Verizon GNEX...no 64 GB? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Has anyone else noticed that the Verizon GNEX did not come with the originally rumored 64GB of memory?

seriously?

It was always rumored at 32GB anywhere reputable.

What he said. Never even read about a 64GB.
Why would one need 64GB is beyond me. Options are always nice but ehh.

I'm fairly certain nobody noticed. Thanks for pointing it out; it must come as a complete shock to everyone here.

this is getting better, next rumor probably 128GB

Really good price but ships in 1-2 months, since it was just announced but class 10.

Engadget had a write up on it today also. Just put in my preorder. Have the Sandisk Class 2 32GB. I really don't have an issue with it but if it will make my phone just a little faster in any aspect, I am willing to fork over the dough.
Edit: Woot...my vendor has the card but not instock. The estimated delivery date is 1/10/2010. Cancelled order with Amazon.
Also, the $88.00 price tag from provantage below is really good. Very little over vendor cost. Probably not going to see it cheaper than that unless you are a vendor.

Placed my order for this today
I called my vendor and they are expecting them today or tomorrow but they have lied to me before. Will keep you updated.
You would like to think lexar would be the first to deliver, and since I ordered with them....
U need to replace my SD... 8 is full now so looking at this if not a 16.

never fails i get a 16gig class 10 and the 32gig drop lol
That is the way of things. The way of the force.
I got one of the Wintec 16gb Class 10 cards and after two replacements that were faulty (really slow), they made it up to me with a 32gb version that just came out. Really good so far, 14 mbps read, ~8 write. Thank goodness for perseverance.
I really hate my vendor. They pushed off the receive date to 1/24.
Wonder how this compares to the Patriot LX Series Class 10 32GB MicroSDHC performance wise.

You mean they just sent you a 32GB card as a replacement for your two failed 16GB cards?

Yup. Since I had one that failed, and they sent another that wasnt any better, they made it up to me with a 32gb. So I only ended up paying like 25 bucks. Nice.

VZW store

Anyone made a trip to a VZW store where they had the GN in the system (ie got some other info)
No. Verizon is ripoff and not gsm.
I voided my warranty and your mum.

Price is very relative...
Yeah it is. For a phone that isnt specced to the max it would be wise of google to not overprice this phone.

I wish, it's looking more like 600 for the 16gb and 650 for the 32. That's even if Verizon carries the 32gb version which I highly doubt. They're likely to carry only one version of the device. We would have seen 2 different devices on both of the MAP'd pricing sheets that have leaked over the past 2 weeks. Not sure if you guys seen it (probably have) but a new one just leaked yesterday and there's still only pricing for one device on it. Leads me to believe there will not be 2 versions available at launch. Kind of sucks because I would have loved to pick up the 32gb version even though I would probably never use all of that storage.
Genrally all their 4g devices that have shipped at 299 have had 32 gb storage. They'd be silly to downgrade that...I figure its part of how they try to justify the extra cash. Wo hopefully they are offering just the 32 if its to be one model...

maybe the 32 will be online only?
The phone will be 299 at Verizon for sure ..... due to the iPhone4S priced at 299 for the 32gb model they better sell the 32gb Nexus for 299 as well

Well, the 4s is not 4g so that might have an affect on it. I agree that they would be stupid to just offer the 16gb model but I won't put anything past Verizon. They tend to screw us over any way possible.
Verizon sells multiple versions of the iPhone and iPad, there's no legitimate reason to think they won't sell both.
XDA has so many people talking out of their asses these days that this place is starting to get hard to bear.

[Q] Any news/rumors/info on the sim-free Galaxy Nexus 32GB?

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.

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

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...

need help finding a Galaxy nexus for a reasonable price

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.

[Q] Where is the mythical 64gb model?

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.

Not really, because whatever I will put on the phone (when I ever get it, sigh) will also be on my PC.
