Okay I need an aswer to this by tomorrow... I figured id ask here while I look on google.
Will best buy be offering the UK or a GNex version wiithout the LTE radio in it for people say on T-Mobile orf those who don't want the LTE radio in it?
I'm asking because my parents are either going to get the SGS2 (which is inferior with T-Mobiles version) or the GNex and I'm the one deciding which. Obviously I want the GNex, but not sure I do if it comes with the LTE radio in it..
Thanks in advance for the nice responses!

There is no GSM version officially released in the US. You have to import and buy full price.

Probably not until either AT&T or T-Mobile starts selling them. Has BB (or ANY major B&M retailer) ever sold "non-carrier branded" devices? I don't think so. They make money on the contracts. If they could avoid hardware completely they'd do it in a second.
Well I'm just thinking maybe when Tmobile starts selling them they might see fit to sell the GSM edition as they don't seem to have LTE in the near future.. do you guys think maybe that's a possibility?

right now best buy only sells the Verizon LTE version.
if the device ever launches in the USA in a GSM version, you'll be sure they'll carry that as well like they did with the Nexus S.

First of all, wtf at your grammar and using the wrong words. Do you even look back at your words after you type them out?
Secondly, nobody knows for sure if America will get any version other than the LTE model. It's all assumption until an announcement is made.

Whoa, calm down. Its from the XDA App, so it was an Autocorrect from 'retarded'.
Now, I am just debating if I am willing to spend $50.00 more to get the phone 30 days earlier. I just wish there was some OFFICIAL talk if the GSM version is going to be available stateside.
Verizon has it exclusive for 60 days from launch according to someone I spoke with from Samsung.
After talking with someone from AT&T, you'll probably see it there in February or March.

my hook-up thread doesn't seem as bad anymore does it. I knew the big 3 would probably be as***** about it and so that's why i wanted a tmobile version instead.
You can probably buy it off someone who's trying to make a quick profit. $500 is a reasonable offer for a $100 on-contract phone.
Just try a different Telus store maybe?

Just wondering.. how come you're waiting for Best Buy to have it? A GSM carrier such as T-Mobile and AT&T needs to offer it. And from rumors, AT&T wants to remove the pentaband off GSM Galaxy Nexus (not sure why). You'll also have to pay tax.
Buying it from Expansys or Negri will give you one-year warranty. Also, you won't have to pay taxes.
@joshnichols189: That is true about the FCC. Just wish we had the full information on Verizon's exclusivity and what it really meant in full terms.
Exclusivity really hurts the customer in the long-run.
Just figured since T-Mobile had been the first network in the U.S. to get things rolling for Android that they wouldn't have such a big problem convincing Google to provide the Galaxy Nexus to their network. Not to mention, it wouldn't take much effort since the phone supports pentaband (4G on their network already). But T-Mobile may want the Snapdragon processor so the phone is 100% compatible with 41Mbps (theoretically) to market the phone.
It's funny because the people working at Google were giving away the GSM variant of the Galaxy Nexus rather than the CDMA one for Christmas.
Because my mother (the one who will technically purchase the phone) doesn't want to buy one from overseas.
So being able to go to best buy and get it would be preferred, and when I say the GSM version I do mean international (UK) because I don't need the LTE radio and it also causes problems
Sent while thinking about my Galaxy Nexus
Edit: still @ same price to ship one from UK as was upon release?

You're not buying one from overseas (well.. they come from overseas but when you buy they dont ship from overseas at time of purchase). When you purchase off Amazon, Newegg, Negri Electronics, Expansys or whatever the phones are already in their warehouses ready to be shipped as long as payment is done.
Even some Frys stores are selling the phone in stores.
There are only two variants of the phone: toro (CDMA/LTE) and maguro (GSM). The maguro variant is a pentaband phone meaning it supports 4G on BOTH AT&T and T-Mobile (HSPA+ 21Mbps theoretical speeds).
And no prices are not the same. They've been dropping because a White version of Galaxy Nexus is coming along with 32GB GSM versions.
Right I would need the Maguro..
So what's the cheapest for 16GB Black at the moment?

Not really. All Nexus One phones were sold directly from Google.
Yes, T-Mobile offered a plan to users who wish to sign up with a two-year contract. This was very limited as it was only for customers who were on individual plans.
Nexus One was never marketed or advertised in T-Mobile corporate stores or their website.

