a year since it shipped. At the rate that phones come out these days, that's plenty of time.

I have no problem with sprint releasing another EVDO WP.. So long as I continue paying $40/mnth

I totally agree. Pre-orderer the Nokia Lumia 900 and am saying bye to Sprint. Thanks for the low cost plans Sprint but you guys suck when it comes to having actual good phones.

I really love the Lumia 900 but I went to price plans with AT&T and it costs almost 40% more than what I have with sprint, not to mention the fact that data is capped. I'm definitely frustrated with Sprint's lack of focus with 4G and WP7 but 40% is 40%.

I will agree that Microsoft was partly to blame for the INITIAL sludge in to the CDMA market with Sprint and Verizon... however, it has been nearly 13 months now since the Trophy and Arrive were released on the two carriers. There is further opportunity for new devices, but both Verizon and Sprint have put their marketing focus behind iPhone (and some Android).

My problem with Sprint isn't the price, it is the speed and availability. I travel weekly, and have resorted to carrying a back-up phone (Samsung Focus unlocked on T-Mobile) due to limited service and speed on Sprint's network. Sprint is perfectly fine in major metropolitan areas, but smaller cities (like Fort Wayne, IN where I was last week) leaves a lot to be desired.
If and when Sprint decides to make the jump to LTE, they are going to be at least 12-18 months behind the competition in network expansion. I'm more than happy to pay a premium price for a premium service.

Sprint has always been good to me. It sucks they only have one wp7 phone but for some reason cherish the iPhone.

I have been with sprint for almost 10 years now. In the last 2 years I have seen them add a $10 fee per smart phone(on a family plan that is an extra $50 a month), they increased the cost of my additional lines, they have taken away the premiere program, while in a 4G city I can't get 4g, and their their 3g speeds gotten have extremely slow. I would like to stay with sprint because it is a big hardware investment to switch carriers but sprint hasn't made it very easy for me. Now they are lacking in the windows phone offereings. I have a couple of Zune HD users in my house and they really want a WP7 phone but are not pleased with the idea of the arrive. I think sprint was banking too much on the iphone giving them a jump start because of their unlimited data but it has panned out as well as they had hoped. I think this is why why they have ignored the WP7 platform.

Not surprising. I'm sure they want to play the "wait and see" game after the Palm Pre didn't do as well as they hoped and they want to go with something that has already proven successful on other carriers.

I would've stayed with sprint but their 3G speeds were getting far too unbearable here in Chicago and the suburbs, plus so many broken promises on when they would fix the towers,it just wasn't worth the $97 I was paying,now with T-mobile I get 10GB of full speed, 500 talk,unlimited text for $100 and my speeds are better than they ever were on sprint, even my throttled speeds are faster than sprint.

Is the LG phone gonna be better than the Nokia Lumia 900?

[Q] AT&T - Buffalo ?

Wondered if there are AT&T stores or authourized dealers in Buffalo that will be selling the Nokia Lumia 900 off contract on the first day it's available? I know most units are typically reserved for AT&T customers signing new agreement or upgrading.
If you are an AT&T store or authourized dealer and are selling them off contract, could you please post here or PM me if you can't post in forum?
I'm looking to buy Cyan colour.
Thanks in advance !

I'm in the same boat. Looking for the Cyan 900. But Rogers only has the boring black model. Would prefer it unbranded so I can use the tethering feature.. but also don't think paying $200-$300 more for an unlocked model is worth it.
eBay is our best bet.

Tethering is a feature in the Lumia 900 is it not? It's shipping with Tango (the OS not the app) or have mis-understood the features?

Correct it's a feature. But ATT locks tethering to them so unless you're using it on ATT this feature will never work for you. This is the problem I have using the ATT Titan on Telus.
If you unbranded it then this would unlock tethering to be used on any carrier. I did this with an old HD7.

Then I'll go with black from Rogers and get cyan spray paint ! I've lived with phones that are not fully functional. Rogers Samsung Focus on Fido for example. The SMS never worked right. Nice phone but SMS is a big part of communication, so it became an issue. Sold the phone and dumped Fido. All that said I'm using a Rogers Nokia Lumia 710 on Mobilicity right now. No issues at all.
If AT&T is locking the unit down on this feature... then it's a black unit from Rogers for me. Have to wait and see.

Calling all AT&T corporate stores or authourized dealers in Buffalo.....
Are you selling off contract? If you are, me and a few other Canadians will be right over. Please post and let us know or PM me if you are not allowed to post in forum.
Or anyone living in Buffalo buying one can let us know ?

So far the best I can find is on eBay for $575 shipping here for another $50. Def not worth it.
Patience is a virtue.

FYI, the ATT version is not shipping with Tango. I've got it, and I have 7.10.8112.7 installed from factory. Plugged into Zune, and still no Tango.

Ah... but I think these will likely get Tango first... only makes sense that AT&T flagship device would get priority.
Or.. then again... maybe not. Good to know what version it is. It does have tethering though, so is a version very close to Tango.

Ha I live in buffalo but I preordered my cyan online though

Actually, Tethering was in Mango. It just needed to be turned on by your provider to work.

Got to hate those carrier restrictions. I have the Lumia 710 but it does not have tethering yet. Apparently the update is "coming soon". Maybe different models have differnt update schedule ? Would seem to me though that the Lumia 900 would get lots of early attention from Nokia and AT&T.

No chance of me getting to Buffalo today. Even if I could, I know the border is probably busy with holiday traffic.
Some are already posting this phone on KIJIJI in Toronto area for over $600. To me that's crazy but I suppose some will pay it.
I will have to be patient and see what the Rogers version brings. Likely frequency bands will be the same, but one can only hope they do the same thing as they did with the Lumia 710 (penta band with AWS 1700/2100).
Thanks all for reading and keep the posts coming !
