Hey guys, let me know if this isn't the right place for this, but it seems The GN has gotten the okay from the FCC to run on AT&T bands, 850 and 1900 I believe.
Do you guys think it will work for T-Mobile?
Id post a source but I cant, gonna have to ask you guys to google it haha
As with all other phones specifically for at&t only 2g will work for t-mobile as it needs 1700mhz for tmo3g.
Either way I saw this news earlier and still don't know what to make of it. I don't know if that means that at&t is interested or if it has something to do with Canada. It could even be just in case at&t becomes interested down the line who knows.

The unlocked GN is pentaband HSPA+, meaning 3G on AT&T and T-Mobile.
If there was a version for AT&T with 850/1900, it would only get 2G on T-Mobile.
This phone is probably the one that is gone be in Canada for 650.00 off contract. Does anybody know if this phone will have Tmobile 3G/4G bands?

No, the one going for sale in Canada was the one that passed the FCC 4 weeks ago, the i9250M. That is a Bell exclusive for 45 days. The i9250T, which just passed the FCC, is going to Rogers/Telus in Canada.
It makes no sense for them to release other models of this phone to att or T-Mobile because this supports them all. I am on T-Mobile USA and this phone gives me great speeds. Unless they make another one for att lte

Yea i see the crazy pricing, but if you really think about it, its not too far off from what the price will be here in the US when the GSM drops (assuming its 549-599$ + tax). For me its more about the hastle of having to deal with international shipments. I told myself i would never go that route to feed my addiction, but i really want this phone. Ive looked at Clove.co.uk, Expansys (or Expensive as i call it), Handtec. Im looking for the smoothest sale. I havent looked into Negri, but almost everyone i hear on these forums that has gone thru then had some issue, as well as going thru Handtec.
They aren't international. Negri is out of Vegas, and expansys USA is out of Illinois. They are the ones getting them internationally, you don't have to deal with that

Is the 1700MHz really gone or simply untested? Is it different hardware or are they simply inhibiting the 1700MHz with a different baseband firmware? And if so, can the 1700MHz be resurrected with a simple baseband swap? These carrier specific versions really are a PITA!

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

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 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.
Which carrier will you be getting it on? doesnt matter sub or outright
Verizon. Finally get some nexus love. Unsubsidized
I'm really hoping for an AT&T version. If there is no subsidized version, then I may buy the iPhone with my upgrade, sell it, and import a Nexus.

VZW with an early upgrade. About time they got a Nexus phone.
Verizon off contract, that's assuming that they ever decide to release the phone and don't pull another Thunderbolt. Although maybe they should have waited longer on the Thunderbolt. Hoping this isn't a bad sign for the GN.

Just curious, even if it still has a 3.5" screen and/or no lte?
It absolutely blows my mind every day that goes by and we dont hear anything about the hspa+ galaxy nexus being offered from tmo.
with the popularity of the nexus one and nexus s I find it soo hard to believe that the only way us tmo users can get one is to spend $700+ by shipping one overseas.
plus knowing that most reviewers recieved a galaxy nexus with a tmo simcard in it, the [email protected] review phones came with a tmo simcard. and tmo hasnt said one freaking word about it.
I have my money for it waiting but my patience is slipping away. bought a galaxy s 2 from tmo and loved it but got down to the last day of the 14 day return period and got spooked cause some speculation hit the news about the galaxy nexus hitting our shores. but that didnt happen so im fighting the urge to call one of the craigsL sellers and pick up another new galaxy s 2 for $380. just so disgested everytime i load up the tmonews site and nothing has been whispered about tmo dropped a rumered release date.
anyone else here feel this way?
was thinking the same thing, but i just ordered over the weekend.
i'm not going to wait for tmobile to carry it.
at least with the penta band, if att does indeed acquire tmobile, i'll be good to go.
I felt that way, then I just bought one. Verizon locked exclusivity for 60 days or so and it is only $50 more to buy it overseas than from T-Mobile outright. (If the phone is priced like Verizon's version)
The only downside is that nobody has screen protectors in my locality yet. The T-mobile reps sure loved seeing the phone though.