Dude, I'm from Lancashire...
If you are talking T-Mobile USA... I say yes, its the unlocked GSM galaxy nexus. Negri supposedly has it for 575 shipped after coupon for the 16gb version. That's not much more than I paid for my grey market daily steals gsm galaxy nexus. After inflation its not much more than the 520 dollar nexus s I bought day one. True, its not subsidized, but if you plan on keeping the phone for any length of time you potentially pay less staying off contract. More up front, but less on the back end. Plus you get access to almost everything in the app store. I still can't get wallet working with my nexus s but this one works out of the box. Plus square trade is less than T-Mobile warranty or geek squad (us GSM nexus s only available at best buy). Save up a little or pay it on credit and pay over time, but in the 500s this is a great phone for T-Mobile given the features. Unsubsidized 32gb model on Verizon is 645 new so...

No it doesn't.
T-Mobile UK is an independently operated wholly-owned subsidiary of Everything Everywhere. Everything Everywhere is partially owned by Deutsche Telekom.
T-Mobile US is an independently operated wholly-owned subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom.
But really the ownership matters less than the fact that all of the T-Mobile networks run quite independently of each other. So to get back to it, it does matter for people to specify 'which' TMO they're referring to. Of course, this one should have been pretty clear based upon OP's information.

I for the most part just dislike the company policies. The service is fine, just a little pricey. Customer service has always left me wanting better, and I personally find the handling of the Galaxy Nexus to be quite the fiasco.

Just to say...
Verizon and sprint updated their galaxy nexus to 4.1 via OTA months after jellybean came out.
But the key here is that they still kept their promise and we had jelly bean before any other phone on their roster.
Even the hottest phone of the year Galaxy s3 didn't get jellybean till this week.(Verizon still waiting)
Verizon held up their end. You were the first to get jelly bean and unless the nexus 4 comes to Verizon, you will be the first on Verizon to have 4.2
The new Droid DNA comes with 4.1.2 so you're fine.

I'm sorry, I can't hear you over my LTE and no dropped calls. What's that? You have HSPA+? Im sorry your breaking up...must be all that high latency.

From negri, ebay, or just t-mobile store?

Online via the T-Mobile store (corp portal link)
Walked into the T-mobile store day after launch and picked one up. Using it unlocked on AT&T.

T-Mobile online
I waited for weeks for Negri because I didn't know they were that shaddy. Costs more from T-Mobile but at least I have the peace of mind. 5% cashback also helped.
Brought mine from someone. $560. I unlocked it, now I'm rocking it on AT&T LTE network.

Oy! For the love of God, stay away from Negri. I'm sure the thread is still here somewhere. Just search.
I got my from Swappa (After I cancelled my Negri order). Got a decent deal, saved about $100 over the cost of getting it from T-Mobile. Take your time to find a reputable seller. Look for sellers that aren't just buying and selling used phones (i.e. look for an original owner).
Craigslist $530 :thumbup:

Thank you! I want to buy tmobile note 3 and use it under my att plan on ATT network. Is craigslist or eBay reliable source? I try to avoid that the imei becomes in effective after I use it for one or two month......Thanks for your advice!

SWAPPA is what I would recommend. Can't trust the IMEI problems froms Craigslist or Ebay phones.
Got mine from swappa as well, paid $680, brand new in box.
It's not always a horror story with craigslist, there are a few decent people on there lol. But yea I agree other places are definetly more trustworthy and safe to buy from, just don't expect to get as good a deal from them since your not taking a chance.
I met with craigslist seller @Tmobile so to be sure it was paid off and not blacklisted, just gotta be smart and do things the right way or you will get screwed over on that site

Just wondering for those who have a tmobile note 3 on atnt, what are the advantages of this? Just curious since I am currently choosing between tmobile and atnt.

They want the unlocked bootloader of the T-Mobile Note 3 (GSM) for easy rooting and ROM'ing, but want to use it on ATTs more expensive (GSM) network. Has the ATT Note3's bootloader been hacked yet? I don't even know.

Bought mine last month on Swappa for $690 w/o any shipping or taxes. Arrived a day later via USPS priority mail from NJ (to NY). No insurance; a 1-year samsung warranty is good enough for me.
GET TO THE SWAPPA! </SchartzeneggerVoice>

Number 1 advantage is signal and real lte and more coverage I pretty much get 4G almost everywhere , T-mobile has too many dead spots. Even betting I'm using a straight att sim and getting 18- 20+ mbps download

Got it from T-M store.
BTW NUMBER 1 advantage of T-M here is normal coverage comparing to ATT garbage (even regular signal coverage is extremely weak)! Even with the microcell booster.
