How on earth would a carrier branded, carrier updated, carrier bloated version of the Galaxy Nexus compete with the unlocked, GSM version that will work on Tmo OR Att?
Sprint and Verizon are cdma carriers who's contracted users cant use a GSM device, which is why they have their own versions.

Because this is better.
WHY would you ever want AT&T to offer this device???
$350 off contract is much better than paying $650 off contract or $199-$299 on contract at the carrier. It'd have carrier bloat, logos, locked down firmware (blocked tethering!) and slow updates.
If you seriously want an AT&T branded Nexus, you clearly don't get it...

good day.
Why does att do half the stupid crap they do? No one can answer that question. Since Google is selling it unlocked so cheap at $350 that's the deal of the century so just buy thru Google.

Well, AT&T still sells lots of Android phones. Apple can't tell AT&T what phones to buy, that's the pinnacle of antitrust.

they do sell other Android devices, but NOT the ones Apple is actively going after. And while Apple can't tell them what they can and cannot sell, I think it would be more of a conflict of interest. Yes...iphone has been released to other carriers but at one time att had exclusive rights to the device. Plus, like i said..Apple and att pretty much go hand in hand. while i have never liked Apple, it's good business sense for att. Kind of don't bite the hand that feeds/don't rock the boat?

That and none of the Android phones att has is technically in direct competition with the iphone. Am assuming there is some sort of clause in the contact with them

They don't go hand in hand anymore... Apple sells the iPhone on AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and another 5 regional / MVNO carriers in the USA now. Apple doesn't care anymore, they just wanna sell phones. It's a relationship of dependence between Apple and AT&T, simply out of necessity because Apple wants the access to the huge bucket of customers AT&T has, and AT&T just wants money.

Did you even read my post that you quoted? You're not making any sense at all.
You international guys are taking this question to a place it wasn't meant to go. The OP is just wondering why AT&T isn't offering it subsidized on contract..not asking for an AT&T branded and bloated GNex. Don't say this isn't possible, because both AT&T and T-mobile offered the Nexus S unbranded. Don't confuse Verizon's BS with the GSM carriers...

Actually it said
"But my test version, provided by Google just a day ago, relied on a T-Mobile SIM card tapping into an HSPA + network."
Which sounds more like it would be sold by tmobile at least.
I could be wrong though.
It's been posted elsewhere that the GSM version works on those networks. I read the article as simply meaning that the test model the reviewer was given was gsm, not lte.

Though I'd love for that to be the case, I really don't see how that is any indicator that T-Mo will be picking it up and selling it themselves. All that the above quote tells us is that the HSPA+ model is compatible with T-Mo's airwaves.
This thread is incredibly badly titled, given the huge assumption made by the OP :\
Thanks for the enormous cocktease.
I went to my Tmobile store and asked when they might get the Galaxy Nexus. The manager told me that Tmobile was not going to get this phone in their stores but it would be sold at Best Buy at some point. I went to Best Buy and asked them and of course they knew nothing about it. Why do they want to make it so hard for me to buy the darn phone? Makes no sense.
Close this misleading redundant thread !
This is very selfish of me but I hope it doesn't come to T-mobile. I want to buy this unlocked from overseas and use it with T-mobile and my legacy data plan. If T-mobile starts carrying it, they might end up filtering the device and force me to buy their more expensive, Android-compatible data plan.

Engadget was able to use both Tmo and AT&T SIMs successfully. Just thought I'd share. It shouldn't surprise anyone though considering the radios support both on paper. At this point, it would be nice to see when ANY carrier in the US will be selling this phone.

think of it this way.. is it REALLY a Nexus with bloatware? not me. its a galaxy phone
I currently have a T-Mobile(Nexus S) and Sprint(SII) line. I want to get an iPhone sooner or later, but waiting until the 5 comes out. So I'll have it on my Sprint line. For my T-Mobile line, I'm considering the idea of porting to Verizon for the Galaxy Nexus. But I'm hearing the Verizon version is getting the lock down treatment?
I'm going to keep my number, no matter what. The price of the line is the not the issue(work covers it). Also, the data plan is a non issue since I would get unlimited data with Verizon if I did switch. Should I expect the usual ROM fiesta for the Verizon version of the Galaxy Nexus like I'm used to with my Nexus One or S on T-Mobile? Or will it be different this time around? And I'm hearing you actually can get Wallet on the Verizon Nexus?
sorry to burst your bubble but Verizon no longer offers any unlimited data plans unless you're grandfathered in. And yes I heard the same things thats why I'm getting the unlocked international version on T-mobile USA
The Verizon version will be unlockable just like the GSM version.

Unlockable as in easy as pie rooting, si? Or you mean it has more frequencies/bands to work on other networks? I'm assuming the first one.
Just as a recommendation, look into porting your number to Google Voice. I did a few months back and it's just great to not have to worry about porting my number ever again.

Also: As referred before in this topic by Knolly, porting your number to Google Voice..
So if I port my number to Google Voice, how would it work? If someone calls that number, and I'm not on wifi/3G/any internet connection, would I still get calls? Will my calls only go through internet, or it just forwards to my carrier number?
Hey guys,
I was looking around for an unlocked version of the Galaxy Nexus in Canada, and stumbled on some information that the Bell/Virgin versions were actually sim-unlocked (being Nexus devices, and all). However, when I called The Source (closest store to me), they said that it is, in fact, locked.
Can anyone confirm that an off-contract Bell/Virgin Galaxy Nexus is sim-locked?
Thanks.
Don't listen to any of the workers. They tell you that to scare you into signing 3 year contract or they just don't know. Most of the workers have no clue about phones except what they are trained on.
Ex: last week in best buy mobile one girl told me they had the Galaxy Nexus for Rogers and they were selling them already.... I walked out once I heard that lol

Thats what I figured, and I know that Nexus devices are (almost?) always unlocked, but $650 is a lot to drop on a phone if I don't know for sure that I won't be able to use it, you know?

If you want to have some more peace of mind about the unlocking situation, i picked up a Galaxy Nexus from Virgin on the 7th. I threw my Rogers SIM in it without issue. So rest assured that are unlocked and work perfectly on Rogers.

I also picked my Nexus up but at the bell store. I actually was on rogers at the time, was going to bring it back to rogers. But, Rogers upload speeds on their network (Not LTE) is nothing more then 1Mb. Were as bell i've seen and i get 4-5Mb which is very nice for VOIP calling and video.
They also offered me a cheaper package deal then i was paying on rogers with the same features. And so i switched HAHAHA Never thought i would.
But this phone is unlocked as i did place an AT&T sim inside the phone and it also worked fine.(I have a AT&T account as well).

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.

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.

Anyone heard anything about verizon Note 7 being unlocked in BestBuy?
What he probably meant is that it is SIM unlocked. Almost all Verizon smart phones now are classified as World Phones which means they are SIM unlocked to be used anywhere in the world on a GSM network. This does not mean that they will have the bootloader unlocked.
Yeah as mentioned above he probably just meant carrier unlocked. Even as far back as the S5 Verizon phones have been unlocked to use any carrier, apart from sprint because they suck.

Part of Samsung's new security features, unlocked bootloaders will never be offered on major carrier networks in USA regions. This is why TMO devices have locked bootloaders today.

If you buy a Verizon phone from Samsung it will still be the same as any other Verizon N7. If you want it to work on Verizon and have all the original features you'll need to wait on the N930U to be released.
So the question... The oem unlock toggle doesn't do anything.. Just curious.. Mine toggles