I'm just guessing here, but with an exclusivity, I would think the other carriers are not allowed to go bragging that they'll have it in XX days.
Or maybe they aren't going to carry it at all. I've been with TMO for a while, and I get the feeling that they just dont give a **** anymore

Shouldn't matter that much on T-Mobile anyway since you are given the option of not paying for a phone subsidy. So the only premium you end up paying is for importing it. If you're not on a value/even more plus plan, switch and just buy the phone.

Not really, even if T-Mobile is acquired by ATT, which it won't, ATT will keep the T-Mobile cell towers running, these towers are very expensive. I don't think current T-mobile users with 1700mhz ban phone will lose their HSPA over night in that scenario. Besides ATT have 3G and LTE plans, Nexus users can still use the 3G plan. I personally don't think its detrimental in the case you can't stream HD video of Justin Bebier at 20mbps with your Nexus, while 6mbps could get you by. Either way you are getting your chains yanked since you don't save any money opting for the slower 3G speed from their data plan.

Newegg ships from: New Jersey, California, or Tenn. (Unsure which one it is for the GN)

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!
I work at T-Mobile and we received our Titanium Gray demo model today. We also received two units to sell on October 24th. My manager also happens to be the regional sales manager, and has confirmed the release date of October 24th. While looking at the box on the back it has the following bands listed 2100, 1900, 1800, 1700, 900, and 850. I could be wrong but isn't the 2100 and the 1700mhz band used for LTE?
You only got two to sell?? with no presales or anythings its first come first serve for just two units? i hope that isn't customary for all tmobile stores?

Yeah it sucks. Supposedly we are getting some tomorrow but I doubt it. Especially considering that I will be buying one of them. I also called a few other stores and they all only have the titanium gray. So who knows whats going on as far as colors.
I stopped by a T-mobile on the way home from class tonight and they're still thinking it could be any time before Black Friday. It certainly seems like the T-Mobile launch will be very much a YMMV type of deal.
T-mo getting devices ready to sell on the 24th

I went to a t-mobile today to get the isis sim and they were playing with the demo. I played with it and it was very nice. They also said they are selling it on wed. However, they wouldn't tell me the price.
For those who have access to a US one now, is there an FM radio chip/app? EDIT: Also, does it have multi-view out of the box? I'll be upset if we have to wait for an update cause it's definitely going to take a while.
Can you see if they are Exynos processors? I looked on T-Mo support pages and they have it marked as Qualcomm quad core.
99% sure its an exynos I can get a screenie tomorrow. The one we have does not have multitasking

Thanks Knils. I suspected as much about the multi-view since the same thing happened with other countries, but their updates were much faster since their phones don't come loaded with carrier software. Can you check to see if there's FM radio tomorrow? EDIT: Also, is wifi calling present?
Will this be a midnight release sort of affair?
Yes I will check that out for you. Glad to help.

As far as I know no store in my are will be doing a midnight release. But let's just say I might be closing late tomorrow night.

Thanks for the quick reply! You wouldnt happen to be working in Georgia now would you?! haha, ill inquire at my local store. Now im hoping that they will be carrying the white model. I'd be pretty bummed since i kinda hyped myself up
Hey guys, do we have confirmation on the LTE radio there but not in use?
I'm in NYC, and I sure hope they have more than 2! lol.
Also, i'm a bit confused by the specs of the HSPA+. I keep reading about 21Mbps and haven't found any that state 42Mbps. Anyone know the details?
One of my local stores in Brandon, Fl only has 3 to sell.
If I remember correctly the back of the box does state it as being 42mbps. I knew I should have been taking photos of the note not with the note. I actually live in the northern Utah area and at least in my area alot of stores have a fairly limited stock.

That made up my mind. I won't be getting a Note 2. I don't want to wait 1-5 months for an update for features that should be already on the device. I guess the next Nexus may be my device.

My sisters wife works at a store in griffin and they had a demo unit. So she probably has them there.

Not sure how the midnight release rumor got out, but I don't think t-mobile or any carrier will open at midnight to sell 2 or 4 Notes to some goofy nerds.
