Galaxy nexus verison vs galaxy nexus - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hi guys
I am going to buy galaxy nexus but I want 32 gb but locked to verizon
What I want to know is there any hardware or software diffrent between the two like the galaxy s 2 and galaxy s2 T-mobile
Is there any way to unlock it? Cuz I want to use it with another carrier
Thanks in advance

No major hardware differences and it cannot be unlocked to a different carrier. Honestly the verizon version will probably never be able to be unlocked to a different carrier unless they get it working on Cricket or Metro.

[Q] Possible to use Verizon Galaxy Nexus on other carriers?

Is it possible to use the 32gb verizon nexus on other carriers, such as Rogers (this is what I'm on) or AT&T? If it does work on the other carriers, would it work with full 3g support?
I'd really like to get this phone, but the 16gb with no expandable memory is a killer for me since I have more that in just music :/ But I think I'd be alright with 32gb.
No. It is a cdma/lte device and only works on Verizon.

No. You'd need to get the GSM/HSPA+ version, which is available in Canada from Bell or Virgin Mobile. However, you can also get the unlocked version (which will cost $700-800) and use it on any GSM carrier in the world.
Damn...guess I'll have to get something else then bah. It's like every time they make a nexus phone, they have to cripple it one way or another. Meh.

Just buy one unlocked in Canada if/when the 32gb one comes out for GSM.. it's not crippled at all.

If there were plans to bring a 32gb version to Canada, i wouldn't mind waiting....but as there has been no word, and my current phone is dying on me, I'd like to get something new soon :/

Telus phones will be unlocked.
I'm with Bell. I bought a GN and put the SIM from my I9100 in, and all was well out of the box.
Any gsm galaxy nexus in Canada is unlocked. Don't worry. I have one from bell and using it with Koodo

[Q] Will verizon 32 gb Galaxy Nexus (sch 1515) work on t-mobile

hey guys ,
I bought a verizon 32 gb Galaxy Nexus (sch 1515) from craigslist. I was in a hurry so i didnt bother to check the phone. (i know i am stupid )
But I am with t-mobile. And when i put my t-mobile simcard in to it. it did not recognise it.
MY question is ... Is there any way to make this phone work on t-mobile (unlocking or anything else ) , Or am i better off by selling it away?
Any help is greatly appreciated
thank you
Nope.
Verizon uses CDMA technology, so it's not compatible with T-Mobile's network. Sell it or trade it for a GSM model. Probably cost you a little bit more, since the unlocked (GSM) version has better resale value usually.

Unlock?
The galaxy nexus was never locked to at&t. You don't need to do anything but stick a new sim card in it

This
the GSM galaxy nexus was SIM unlocked from the get go. the only carrier locked G-nexus' are the verizon and sprint ones.
stick a new SIM in and you are good to go.
you might have seen bootloader Unlocking....allowing you to flash a custom Recover and install Custom RoM's. and since this is a nexus, its SUPER easy.

helps galaxy s3 sph-l710 sprint

hello. I'm considering buying a galaxy s3 sprint sph-L710 but to unlock and use it with tmobile gsm. is there a method for sph-L720 s4 but not if for shp-L710 is the same unlock for use with tmobile, att etc. if anyone know if you can, appreciate your help
You can't use a sprint model gs3 on T-Mobile or AT&T. The sim card is integrated into the board and they run on different frequencies.
ok. thanks
