I just ordered the cardock from Amazon. UK and was wondering if anyone has tested the CDMA Nexus with the cardoxk from the UK.

It probably won't work as the UK only sells the GSM version and you have Verizon's version. It could fit though

So I was at Coex Mall in Seoul a few hours ago and walked through the Samsung display area. It's an open area--maybe 10m by 3--used as a permanent installation to display Samsung's newest products. They had about 9 LTE Galaxy Notes, a few Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTEs, and a smattering of Galaxy II HD LTEs.
I realize a few hours later that the only Nexus there was the one in my pocket.
My guess is because the LTE Note has gotten such dismal press:
http://asia.cnet.com/blogs/lte-samsung-galaxy-note-isnt-welcome-in-korea-62212571.htm
Koreans love their styli and big screen PMPs, but even handwriting recognition and a large, beautiful screen to watch their DMB isn't enough to outweigh the expensive LTE plans and the gimped Snapdragon legs it runs on. It's sold horribly as a result. KT (another carrier) has even gone to the lengths of offering unlimited 3g data plans during a limited promotion to boost sales.
So I guess it makes sense that the Nexus has been benched from this promotional spot. It's gotten good press, and is selling like hotcakes (I can't find a damned case for this phone ANYWHERE. They're being bought faster than they can put them out). I suppose that the Nexus doesn't quite fit in with the rest of the Galaxy family. It's like the normal quiet kid genius in a family of flashy, loud mouthed celebrities.
I suppose this is more of a Galaxy Note issue than a Galaxy Nexus issue, but I thought it would be an interesting thing to share with a community that has given so much to me.
Nice to hear from someone else here in Korea ^^
Here in Daegu, it's been a little different. The Nexus, like you said, can't be found anywhere. The Samsung stores here said they won't be getting anymore in this year. As for the Note, its sold out here too, but they do have a steady stream of them coming in.
I can't find a case or anything either. I'm using a GS II HD screen protector and found a Dell Streak pouch on Gmarket for now.

I'm interested in buying the Nexus here in Korea but I can only find the non-LTE version. Does anyone know if there are plans to sell the LTE version in Korea?

Doubt it. The only LTE version that has been made is for Verizon US.
I saw the Nexus LTE version in the GALAXY shop (near the Megabox cinema) in Coex mall about 2 weeks ago. They only had three units and the crowds were ignoring them for the Note.

Not saying you're wrong, but as far as I know there is no LTE version except the Verizon variant. The GNexus is available for KT or SKT and both have WCDMA and GSM antennas.

I was in Japan a few weeks ago and the SGS2 HD LTE is definately getting a lot of attention. However NTT Docomo have Android/SGN posters plastered all over Tokyo.

Sorry, my mistake. I meant to say CDMA (not LTE).
I live overseas and have a Galaxy Nexus international. I know this because on the back of my box there are about 40 two letter country abbreviations listed.
I just purchased a 2nd Nexus that is the "US" GSM unlocked version but the box is sealed and want to give it to a friend. The box is slightly different btw. I want to know if it has the same hardware as the international version and therefore will work the same on a European network.
Second question. My international version has a british power adaptor. Anyone know where I can buy the little adaptor for the european plugs?
Most of them are the same device BUT sometimes they are diffrnt in Radio Frequency.

All Nexus since the Nexus One have been factory unlocked even if sold by a carrier. The only thing you have to worry about is if it is GSM or the CDMA and LTE version.

No, all i9250 GSM models have the same frequencies.
Hi,
I was wondering what is the best version of the galaxy nexus to buy in terms of flexibility/rootability. I am using a T mobile USA sim card and i plan to buy data plan in the future. Also, where is the cheapest place I can get that version?
Thanks

GSM you have one choice, i9250. I suggest buying from the Play Store (good price, full warranty) unless you get a super good deal on a used one.
I'm in the same boat. I want to go from a CDMA variant to the GSM variant and was curious about this too. Is there a real difference between the international gsm version (i9250) and the U.S. Google play store version? For example radio frequencies or software for that matter. Getting it for $300 brand new sealed in box. Thanks.

They are the same hardware & you can flash whichever radio suits your needs.

They're the exact same hardware (pentaband GSM radio). The Play Store one comes with takju firmware, which you want, but any device can be changed to any firmware. The radio can also be changed if you want.
I thought the International version didn't have nfc?

There's only one GSM version, as far as I know, so you might as well get it from the cheapest source (google play, $350 + stuffs).
Don't forget to switch to the $30 100m/5gb t-mobile prepaid. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646755
All gsm have the same hardware, its just the firmwares that are different. The int. comes with yakju or other similar variants while the play store version is takju. Takju is basically yakju + goggle wallet. And if you are in the us, the play store is the way to go. Its a great price and has warranty.

You can easily change (flash) the radio that is best for your location.

My GNex came from the USA where I live, but had the XXLF1 radio and worked fine. Just yesterday I flashed the UGLC1 radio that is best for the USA and T-Mobile. Will test it through the week to see how it does.
The Nexus that can be bought from the Play Store (play.google.com is an unlocked GSM world phone.
You should be able to purchase it and use it on any French GSM carrier.

Should be added that the Play Store only ships to US addresses. OP is best off with an importer.
Hello,
So, this is pretty much the question.
A friend of mine has an European GSM Galaxy nexus.
He is going to Australia for a year. Will his Nexus work there with an australian SIM card? Will 3g and GPS work with no issues?
Thanks for the help.
Cheers!
Yes

The nexus is a pentaband phone - 2G and 3G will work worldwide.
Like - worldwide.
There are only a few pentaband phones in production in the world...not sure why.
