I know Verizon is getting the LTE version exclusively in the US, so I won't be able to get a subsidized version from T-Mobile until 2012 from the sounds of it. However my question is the Specs seem to suggest the GSM version will work on the T-Mobile network if I can just get my hands on an unlocked GSM version. There aren't going to be multiple GSM versions like the Nexus One right? Am I correct, or am I missing something. Should I hold out until 2012 or try to find an unlocked GSM version from the UK or Canada?

it will, also at atnt, its an umts (3g) and 2g
quick question for anyone that has either travelled from Canada to the US or someone from the US using a Canadian (at least, telus/bell) galaxy nexus GSM...
I have a galaxy nexus from telus...as we know here in Canada, 2g on telus and bell doesn't exist as they had CDMA networks...but the galaxy nexus itself is pentaband GSM and works on almost all carriers worldwide...
i'm going to the US in a little while and i was wondering if 2g will work on my phone if i pop in a t-mobile prepaid sim...
(what i'm going to do is buy a prepaid sim for a buck and activate the daily plans...)
I know it should work on their "4g" plan, which is really HSPA+...so the same as ours...so i'm just wondering if the plans/bands will work on t-mobile? or just 4g? or both 2g and 4g?
thanks!
When I got this phone, the person activating it said I needed a new SIM card because this phone is LTE but I'm a bit skeptical on that fact and think it might be GSM. Is there any way to tell?
The Rogers Galaxy Nexus is on HSPA+
Its GSM

Hi, are there any major differences between unlocked Galaxy Nexus and Sprint/Verizon Galaxy Nexus? Those with the carrier ale much cheaper, why is it so? It has a stock ROM so using it with any carrier shouldn't be a problem. Also, I would like to use the phone from the USA in central Europe, any GSM differences?
sprint and verizon versions are not GSM, they are CDMA and will not work on a GSM network.
Hi all,
I have a US GSM Galaxy Nexus (currently in use on T-Mobile with 4G working well). Does anyone know if this will work in Canada? I've googled and gotten very mixed results from my searches. It sounds like it may be fully compatible with Wind Mobile, but I'm not sure.
Thanks in advance!

Isn't the GSM Galaxy Nexus similar to what was available from the Play Store? I believe that version will work on Rogers, Fido, Wind and Mobilicity in Canada. Not sure about Bell and Telus though.
Hope that helps.

its a gsm nexus, so yes it will work.
you clearly didnt google anything.
I thought all Galaxy Nexus phones are suppose to come unlocked?
I bought/use mines from/on mobilicity, but its works on every GSM network so far that I have tested, eg. Wind/Fido/Bell/Rogers.
It'll work. Canadian carriers (GSM) use the same exact frequencies as US carriers. I know that Rogers, Fido, and (I think) Telus are equivalent to AT&T in terms of 3G ("4G") frequencies used (850/1900 MHz), while Wind and Mobilicity are equivalent to T-Mobile's frequencies (AWS, aka the combo of 1700/2100 MHz).
It doesn't really matter what carrier you go with with the Galaxy Nexus because it supports 850/900/1700/1900/2100 MHz for 3G (aka "4G"). It's pentaband; it's made to support all carriers in North America and most of the world.

Yes, I should have clarified. I expected it to work for calling and SMS but I was specifically curious about 3g/4g.

I already answered your question above.

I Use the Gnex here on QUEBEC WITH fIDO AND IT WORKS like a charm. By the way, I'm able to use the 3G with a descent speed, not sure about the 4G.
The only difference between the international gsm Galaxy nexus and the US gsm galaxy nexus is that the US version comes with Google Wallet pre-installed. Everything else is the same.

For the [hopefully] last time, yes, it will work. They're all pentaband unless you have a CDMA model (Sprint, Verizon).

^^ That is about as good as an answer can get. I have a T-Mobile GNex that is on T-Mobile when in the U.S., Rogers when I am in Canada, and I have also used it on Vodafone in the UK with no issues at all, including data. It will work with all Canadian carriers as mentioned in the quote for phone and data.
