The Play Store always had just 16GB.
Indeed, GSM version is 16GB.
I like to think Verizon did some positive lobbying for once and did us all a favor, who knows.

That's assuming they have a heart, and aren't agents of Satan.
I suspect the latter.
The GSM model has always been 16GB. There was a rumored 32GB model that was never sold.
And why on God's green earth would you buy a Galaxy Nexus tonight, when it wouldn't even ship till Monday, the day that Google releases the next Nexus device? Why wouldn't you wait for that? rofl.
Also, a Nexus won't ever have an SDcard, so get over it. Just not going to happen. If more storage and an SDcard are that important to you, there are plenty of other great devices available that can offer that to you.

True. Possibly he was confused thinking he could buy a Verizon device from the Play Store in the first place. The 32GB Verizon GNex is certainly still available from numerous retailers, he can buy one there.

Oh the reason I posted this here is because I have an S3 and will so for probably 3 years. This is where I'll be. You do bring up a great point. Not a fan of LG at ALL.
But the specs to me are mind blowing at the price point. If they had LTE for $50 more there'd be no reason to buy any other phone.

I couldn't agree more. LTE is a must. Although here is Ontario LTE is only in the city, it is going to keep expanding and eventually be coast to coast. No clue why Google of all companies left that out. Its bad enough not having expandable memory.

Fair enough. Maybe $300 is a lot up front but over three years having that LTE will prove much more useful.
Nexus 10 is the more interesting Nexus device to me right now. Definitely wouldn't give up the GS3 for an LG device.
Nexus 4 is nice but it's a LG . They lost my business after the God awful LG thrill 3d.

Not sure when or if we will get LTE in my area. Before I moved to my new area I had it since it was released with Verizon. The performance you get for the price with the Nexus 4 is too good for me to pass up. If ever feel the need that I have to use LTE I will use one of my other devices with it if/when my area gets it.

I was comparing the 16gb gs3 and the 32gb gs3 on the tmobile website, and in the supported frequency section they are almost identical except that the 32 gb version lists that it also supports a 900mhz frequency in addition to all the other frequencies that they both support. Does anyone know what this is all about and how it will benefit or not benefit me. I tried calling tmobile and the person i was talking to me said that the 32gb option will not get 4g over seas because it has the 900mhz frequncy, but the 16gb will get 4g over seas because it does not have the 900mhz frequency. This answer does not make sense to me. She said because it has more memory it needs to have the 900mhz. That doesnt make sense right? Can someone please explain. Thanks so much.
Im betting its a typo. Other than storage, they should be identical.

I could be wrong, but I doubt it's a typo being that tmobile is aware of this situation. I just cant seem to find a representative that understands what this means.
Thats because the reps only know whats on their screen most of the time. They are often using the same info you are askin questions about. Thats what it seems like in my experience anyway.

I didn't think of it until later yesterday but I called Samsung and they told me that there is no difference between the two except that they are different gigabytes. I'm thinking it's a scam on T Mobile's part to try to get people to buy a 32 gigabyte model by listing an extra frequency that it's capable of , though that's not the case. Im assuming they figured that most will buy the lower gig model and add an sd card instead , I don't know.
Just as a side note, I went to a corporate T-Mobile store yesterday to buy another gs3 outright for my girl and the guy refused and said its policy and he cant sell without a contract. I was like wtf? I called headquarters and they said that they are totally allowed to sell outright. Either he didn't get the memo or he was just being a douche because I was getting service somewhere else lol. Well anyway, I went to another corporate store and it was no problem. So now we are both rocking the gs3s.......effff apple lmao. Now I have to figure out when im typing in fields like this one right now, when I move the cursor to fix a typo, the screen jumps around not letting me see where i want to type, does anyone else have this issue? Thanks guys.
After visiting the local T-mobile store here in Miami, I was told that a 32GB version of the S4 could be ordered over the phone. My question is, does anyone know if this presumed 32 Gb version (which I've been told is not available in stores) can be flashed with all the ROMs that the 16 GB version has available in this forum, or will the fact that the storage capacity is different change the partition sizes and therefore make such flashing imposible/hard due to a possible bricking? Will the phone version also be different or will it still be an SGH-M919 (just with more capacity)? I think you probably can flash ROMS for the SGH-M919, but what do you guys know or think of this? I'm considering buying an S4 and would like the extra storage but I also love to try new ROMS and flash new things. Comments are appreciated.

