I was a little disheartened to read that UK will not be receiving the 32GB version http://blog.clove.co.uk/2011/10/19/...16gb-available-to-pre-order-at-clove-429-vat/
Wasn't sure if I was going to spring for it, but would still have liked the option. What does the UK contingent in here think of this?
BANE
Slightly irritated if that's true. The 32GB model would be my choice especially since again they will decline to let us use sd cards.
To be honest I'd love to know googles official response on this one.

At first I was a bit annoyed but I've still got 7gb free on my Nexus S and doubt if I will need 32gb anyway. It would have been nice to have the option though (assuming the statement from Clove is acccurate). If I used my phone as my main music player, 16gb just wouldn't be enough. Yes we have cloud services, but these are useless unless you have an unlimited data plan and decent network coverage.

Yes, an official google response would be good here. At the moment I have a nexus 1. I have a 16gb micro sd and the 512 internal. I'm not even nearly full. I too don't use my phone for music and don't really store much video, however I'm thinking in circumstances where I may WANT to take 1080P video, 32 GB may be a better option.
If there isn't a 32GB uk version I guess we'll have to look for European orders?
BANE
Haven't read the details yet but certainly would have liked to have the option to do the cost vs MB choice.
Saying that I'm still very interested to know when and how much for the base 16 MB version.

Clove is quoting £515 sim free for the 16gb version.
Isn't this quite common with Samsung devices for the UK not to get the larger capacity versions? Happened with the original GS & now again with the GS2.
I would expect enough uk demand would change Samsung's or googles mind if its true naturally!

Interesting. I really have no need for the 32GB version either, but unless it's significantly more, I was planning on going that route as well simply because of 1080p video recording and the way that apps are getting larger and larger. I don't plan on really doing a lot with those kinds of things, but it's nice to have the option.
On my SGS, my internal SD is 1.85GB with 1.37GB available and the SD Card formats to 12.78GB with 3.47GB currently free. It's mostly full of stuff I really, really don't need on there like a couple dozen different CM7 Nightlies, Nandroids and several flashable zips of various Froyo Roms/random stuff. I could easily free it up to 7GB's without touching my music and pics, I just haven't cleaned it out in a long while.
But why no option for the UK? Where is the logic when normally higher capacity models are priced well in excess of the additional cost of the memory? Any other countries being so treated?
Not that I have come across as of yet. I guess as we move into November we'll have more information.
Samsung! Bring the 32GB Galaxy Nexus to the UK!!!
sadly i use a 16gb card to the max in my Desire .....
was really looking forward to the Nexus release but to be honest if im permanently going to be limited to 16gb then it counts me out
Will be looking at other 'coming soon' phones as im up for renewal in December or fall back on a GS2 .....
Don't bother me, though I have complained about the lack of a memory card slot, I never really keep a lot on my phone and tend to offload larger items such as videos in fairly quick order.
I was on the fence on this device, and this kind of decides for me. I'll wait until the first batch of HTC or Motorola Ice Cream Sandwich devices.
Sigh.
I will lie to myself and pretend I didn't want the screen anyway.
This has really blown me away, I can't see the resoning behind this. What a kick in the teeth, 16GB is not nearly enough. The lack of sd-card is a big pet hate of mine but to hear that only the 16GB will be available, that's the end of me getting this phone.
I'll be so upset if a 32gb version doesnt come out! I use my phone alot for music.
My current music folder takes up 10gb. On a 16gb device i'd only have about 2-3gb free left to use.

They're only accepting preorders for the 16GB version though and under the product Q&A it says: "No dates yet on this handset. Please see 16GB version for now."
So not exactly promising
16GB is a deal breaker for me too, it just isn't enough for me without an sdcard slot.
Well the time has come for me to switch phones. It's been a good run with the Nitro. It's not the best Android phone I've used but its certainly the best screen I've used.
Thanks to all the people who have worked on Nitro development, especially RC. Also thanks to those early adopters of my ROM!

I've been wanting to upgrade to either the S3 or the Nexus 4, but I'm having such a hard time deciding. The pros and cons of each phone makes it a hard decision. N4 doesn't have SD card expansion or LTE capability, but the S3's screen is mildly inferior (by the technical specs anyway) and the non-international version is only a dual core; not much different than our P930... The sad part is that after 3 hours of research I am still at a dead-even split between the two!
I'm going with Nexus 4 first of all because of the price. ($350, are you kidding me?) Secondly, I know I'll be able to hold down my storage usage if I offload my device backups, sync music to Play Music, use YouTube as the primary video source, and keep my podcast cache down (very tough lol, never enough time to listen to everything). I'm also getting a tablet which is what I'll be using primarily for video content. It's going to be tough, but I'll manage. I might just have to start using my various cloud storage options as well. With T-mobile, I'll be able to have unlimited data, so I shouldn't have any issues where I can't stream content.

