Hello I am using Nexus S at the moment, and now I'm looking for new phone!!
However, can't decide between Galaxy nexus and note,
any advice or suggest?
Thank you
If you have T-Mobile you're better off with the nexus as the note doesn't get T-Mobile 3G.. otherwise I would have a note

Oh... actually, I'm living in New Zealand, and use vodafone now -0-
The nexus is pentaband 3g which is more world compatible. Plus higher dpi

Sorry haha. Yes the nexus is pentaband so it is more likely to work as opposed to the note.

Okay so I got my galaxy nexus a couple days ago after looking at a lot of positive posts in the galaxy s2 forum. I love everything about the phone but the network is just effed. I got a strong signal on my sgs 2 almost everywhere which is not the case with this phone. I have tried three radios and different roms but nothing seems to fix it. All other connections work perfectly so I don't think something is wrong with the antenna. What do you guys suggest I should do?

I know what phone I'm switching this for,
Spoiler
The Next Nexus
Try flashing the various radios in the Dev section, the UGLA one's are made for CA I believe.
Switch to the white nexus, maybe your carrier is racist

Try switching it out for another Nexus, maybe you got a lemon?
Hey guys, I currently have a Galaxy Note but I'm looking to get the GSM Nexus. Do any of you know if the LTE Sim cards work for GSM Nexus? I can't seem to find any information on this.

I've always wondered about that as well....

Well apparently no one has attempted it.

One X micro sim works in my GSM Gnex, so I imagine the Note sim would work as well.
I came from an HTC Vivid LTE phone. I simply swapped the LTE sim from the Vivid into my Nexus and all has been well for over a month (had an international Nexus, but returned it and got the US Nexus).

I'm switching from the Vivid too. Is the Nexus any better than the Vivid?

The only thing I miss is LTE, but that is minor compared to all the great things about the Nexus - let alone the longer battery life.

Saw articles that Verizon is opening world gsm capabilities for the rezound, droid 4 and droid maxx.....why not the Gnex?
Because the Verizon version of the Galaxy Nexus doesn't have a GSM radio in it. You can't enable it if the radio isn't in there.
Vzw and sprint = CDMA
Everyone else (bar some parts of Asia) = GSM.
Well, the Rezound wasn't marketed as a World Phone, but with some tweaks you can use it overseas.

The Rezound shipped with a GSM radio.

Okay, newbie here. Will be buying my first smartphone and I've decided on the galaxy nexus. First, some important info: I'm from Canada. Bell has the phone on a three year contract with a $50 plan, which I don't want. So I'm looking at buying an unlocked version so there won't be contracts and I can use which ever carrier I want.
NegriElectronics seems to sell it unlocked. (aww.....can't post links.)
However, when I asked the guy, he said that it was the GSM version so will only work with gsm networks. But from my research online and a similar post on this forum, it seems that any and all galaxy nexus phones have quadband gsm and pentaband hspa so will work with all carriers?
So I'm currently confused as to which one is correct. I really want to make sure. Since I'm new to this, any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Both are correct. The GNex is a quadband GSM phone, and thus will operate in all GSM networks.
Canadian carriers already killed cdma, so you can use it on basically any carrier you want on Canada. Only if it's not lte SIM card or anything like that

Thank you very much to both for clarifying. So wait, what if I buy the galaxy nexus from either windmobile or mobilicity as they both allow you to buy it outright without contract? Will I still be able to use the phone with other carriers or will it be locked to the company I bought it from?

Guys, I want to buy a Verizon GN, then I have a question, and she is, what if the Verizon Galaxy Nexus comes unlocked to use LTE in other countries?
