[Q] 32GB HSPA+ Version

I tried to see if this was asked already. Mods, please delete if so.
After reading/watching The Verge review, it is mentioned that the HSPA+ version will only come in a 16GB option. Does anyone know if this is true? I'm sure, like me, a lot of people here were planning to get a 32GB HSPA+ version. Thanks.

i'll only get the 32GB version, there's no point getting the 16GB version
and yes we need GSM HSPA+ for Tmo/ATT

i think The Verge may be getting confused...since the UK is the only place that has the phone at the moment, and it's already been confirmed that the UK is only getting the 16GB version, they may be taking that as being a blanket designation for all the HSPA+ handsets.
The japanese NTT Docomo advert quite clearly states that it is available in 16GB & 32GB capacities.

We really don't know right now. Indicators are that the UK HSPA+ version is 16 and the US LTE version is 32, but that's just because we really don't know too much more than that right now...

And that is a big reason why the launch of this reeks. No details.
I invented cyberspace. You're trespassing.

Yup, I agree. This is getting really annoying.

the *****ing and moaning would be a lot more tolerable if say google said something like the unlocked gsm/hspa+ version would be available unlocked in the usa like january 3 or something. something to look forward to at least. we'd still whine 'why the hell give verizon exclusivity?' and such but again at least we'd have something to look forward to.

Just looked on google.com/nexus... I am disappointed.
When you select United States at the bottom and go to the tech specs, under data it says CDMA/LTE; however, when you select United Kingdom, under data it says 3G/EDGE/GPRS.
I'm beginning to think that in the US there will be only a LTE/Verizon nexus

i think the only 32gb nexus will be the thicker verizon unit... i could be wrong. but if you have seen any other evidence of a gsm 32gb variant ..please point it out. i have seen nothing

Samsung on FB said the UK will only get the 16GB "initially" .. meaning there is a 32GB GSM, it just won't hit until...Dec/Jan? My guess is around the time (or exactly when) the GSM Nexus comes to the US.

It wasn't an interpretation Samsung literally used the word "initially" in their reply on Facebook.

Im holidaying in the US of A near the end of December, will it be possible for me to buy a 32gig 3g/gsm/hsdpa etc etc model of the Galaxy Nexus unlocked anywhere??? Its either I wait to get it when im there or I can just buy a Galaxy Note model now..
This is a bit ridiculous of google having all this advertising, pretty looking girls smiling into the camera using the phone etc and having absolutely no info on where/when/what (32gig GSM or only 16g??)
Dont advertise until ALL the details are available, it just pisses off people who want one!
(and why must Samsung always leave out one bit from each phone, no galaxy notes with nfc available yet? and nexus with no sdcard if the note had nfc/ics i'd get it now instead of the nexus)

Interesting to see that the UK Galaxy nexus page shows tech specs of 32 gb.
As long a 32 gb hspa+ is release, either in UK or US, i don't care. The phone is pentaband.....

There is no indication whatsoever that Google will sell an unlocked GSM version in the US. The only info we have now is the CDMA/LTE Verizon version for the states.

I need a GSM 32GB...
I don't want to get it months later though

Handtec has a listing for the 32GB GSM model, and predicts an after New Years launch. When asked if they know for sure, they said Samsung hasn't told them anything

best guess it'll be sometimes in March 2012 before you see it's appearance for the 32GB GSM version

No idea what bad ESN means but you can't use a Verizon Nexus on T-Mobiles network. CDMA phone on a GSM network will not work.

No, pretty sure you hot confused by the penta-band part.
That's just for GSM frequencies.
The Verizon gnex is a different model number too, its the i515 and the GSM is the i9250.
I'm not 100% certain it won't work but I'm 99% certain.
Maybe someone else can second that for me.
Can you sell it on again?
EDIT: I see someone already posted and verified it before I posted this! Me derpsta!

Yes a verizon cdma phone will not work on a T-mobile gsm network. They are completely different networks. Now you may be able to flash the phone to work on another cdma carrier like boost or metro pcs. You would need to buy a european gsm version of the galaxy nexus to use it on t-mobile.

Not to pour salt on your wounds or anything, but here in Canada, BNIB Galaxy Nexuses are ~$450. $300 seems a bit high for such a fatal defect in the phone. Maybe this is Canadian pricing as all of our carriers sell the phone.
Hope you can somehow get some money back for it.

I doubt you'll get your money back. You should know what you are bidding on, never assume. I mean would you really give someones cash back because they made a mistake? Put it back on ebay and cut your losses.

You'll be lucky if you can resell it for $200-$250 with a bad ESN.

