So far I've only been hearing about the 16GB unlocked version, or vague rumors about the 32GB Verizon LTE version.. but absolutely nothing on the 32GB unlocked one! Not even rumors or questions, I find that pretty strange. For a phone that takes videos in 1080p and is expected to hold 720p movies for playing, 13GB is very limited.. I need the 32GB Nexus NAO!!!
Theres no new info on the GSM 32gb model. People are still waiting (semi) patiently.
I was going to wait for that too until I decided that the risk of it never being released at all was too high.

There's no evidence that a 32GB GSM model even exists.

That would make no sense from Google/Samsung.. why alienate all non-verizon and international customers from 32GB goodness?
That and the official Google page lists the SGN as 32GB with no mention of 16GB http://www.google.com/nexus/#/tech-specs

That page also doesn't make any mention of a GSM model.
Thats the LTE version.
Google UK only lists a 16GB and Samsung Nordic stated they wont bring out a 32GB version in scandinavia.
Sounds to me they wont make a 32GB GSM version at all.

Damn.. missed that! I'm so depressed
No.
It is my idea...in Italy LTE is expected in 2012, the same will be in other european countries. I think Google and Samsung are marketing the 16Gb GSM now and they will upgrade it with a 32Gb LTE model once LTE is available in our countries.
What do you think? Are you going to wait?
typical marketing strategy, sell out the low end stuff first, then push out a slightly better version as an "upgrade"
My theory is that Samsung has no intention to make a 32GB Galaxy Nexus of any kind. All they wanted to do is make a 16GB version. However, Verizon will not sell a 16GB Galaxy Nexus, because all their high-end LTE phones come with at least 32GB of memory (whether built-in or through a combination of build-in memory and microSD in-box). So if the Verizon Galaxy Nexus only has 16GB build-in memory and no microSD expansion, Verizon will be forced to sell it for cheaper than all their other high-end LTE phones, because otherwise customers might look at how it has half the memory of other phones at the same price point and not choose it. So in order for Verizon to sell the Galaxy Nexus at $299/$649 like their other high end LTE phones, they had to get a 32GB version. So Samsung made a 32GB CDMA/LTE version at Verizon's behest. But they have no reason to make a 32GB GSM version.
that's a sound theory, it makes sense from the marketing point of view
How much space are 1080p recorded videos alone going to take? Not counting all the HD content you would want to watch on that nice 720p screen, this is going to make for a seriously limited experience. This means for average sized high def movies (3-4 GB) you'd be able to carry around a whopping 2 to 3 movies!
And by the time an "upgraded" version comes in the form of a 32GB GSM Nexus, it will already be time for the SGS3. I just don't understand why Google would shoot themselves in the foot like that.
edit: nevermind, miss read
That's a deal breaker for me . I was really looking forward to this phone. But only 16GB? WTF? With music, videos, navigation maps, etc. that's not enough space for me.
I 've seen the 32GB version listed in a Greek website many days ago ( link ) , priced only 50 euros more than the 16gb one. If thats the case, no doubt i 'll be getting the 32gb one.
I was really wondering how they managed to get that device, since i haven't seen it listed, or priced, at other online stores. Anyway, i 'll call them and see what they have to say.
Edit: Mumbo Jumbo Gibberish. They told me to call them back in 10 days (thats when they say they will get the phone) if i wanted more info.

They also have it listed on Expansys, I'm not sure if that means they're expecting it or if some kind of marketing ploy..
It doesn't mean anything, except that Expansys want to secure preorders and have marketing hype. Clove have already confirmed there won't be a 32GB version but Clove have been wrong about things before...
Im looking for the best contract about £30 inc a free Galaxy Nexus 32GB preferred, only need about 300mins 300texts and at least 1gb internet.
I would prefer to stick with t-mobile, as I know they are reliable, sadly the only place I can find the device with these specs are three, and they seem to be a terrible company.
Any Good deals, Im looking to pick up a new phone+contract in the next 4 days.
I got mine through Voda for £26pm - free phone 300mins, unlim txt and 500mb (plus 20% discount on top!) Might be worth trying them!
I've read somewhere that samsung is now only producing 16 GB gsm nexuses. (Is that the plural?) So you jave to get one quick. I bought mine directly from my carrier because it was the cheapest option I could find to buy off contract.

