Thanks. Keep 'em coming!
I really hope google doesn't pull this exclusivity BS for too long.. I can't imagine they won't have this phone out on all carriers for the holidays but you never know what google has in there mind. I think we can all agree that google needs a better marketing strategy..

I'd love to have one next week. I'll stay hopeful.

Well it would be solid proof of a Verizon version here. Weve seen those shots of the 4g Lte logo on the back before but im curious as to where the Samsung logo plays in to this on the final version.

This makes things interesting... pics of description tmrw?
of course, they could just be copying information from the Samsung or Google site right now, which of course lists that there are 2 models.... wouldn't be the first time that a big name electronics store used the wrong description for their system lol. Just something to keep in mind.
Yeah i wouldn't be surprised if it was wrong they also fail to mention ICS or how much memory is on it so i don't know.

Nice. Thanks for the pics. Very interesting it still says "LTE or HSPA+". Still sounds like a general copy/paste list of marketing speak from Samsung given to sellers. Makes me hopeful though.

Interesting that it says 8.94mm thickness, which is the correct thickness for the HSPA+ model, but according to unconfirmed reports from some Chinese sites the thickness of the LTE model should be 9.34mm. This could mean one of two things: RadioShack actually will have two models of the Galaxy Nexus, and they happen to list the HSPA+ model thickness; or like martonikaj said, just a poor copy-paste job from marketing material.
What I am wondering is, I would like to go to Verizon to get the 4g lte and enjoy my nez to the full potential, although I think that development isn't moving along a due to lack of support or lack of gsm. If I buy a gnez for Verizon will I bee missing out on movement?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Gnex.
And lack of development?
I've seen more CDMA (Verizon) only roms than visa-versa.
And there are only a couple.
You're not going to miss anything.
Great new guys go to wirefly to get your gnez
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Did you guys ever visit elect-band.com to buy a Gnez?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
its GNex not Gnez... but I prefer calling it GN.
I have the Google Nexus GSM and I'm very happy with it. Please remember that the Nexus family is a Developers family (although any user could work with it) applying custom ROMS is very easy and can be done in a lot of ways since the phone was made to be tempered with.
The community for custom ROMS and android development is very active for the phone you are about to admire and cherish.
some note for you:
Install an app that disables the 4g when the phone sits in your pocket... some people around here noticed the batery drains very fast when you leave 4g on in your pocket!
but to be honest. I life in the Netherlands and we haven't got 4G over here... even 3G loads websites, music and movies amazingly fast. as for browsing you could use Chrome which is released for android 4.0 users.
Hop on and enjoy the ride with nexus!
Would you trust the website I mentioned to buy a almost new gnez for almost 215 dollars or does if come off like a rip off?

Huh? Wirefly has it for $79.99 if you're starting a new contract. Any other place buying it used, that's up to you to decide.
And for Christ's sake its a Galaxy Nexus, not a Galaxy Nezus.
I'm trying to go month to month so I can end service and reactivate when necessary, any body got a good shot to shoot at this?

Well buy it used anywhere you want and make sure the ESN is clean. Then just go activate it with Verizon month to month.

Hey look I was just looking over the ROM lists for the gsm and lte versions, and it seems the lte version had less roms, is that because of the Verizon network?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
No, thats because the gsm version has been around for a few months now and the lte verdion was just recently released to the market

I'll have to disagree here. I believe the difference comes down to market penetration.
GSM = World phone (anyone worldwide)
LTE = Verizon customers only.
The more phones out there, the more developers will work with that phone.

Just checked and yes... sorry.
Then my guess would be that you guys in US have 4g networks together with switserland and just a handfull of other countries. So the only roms floating around would come from these places.
I could buy an lte device in the Netherlands using ebay or so but there would be no way to go beyond 3g around here for me. And going to switserland to check my mail lightning fast would mean that i had to drive there and pay €5,- (± $7,-) for every downloaded/uploaded MB...

Normally I would be flaming right beside u guys for posting common knowledge stuff. However..I have been through 4 different android phones, 2 blackberry phones and one winmo phone...all using sim cards and this is the first time I've heard of cutting up sim cards. Up until the s3 I thought all sim cards were the same size and shape
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
They even have SIM card cutters. I used to work for Rogers, they're insanely convenient and easy to use.
cutting SIM cards date back to the release of iPhone 4. If you never heard of it, props to you for not give a phuc about iphones.

I dont know if you guys will remember, but when the atrix came out, they were saying our old "3g" sim cards would not work in the "4g"(boy they used that term loosely) devices. If I simply cut my existing sim card and put it in my soon to be delivered red sg3, will it work with lte?
it should, dont see why it wouldnt /\/\

I had never heard of this until this phone either. So, it's perfectly acceptable that you didn't think this was common knowledge. Amazes me how some folks think that just bc not everyone is totally obsessed with their phone that makes them idiots.

One thing I noticed is that if you cut your sim card, you don't have to pay the $36 upgrade fee for AT&T to change your active sim card. (Or at least they haven't hit me up for it yet. I ordererd my phone through amazon).
I did this, and I lost the ability to send mms, had to go get a micro sim.

does your LTE work? i tried this with my atrix 4G's SIM before I tried the included LTE SIM when I ordered it, and I was not able to get data on the phone.
Yes I'm an idiot, I know. I bought it off eBay and realized too late.Question is, can I pay a lab to mod it for me or something? It's a Verizon. I heard it has a microSIM slot that's almost sealed shut but still existing. So it would probably just require reprogramming the frequencies. And I'll handle unscrewing the slot and inserting my SIM. Is this possible?

Worse case scenario you can sell it. The good thing is it is a very desirable phone. The sim also is completely removable. Your thinking of the sprint version which has the weird sim situation.

No. The Verizon Galaxy S3 is a world phone that also supports GSM&HSPA on top of CDMA/LTE. The Verizon Galaxy Nexus is not a world phone.