I'd buy it for $200...better than a galaxy player IMHO. There are a bunch of cdma/GSM phones. I have one...Droid 3

Yeah, there are a lot of them. Besides several different Blackberries, off the top of my head, I know that Verizon has had the Touch Pro 2, Droid 2 Global, Droid Pro, Droid 3, Droid Incredible 2, and the iPhone 4S. I know Sprint has also had several CDMA/GSM devices as well.
I really wish Verizon's Galaxy Nexus had been a world phone with GSM capabilities, but it's not. Then it would be absolutely perfect for me. But up until this point, Verizon hasn't released a LTE phone that also has a functioning GSM radio for global use. Some of them (Droid Bionic, Droid Razr) have a GSM radio (one of those CDMA/GSM combo chips), but the GSM portion doesn't actually function. There were some rumors awhile back that the GSM capabilities might possibly be enabled later, but I never saw where things went beyond rumor.

Don't you people know better to ask your questions here first before spending your money?
At least the seller was up front about the bad ESN. Now wonder if he was the one who stole the device, lol.

Probably covered already... but no, this will not work. Ever. You bought a paperweight. Could've bought a GSM model for $100-$150 more.
Its amazing that you didn't research before buying, and you spent $300 on a bad ESN phone w/o a plan on what to do with it. A simple 5 minutes on Google would have given you the answer.

There are people that will flash a Verizon Galaxy Nexus to Straight Talks CDMA phone part of their system....and I don't want to get into the whole flashing thing but that could be an option.

Confirmed : Galaxy Nexus On The Way To ATT with 4G LTE

Though this may come as no surprise to some we have just received word from a very very good source that an unconfirmed number of AT&T SIM Cards (RS# 17-0700 and likely 4G LTE) for the Galaxy Nexus are going out for testing as we speak. Curiously the SIMS are standard and not the micro like Verizon Wireless. This means of course we can finally certify the release of Samsung and Google’s latest collaboration will be hitting AT&T in the very near term. I have to protect my source but this is coming from very close to the situation. We will keep you posted as more details come about. Are you on AT&T and have been waiting for the the official release of the G-Nex you can count on it soon enough. We broke this right here and we expect to be credited this time. Thanks.
Update: Our tipster just added that the SKU for these SIM cards is 73057 and that they do seem to be 4G LTE enabled!!!!

Bet you $50 it's only HSPA+. Note, that the email only said it was "likely" LTE. They're speculating. Then note that they're using MiniSIM not micro. The whole reason why they use MicroSIM in Toro is because they couldn't fit the LTE antennas and logic chips and the full sized SIM in the already larger housing.

Yeah kinda strange.
When I switched to the LTE-enabled data plan with an LTE phone IMEI number, they had to give me a new LTE SIM for my GSM GN. So maybe the article meant LTE SIM going to the field with GN test units?

I think you are right.
After receiving my new GN last Friday, I went to the local AT&T store to get a data plan. Contrary to AT&T ads there is no 4G in South Florida. My phone gets what is available: H+. I just had to move the Sim card from my Nexus One to the GN.
Since my Galaxy Nexus is not an AT&T I have no obligation to buy a data plan. I might drop mine after reading the speedtest

To Clarify
Since our entire post has been repasted here i felt the need to clarify. The SIMS are not at all phone specific and not sure how that was insinuated in the post. There is more information I may be cleared to release as to why it was necessary for these SIMS to go out and an enterprising mind that thinks on it for a while can probably figure it out. The problem is I cannot yet tell folks where the SIMS were coming from and where they were going. I also know how many SIMS there were. If I get cleared to release that info I promise to update the information. Lets for the sake of argument put the SIM card aspect aside. The important part is the document in question confirms the existence of the handset in question. Number one rule of journalism is protect your source. If i gave out that information that would put him/her at considerable risk. I promise there will be more info soon.

It would be shocking if AT&T wasn't buying USIM's without a LTE logo. Yes, logo. There is no physical difference between a UMTS 3G USIM and one used in LTE devices.
SOURCE: Gemalto, who makes most of the SIM's for AT&T

Damn and I just paid $498 for a GSM to use on AT&T. However LTE in my area is delayed so LTE model would be useless to me. Plus AT&T branding and bloat ware Yuck!
I have two upgrades in May due. If anything Id rather get a One X for $199 hopefully to try out and still keep my Nexus. Never tried Sense so who knows. I really just like the look and screen quality of the One X. I could always sell it for $500 if it doesn't work out.

we have photographs of these sims with no LTE logo thanks to our friends at radio shack so im sorry that is not entirely true. Also we know these SIMS have been being used since the 4th quarter of last year so we are aware that there is no difference. For some of you there won't be truth to it until the phone is announced but it's funny those are the people who scrutinize speculation the most. We have clarified the original story on our site for those people and for now we will wait and see. I'm only here commenting because my story is here. I don't care to convince anyone specific of it's validity, as for our readers, us reporting it makes it valid enough.