All of the GSM are 16Gb.
Dammit! Does this mean that http://www.uswitch.com/ are just plain lieing to everyone, click show deal on most of the Galaxy Nexus deals and they show up as 32gb.

It might just be a typo, I wish there was a 32Gb one, I'd jack mine in without a second thought, lol.
Do you think it was a good idea for Samsung to release a 32 model? From what I been seeing it not selling as good as the 16 gig one. Plus it's harder to find

I would have bought one of they were more readily available.

I would of also but I got a 32 gig card for 15.00 on eBay. The extra 100.00 was a little to steep for me

Absolutely a good idea. I got a 32gb from Sprint for only $50 more. $200 on Sprint for 16gb or 32gb for $250 is almost a no brainer. Sure I had to order it instead of getting the instant gratification of going right to the store and picking one up but I got it next day shipping so no biggie.
I guess depending on what carrier you're on maybe the price is greater or availability less? But for me it was totally worth it.
Plus when I go to sell it on eBay like I always do to get money for the next phone I will probably get a few more bucks.
Now is all that physical space needed? Lol well I also have a 32gb sdcard (got it at a really good deal on Amazon) and still have 26gb of space on my internal sdcard and a virtually empty external (minus titanium backup). When I quit being lazy I will load several gigs of music but until then I have 55.97gb of empty space.

Why would you bother to buy a 32gb model when you can just buy a 32gb microsd card for much cheaper?

I think it's more of mental thing rather than a actual need for it. Yes it's only 50.00 more but you can always go on eBay and grab a 32 gig card for lesa than 20.00 like I did or buy a 64 gig card for around 40.00. The 32 gig is really not necessary

Also since there is no app-to-sd on these phones, the 32 gig model was more attractive to me since I have lots of apps and contacts etc. I love my 32 gig s3.

Exactly. You can add a large sdcard to the phone (I have a 64GB) but it does not replace the need for internal memory. There are still apps that refuse to place data on the external sdcard and the fact that the internal memory is used for the internal sdcard and data partitions makes the 32GB version of the GS3 useful for some. I am no where near running out of space on the 16GB at the moment. It is SO much more than I had on the Evo 4G, but I have only had the phone for two months.
The point for me was to have the highest model available on Sprint.
That is the 32GB model, and of course I have a 64GB microSDXC card as well. OCD!

This was my plan when I bought the 32GB model. I'm a bit low on cash so I'm just using my 16GB card from my Epic but as soon as I can afford it I'm getting a 64GB class 10.
I had to order the 32GB and have it shipped into the store, but I'm glad I did. I now have the 32GB with a 64GB class 10 microSDXC. I also have a 32GB card FAT32 formatted (since recoveries don't play well with exFAT) that I got before the 64GB.
I bought mine from Bestbuy so I had no choice in the matter.
I got the 32GB model, so I had no worries about all the apps I wanted to dump on the device, and cant be moved to the external SD card.
It was only a difference of $50, and over 2 years, that is, what, $2 a month? 100% worth it, IMO.
In fact, I cant understand why anyone would opt for the 16GB model, as if you can drop $200, you should be able to drop $250.
Glad I went with the 32 gig. Up until 2 days ago, before I cleaned it out, I was down to like 700mb on my internal haha

Considering that micro sd cards are so fragile and unreliable (I went through two of them by using an apps2sd ROM--they each became corrupted within 6 months), internal storage is vastly preferable to sd card storage. So you made a good decision. Wish I'd gotten the 32gb!

I'm holding out on the Note II because I keep reading that it comes in 16/32/64 gig models. So far i only see carriers offering the 16gb model. Does anyone know if the other two models even exist?
I gave up waiting ages ago and just got the 16GB version, glad I did though because in all that time there is still no sign of the 32 or 64. Forget about them tbh..