I have a 32GB card right now that almost entirely consists of music and ROMS; both backups and the original zip. I only have maybe 5-10 pictures and no videos, but I use Ubuntu One for them anyway. I only have about 2GB free and I just don't see how I'd do it having 10GB LESS (SD card only registers 27.8GB available.) Eh, my brain hurts, I'm gonna go take an Aleve and rest before my head explodes.
I had a 32GB microSD card in my Nitro as well but I have since moved all of my music to Amazon Cloud (paid for the matching thing like iTunes Match). I then download a small subset of my music to the device to listen to without using data but can also listen to my entire library if I want to.

I haven't thought about doing that... I believe instead of making this hard decision I'm just gonna forget about it and stick with the current bread and butter until a decisively better choice becomes apparent.
Well for anybody in Canada and potentially T-Mobile in the US, there's some good news about the Nexus 4. It supports LTE on band 4 (1700/2100) with no hardware modifications. As I was planning on switching to T-Mobile anyway, I couldn't be more excited about this news
I have a 32gb too. Where I live, I can't consider cloud services too much because cellular data speeds are not really stable and my wifis are shared.

Have fun with your iPhone 5 / Nexus 4!
Hope you enjoy your new phone. I enjoyed the nitro HD but switched out about 3 months ago when I switched companies. I now have have the S3 on simple mobile. I cannot count on the n4 as the storage options do not satisfy my needs. Well k hope you enjoy your new device!

As you guys know (or if you don't, you will now) that many manufacturers are releasing phones in which do not have an external SD card and are banging us over by providing really low storage option inside of phones. What got me thinking is that there is a 64GB SD card on sale for 40 bucks at certain retailers and i wanted to buy one and then i came out with the thought that, almost every new phones coming out doesn't have a slot for the SD card. Sure the s3 does but i wont have the s3 forever. What would you guys do?
I know some say, turn to cloud but lets be realistic (at least here in the states). For starters, t mobile doesn't have the best coverage meaning internet is not available everywhere which means if you go visit grandma's farm, you are bored to death and forced to play with cows or ride horses (although riding horses should make you put your phone down lol). Lets say you have glorious verizon with its "great" LTE network and coverage. Well then you are stuck at 2GB or what ever plan you have. point is that you are stuck, so once over the threshold, you are going to get rocked with a fee.
Taking a more personal look, my SD card consists mostly of music (7GB, 800 songs and counting..I like my songs high quality ala 320kbps mp3/aac or 1000kbps Flac), I have 2 nandroids (1 for stock TW JB and the other for AOSP...you know these can make dents on the SD card, apps that require large amounts of data on the SD card.) so right off the bat, i dont need a 64 gb but i know in the future (give or take 2 years, ill HAVe to go that high.)
What are your thoughts? should i just get it anyway? what do you think can be done to get the attention of manufacturers about this issue? any other thoughts?
I'm pretty sure that Samsung has no plans to get rid of the sd card slot.

Being a professional photographer on the side... I will give you this advic - nothing less than a class 10 card, and nothing else besides sandisk or PNY
I've heard enough about how finicky the 64Gb cards can be that I decided to go for 32Gb. 32Gb is only $20. If $20 is still more than you want to spend, 16Gb is like, $10 or less. For $10, does it really matter if you're going to use it forever ? I mean, the phone likely cost many times that and has a limited lifespan of its own.
Just get whatever you're comfortable paying for.
I just bought a SanDisk 32G sd card, but it won't mount. When I try, it said blank sdcard or unsupported files. I tried formatting it but I get the same message. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am confused why the biggest concern for people when buying these things is simply cost. Sure you can pick up a 32 GB card for 10 bucks... But when it crashes on you a year from now, and the cheap ones typically do, don't come posting a thread here asking why it doesn't mount or why all of your stuff is mysteriously missing from your card. QUALITY people... Not quantity. Its like putting $30 tires on your Ferrari and wondering why it doesn't handle the way it is supposed to. I have had my PNY class 10 card for almost 2 years now with no issues, and yes it was a little more expensive but it is way more reliable than these cheap ass Kingston and no name class 2 or 4 cards that people throw into these things.
Both of the sandisks I have owned have crashed on me. A 16 and 8 GB. Never again will I cheap out on SD cards. Its not worth losing 2 years or a year's worth of data.
I've been buying 32s and compatible 64s every chance I get.
SD slots will be with us for the long haul.

i'm sure more devices will come out without SDCard and removable batteries...
i was actually quite surprised the Galaxy S3 got both good deals, since the Galaxy Nexus had no removable storage..and then HTC came along with their brilliant plan of the One Series...