So I hope you are right, but will not be shocked if you are not.

Posts 11, 12, 13, and 16 part of the answer is in post 10

So unless someone has pictures of the device, sales materials, etc.... how is this a "confirmed" rumor?

5 bucks says only the 16GB version will be available.
....I remember reading about a month ago that Samsung has stopped producing the 32 GB version and will focus on a 16 GB version to promote cloud storage. Hopefully its BS for you ATT guys and girls. Watch for it none the less.

My gnex has a broken screen and is a GSM that I'm using on t mo. What I want to know is if I buy a Verizon version with a bad esn would the screen on the cdma version work on the GSM one.
Also a bonus question would I be able to put the 32 gb memory in the GSM version.

Possibly... but the phones are definitely not built the exact same (just take the battery cover off and you'll see). So I'd need someone with more technical knowledge of the differences to chime in.
Depending on how much you're paying for that you might be better off selling yours for parts and buying a new one since they're only $399 now.

Definitely no.

They definitely have some differences in parts. When I had an issue with one of my GSM versions I remember looking up tear downs for both and they were a lot more differences that I originally thought. I'd be very cautious attempting to put a part from the cdma variant into GSM until you're 100% sure it'll work. Hopefully someone here can confirm.

NTT Docomo's version is carrier locked to NTT Docomo. You can fix this by unlocking it.
T-Mobile doesn't need your IMEI. But I don't know what T-Zone is.... I just popped in my SIM card and the phone works with my T-Mobile plan.
The non-Docomo version on Negri is cheaper,

I bought mine brand new on ebay. The seller happened to be in US but they are usually sold by Canadian ebayers. Not many people know about it. Unlocked ver is lil more expensive. When u go on ebay, Try 's ii x' in search field then choose cell phones under categories tab on the left side.
Some times, it is found on t989 Unlocked version section. Or u could try ebay.ca(canadian ebay) and then search the phone and then narrow it down to if the seller is shipping to US or not.
I recommend g nexus because price has dropped alot and u can also get us warranty now. I also really like aosp.
Of coaese I am happy with gsiix as u literally experience no lag due to high processor speed and RAM.
As for s ii x it is exactly same as tmobiles g s 2 wihout tmobile logo and they wont make u get android plans. Wifi calling works on s ii x but u will need new tmobile
Sim card version TM9177 just as all other tmobile gs2 users. I tried the sim card to use wifi calling and it worked great. I hope this helps.
Edit: I would wait a little as g s 3 is about to be released. Price for GN and SIIX will likely drop.
HTC sensation xe z715e could be a better choice if u can get one new under 400 and I dont think it uses dual channel hspa+ like the previous two. I could be wrong so u might want to confirm that.
Sent from my Galaxy S 2 X

One more thing that I would like to mention is that HSPA+ can be picky for both gnex and gsiix for ur tzone. depending on ur location. This is different from hsdpa of nexus one, nexus s or hd2 etc. If you are concerned with rather have consistent and good 3g plus connection and if u r on the move alot then I recommend nexus s. If you have to have WiFi calling and good 3g plus connection then I recommend a HD2 but it has to be second revision. Otherwise your digitizer will fail sooner or later.
I ve tried it in mostly eastern part of major US cities. Charlotte, Atlanta, NYC and Boston. I came to this conclusion based on my personal testing and experience so I have no data to back up my cliams. I am just sharing it cuz it might be useful to others.

I bought mine brand new on ebay. The seller happened to be in US but they are usually sold by Canadian ebayers. Not many people know about it. Unlocked ver is lil more expensive. When u go on ebay, Try 's ii x' in search field then choose cell phones under categories tab on the left side.
Some times, it is found on t989 Unlocked version section. Or u could try ebay.ca(canadian ebay) and then search the phone and then narrow it down to if the seller is shipping to US or not.
I recommend g nexus because price has dropped alot and u can also get us warranty now. I also really like aosp.
Of coaese I am happy with gsiix as u literally experience no lag due to high processor speed and RAM.
As for s ii x it is exactly same as tmobiles g s 2 wihout tmobile logo and they wont make u get android plans. Wifi calling works on s ii x but u will need new tmobile
Sim card version TM9177 just as all other tmobile gs2 users. I tried the sim card to use wifi calling and it worked great. I hope this helps.
Edit: I would wait a little as g s 3 is about to be released. Price for GN and SIIX will likely drop.
HTC sensation xe z715e could be a better choice if u can get one new under 400 and I dont think it uses dual channel hspa+ like the previous two. I could be wrong so u might want to confirm that.