At least in the US its all about what the carriers will take and they will take the bare minimum and charge the absolute maximum they can. I don't expect we will see a 64GB version ever on a US carrier and the 32GB version if ever would be in say 6 months so they can pump up sales again before the GN3 arrives in the fall.
Carriers taking on a 64gb version isn't even the point.
It's Samsung finding out demand for a 64gb version while the 16gb is present.
The S3 has been out how long now, and I've only recently heard that a 64gb is on for pre order in the UK.
It's a shame that this happens. Because even if they make 10% of their N2 units as 64gb, they will sell like cakes, and if the demand is still strong, they can make more. But no, they chose not to.
They let customers lose interest by the time the 64gb comes out. Like who is still gonna buy an S3 now. Any right minded person would know to wait for the S4, especially at £600 for the 64gb S3.
So its just odd that they do this.
Just get a 16gb, with a 64gb extsd, and use a script to swap your extsd with your intsd. Job done, your phone is now 64gb.

The 32gb and 64gb models were available in Korea since late September. (Interesting enough, the 16gb hasn't been available there.) However, there was a news report saying that production of the 64gb was going to be discontinued in Korea. A member of a different forum told me that that was just a rumor. Being a Korean American, I asked my father, who is currently visiting relatives in Korea, to try to buy a 64gb for me. He was told that they weren't making the 64gb... just the 32gb was available.

That really isn't acceptable to me. I didn't want 80gb (16+64) of storage, but 128gb (64+64). As it is, I've pretty much given up on getting the 64gb, and I'm now determined to get the 32gb. Maybe 128gb micro-SD cards will come out next year, and maybe they will work with the Galaxy Note II, so I can have 160gb (32+128) of storage. Yes, I really want to have that much storage.
That sure is a lot of eggs in your basket of a phone.

I got mine pretty easily in Korea when it launched. They seemed abundant. I did hear the rumor that they were not going to produce any more, but I also heard that Samsung came out and said it wasn't true. I guess I'll try stopping by a carrier with a ruse that I'm interested in a 64GB and I'll see what they say.
I really understand your pain. I had an obsessive unquenchable thirst to hold a smartphone with 128GB of data ever since 2007 ever since I got hold of a 16GB iPhone and realized that even 64GB (even if it came out 4 years later) would not be enough for everything I wanted to carry, even at that time. It was a mental conquest that I had to check off. Now that I have it, I'm not using it any differently than a 16GB device. But that mental hangup is no longer there.
If it is any consolation, I've filled up 95% my 64GB external, but I've only used about 10GB of 52.75GB on the internal of my 64GB device. Basically, I've left all the advantage of having a 64GB empty for over a month now. And sure I would be running out of space real soon if I had a 16GB, but I've been really just been installing too much junk. Those apps that I've uninstalled probably left all their gigs of external data in there.

16gb for avaiability reasons, firsts weeks on market was hard to find a 32gb avaiable.
I think there aren't important differences, I can't say if 1gb more of ram can be useful in real use, maybe only for benchmarks, now with 2gb I'm happy of my phone

16gig, because 32gb version not coming to Indonesia
16 cause of my carrier
MTN in South Africa gave me the 32GB version. I would've seriously returned it if it was 16GB, so I'm pretty chuffed.
32gb here because that is what Sprint sells.
Here is a real answer, 32gb
That extra gb of ram makes a world of difference. Apps do not force close all the time. Os will feel snapier. And the ram being the same size means the ram has a higher density meaning it will be faster.
Hope this helps you

32 Gig version. Mainly because of the extra RAM which makes it a little more future proof. The extra storage isn't really a big deal for me since I use a 32 gig SD card anyway... Which is more than enough.
I got 16gb. 2gb of ram should be more than enough for any phone. Think of laptops and tablets running full Windows 8 on 2gb ram without problems. I think it's up to manufacturers to optimize ram usage. My Nexus 4 always had 1.2gb of ram free.
16gb I got it free on contract
G3 16GB
16gb because it arrived first in my country. I bought it on the first day of release.
32gb version took around 1 month from the day of release.
32gb cause price difference was only 30chf