I could be mistaken, in fact I hope I am, but I think you got some false information. My buddy works at T-Mobile and I haven't heard anything about a 32GB S4 since the phone was announced. It was supposed to be 16, 32, and 64GB but they only released 16GB, and to make it worse there's only about 9 or less of that 16 available. It is still worth it, it's a great phone, especially since it has a microSD card slot, but it's frustrating having to find workarounds because of always running out of internal storage. I got used to it though, and it added another 50GB to my dropbox.
Tmobile has no 32 GB model. My roomate works there. Not to mention you can easily go online and find that information out yourself. it's not that difficult

That's exactly what I thought, but after now having gone into several stores,I've gotten the same thing....."The 32gb version is available but it has to be ordered and it will be mailed to you at home."

I just called 611, there is no 32gb model that they're aware of.
Of course this was only 1 call rep, but I believe the 1 call rep and the countless truck loads of information available online.
Rather than ask what you can do with the 32gb model, I would've called first as the stores suggested to you rather than ask about a mythical device that would piss everyone off who adopted early.

Believe it or not, I did call before posting this thread. I was told by a rep that they had it but that it must be out of stock because it did but show up on her system. I think some of these reps have no idea of what's going on! Hard to know when to believe them and I guess illusive me wanted to believe her and think they do have a 32 gb S4 Thanks for checking up on it, though.

Store rep says Jul 24th
I went to a T-Mobile store today, finally giving up on the 32Gb model. I jokingly commented, "And let me guess, the 32Gb model comes out tomorrow." The rep said that indeed it would. It would be available online through google or samsung, and that I could check in tomorrow and have him order it for me for pickup at the store. I guess we'll see, but I'm crossing my fingers.

I called him back again today, he said the phone was not yet available and didn't have any more information on when it would be available.

To this guy's credit, we were in the middle of filling out the form for me to purchase the 16G version, since I had given up on the 32G version and my current phone has been crapping out at a surprisingly bad rate. And he gave me his card to call back to see if the 32G version was in today or not. I think he was just trying to be more helpful rather than a purposefully misleading slimeball. He was just misinformed.

If it's a t999l it should work straight out the box. If not just unlock
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
It's just a guess, but if it's a T999L, it should be identical to T-Mobile's in every way, including its firmware. Anytime a carrier wants different firmware, they usually give it a different model number.
For example, Metro PCS has the T999N. It is a T999L, only the firmware is different, and doesn't have T-Mobile apps/bloat, but this got it its own model number.
Basically I'm saying it should work with T-Mobile's SIM with nothing done. But, like I said, I am guessing here. If you do need to unlock there are online services as little as $5 out there.

Those are both deal breakers for me. It's just another way the manufacturers can try to dictate how you use hardware you purchased. And to ensure you'll be back to spend more money when the battery dies or you run out of storage.
Anyway, those were both at the top of my list when deciding if I should ditch HTC for this S3.
Sorry for OT, just thought I'd throw that out there!

It is nice to have expandable storage and the option to change batteries. I had the option of the S3 or nexus 4, its obvious which phone I chose. The back of the nexus 4 being glass (fragile glass) was the deal breaker.
The S3 is nice and I've learned quite a few things since I've had it and its a tough phone, I've dropped it a few times and it doesn't have a single mark on it (guess I'm somewhat lucky).
Op if you decide to go with the S3, backup the imei before you start flashing ROMs. There's a few methods on how to do it, you should be able to find them easily.