I totally disagree! I don't think Nexus phones set the standard. I do understand that Google would like to gently nudge us all into using the cloud, but I will go kicking and screaming all the way. I hope they come to their senses and support choice like they should.
Get it.
I think you should get it. You might need it down the road. And even if you don't need it right away, it's still be handy to have. I have a 16GB card now, but I'll get a 32 or higher later on.
And you're right, these lack of SD slots are crazy.
Got the 64GB for Christmas.

I think the bigger question is whether we should start training ourselves to use the cloud rather than relying on our sd cards. But I still say the answer is no. Samsung is a big enough player that they can dictate design rather than be dictated to. I don't think they'll abandon these removable parts anytime soon. Maybe in 5 years, Samsung will have their own cloud offering and will force us to use it in lieu of local storage. MAYBE.

I think we really lack the infrastructure to go cloud-only for things like music and movies. The cell towers aren't everywhere - many people can't stream everything even if they want to. People still want to watch movies or listen to music on an airplane without having to pay (or compete for bandwidth if the air carrier is nice enough to let people have at it for free).
I think there are many valid situations when the cloud is simply not an option.
I would buy it. I got a SanDisk 64th class 10 for$39.99 at best buy online a while ago. I am on completely stock with root only and using the apps2external mod by zedomax . Now I have 60gb internal storage and my regular internal storage is now my external storage . Quite convenient...

It sounds like an issue with your phone. Do you have the problem with other cards as well? The mechanism to eject its part of the phone hardware and really not related to the card. My card ejects fine. I just have to push it in and it will then be ejected...

Maybe its just me but the only things I want now in a phone are a huge battery (ala razr maxxx), expandable memory (16GB with no sd slot is a joke in 2012 with so much hd video and mp3s being twice the size they used to be), and some up to date google software. I dont need a quad core phone or more than 2GB of ram or 1080p resolution on anything smaller than a tablet. My galaxy nexus is still plenty powerful enough to do what I need it to now if only it could last all day and let me throw on 20GB of music.
I would love to see a version of the S4 or something that has no touch wiz and gets updates right from google.

SD card slot isn't gonna happen, because Google wants you to use their online content services rather than fill an SD card with your own stuff. That's why they're selling the N4 for so cheap (in some countries...).

they said it is because it can be confusing to the every day user....where are pictures being saved? where are documents going? and i guess i can see that. i just wish they would let us choose to be "confused" or not.
but FWIW, i am completely content with my 32GB gnex...and would actually be ok with 16gb version as well as i have about 21GB free space. as long as i have unlimited data, i am OK with 16GB on a phone. its a little different on a tablt though, as i like watching videos on them more than i do the phone.
as for the big battery, its coming. just wait. although current phones are starting to be pretty good on battery. the Gnex is pretty bad, but even the S3 almost doubles our battery life.
I've been under the impression a large part of it is the costs of paying MS licensing fees for SD tech.
I've got unlimited data so with the exception if the few times I have no signal, the cloud works just fine for me.

Sure, there are also issues with data being split between internal and external storage, but if you think the Play Store is not a factor at all you are delusional. Why do you think Google only offers the N4 with the rather pathetic storage options of 8 and 16 GB? They should have gone with at least 16/32, but they didn't, and I'm very certain that wasn't just a matter of cost.
Honestly my biggest issue isnt that I dont have storage, but my carrier is giving me less data to use. Something has to give one way or another. Either we need to store things on our phone (movies music tv) or we can stream it. We cant have none the storage and none the data from the carriers the equation simply doesnt work. Personally I would rather stream all my content except most content streaming source's quality isnt good enough. If I want to listen to music from grooveshark I dont want some half assed mp3 rip; I want flac.
Naturally battery life is going to suck, although ive been able to make it bearable with the battery upgrade, a decent rom ( i run Xenon) and franco/lean kernel. Sadly this only makes it bearable though and thats spending how much time and effort right out of the box to make it that? total BS.

+1 SD card
I would just like an SD card so that when I'm flashing ROMs and totally bork my Nexus up, I can recover from the external SD card. The other day during a flash something went wrong and erased my backup images and backup ROM zips. I couldn't connect via ADB to push ROMs or use ODIN recovery. An SD card would've allowed me to recover in a few minutes vs a few hours. This especially makes sense, since a lot of developers use the Nexus devices. It would allow them to recover more easily or boot test ROMs from an external SD card.

Developers and users who know how their device was meant to be recovered dont use Odin. They use fastboot.
People have to realize, for all that the device is, it is a Google device first than it is a Sammy device.
One more thing, if you couldn't use adb while in recovery, you didn't do it right. 100% sure.
To recover a Nexus, there's no need, AT ALL, for a external sdcard.

Not trying to be rude but can someone who keeps that much music on their phone try to show me their point of view?

SD cards... old technology man. Get up to date. Is cloud storage now. And huge data with prepaid how this phone is to be used since it is unlocked. The best carrier with the best deal. Use the cloud top steam your stuff. Only thing that needs to be fixed is Google drive to stream movies. At that, if you root and install flash you can use desktop site and stream your movies.
I would love to have an SD card. The cloud sucks. When u don't have fast internet in the area ur in, when trying to access pictures or videos from the cloud. Forget about it. SD cards are way better then the cloud imo. I can't store all my games data in the cloud. I have like 10 games I bought but I can't install them because they are about 2gbs a piece. Plus I still have some music, HD movies and photos. So if Google isn't going to give us an SD card. Which I know they won't. At least give us an option for a 64gb, 32gb version of the gsm galaxy nexus. I can live with 32 or 64gbs of internal memory. Then I won't need an SD card slot.

I am so tired of this BS...OEM not releasing a 32gb phone..Galaxy S 3 32gb was a miracle...Gonna probably order another 32gb i747M in case this one dies in the future...WILL WE EVER SEE A 32gb PHONE with SD card AGAIN from Samsung? Even the Note 2 didn't get a 32gb version.
Cloud?

I have a 32Gb S3 + 16Gb external SD and, honestly, I don't need that much memory on my device anymore.
Music? All uploaded to Google Play Music
Important photos/videos? Dropbox and/or Google Drive
Other files? Google Drive
It's only really usefull for TiBU backups and Nandroids but that's about it.

Cloud is by far not an ideal solution, especially if you're on a tiered data plan and not around wifi at all times. Besides, nothing beats instant access to files that are stored on the device itself.

Good luck listening to music on the metro :good:
I kinda get the complaining about the phones only having 16g or 32, but with an SD at 64g now honestly I dont see an issue, Im one that does NOT use the cloud , but 16g on the phone for the apps themselves and 64g for my music and such is fine. Im sure the 128g SD will not be too far off. Its just the way it is now and you will have to adapt, you can complain all you want but ALL phones are taking this path so you will either deal with it or well whine about it and deal with it. Just be glad Samsung so far has kept the SD...imagine them saying hey they want a 64g phone, but lets take the SD out like everyone else. That would suck even more. With the cloud taking over as the future they do not see the need for 64g phones with SD slots. The majority will never use that so its not worth it for only the diehards. I do think they need to change it so we can use the SD for apps like it was before without hacking and trickery. This would solve alot of issues.
The cloud? Now why would I want to put all my stuff on someone else's computer? Its useful for work but nothings more practical then being able to access my stuff without data and wifi

That is the reason I rejoiced when I saw HTC financial report. It seems that consumers spoke clearly, and chose Samsung over HTC, even though HTC phones look better and have nicer screens. Samsung and Sony seem the only ones that still understand that consumers may want a microSD card. So maybe not all hope is lost.
the issue is if you dont root you cannot put many programs such as gps maps on the external card. you need to root to do it.. Such as sygic navigon etc. and can quickly fill up the internal sd .

16gb internal+64gb sd = no worries about storage.
Now, if there wasn't a sd port then I would complain.

Hmmmmm...that's highly subjective. Personally, I'll take a SAMOLED over LCD any day.
Guy I am talking about a 32gb phone. I cannot use a 12gb (16gb phone)...By the time you install some apps and heavy games, you are left with maybe 5gb...I need space to shoot HD movies and photos...16gb is not enough...

Depends on the codec used to encode the images.
Could be a lot more than that.
