Not sure. I'm sure both of these phones will be announced at MWC happening next month.
@Josh: How come? T-Mobile was the first network to have the first Android phone, G1.
Supported by Nexus One, Nexus S.

Well if anything I'm waiting for best buy to sell the GSM Galaxy Nexus. But the Tmobile thing would be great as I could get it with a 2 year contract upgrade hence being less money.
I hope Tmobile does get it because of that.

Well for one, it would probably be news everywhere by now, and for T-Mobile to sell it it has to clear the FCC.. and such has not happened yet so that automatically pushes it back a few months if T-Mobile ever gets it
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Also.. just because they were the first doesn't really mean anything.. There is no news of anyone carrying the phone stateside outside of Verizon and Sprint.

Just wondering.. how come you're waiting for Best Buy to have it? A GSM carrier such as T-Mobile and AT&T needs to offer it. And from rumors, AT&T wants to remove the pentaband off GSM Galaxy Nexus (not sure why). You'll also have to pay tax.
Buying it from Expansys or Negri will give you one-year warranty. Also, you won't have to pay taxes.
@joshnichols189: That is true about the FCC. Just wish we had the full information on Verizon's exclusivity and what it really meant in full terms.
Exclusivity really hurts the customer in the long-run.
Just figured since T-Mobile had been the first network in the U.S. to get things rolling for Android that they wouldn't have such a big problem convincing Google to provide the Galaxy Nexus to their network. Not to mention, it wouldn't take much effort since the phone supports pentaband (4G on their network already). But T-Mobile may want the Snapdragon processor so the phone is 100% compatible with 41Mbps (theoretically) to market the phone.
It's funny because the people working at Google were giving away the GSM variant of the Galaxy Nexus rather than the CDMA one for Christmas.

Because my mother (the one who will technically purchase the phone) doesn't want to buy one from overseas.
So being able to go to best buy and get it would be preferred, and when I say the GSM version I do mean international (UK) because I don't need the LTE radio and it also causes problems

Edit: still @ same price to ship one from UK as was upon release?

You're not buying one from overseas (well.. they come from overseas but when you buy they dont ship from overseas at time of purchase). When you purchase off Amazon, Newegg, Negri Electronics, Expansys or whatever the phones are already in their warehouses ready to be shipped as long as payment is done.
Even some Frys stores are selling the phone in stores.
There are only two variants of the phone: toro (CDMA/LTE) and maguro (GSM). The maguro variant is a pentaband phone meaning it supports 4G on BOTH AT&T and T-Mobile (HSPA+ 21Mbps theoretical speeds).
And no prices are not the same. They've been dropping because a White version of Galaxy Nexus is coming along with 32GB GSM versions.

Right I would need the Maguro..
So what's the cheapest for 16GB Black at the moment?

You don't need to worry about accidently buying the wrong model.
maguro = GT-I9250

$656.50... there are coupons on the internet that can make it cheaper, I'll try looking on their twitter feed since I remembered seeing one
Edit: nope none valid at the time unless you want a white GN which is $60 more expensive.

Alright good luck. If the phone retails for like $529.99, it'll come out to be $580 after taxes. Just a heads up.
They also ship from Las Vegas, NV.

Will trade sprint nexus for a gsm nexus

I recently got a letter and a call that said I would be dropped from sprint due to excessive roaming and even though I had legitimate reasons why I was roaming I couldn't sway their opinion so now I need to trade my sprint nexus for a gsm one if anyone can help let me know

Sell it on ebay? Should be able to get 300-350 which is around the cost of an unlocked one from the play store. Off contract the phone is 550$ so you shouldnt have a problem selling it for around that price.

There isn't a 32GB GSM version, is there? Just something to keep in mind while you're making deals.

Post in the Marketplace.
And GL getting a straight trade. The Sprint version is hardly worth what the GSM one is, even at the $399 Play Store price.

I'm currently with Verizon I have the galaxy nexus but wish I stayed with t mobile or went with att,I had a g1 on release day ordered my nexus 1 when it was available for pre orders. purchased the nexus s, but returned it ASAP because of bugs and reboots. I'm not knocking Verizon, because their network is phenomenal compared to tmobile, but I had so much freedom with tmobile hardware wise the galaxy nexus old but superior to other phones because of its software in only saying that I will no longer purchased anything but a nexus.

my GF has a LTE Nexus, and i have a GSM model. my phone is far more stable with regards to radio stability. her phone is a mess when it comes to LTE/CDMA handoffs.
i should probably check for a radio update for her phone...

^Mine doesn't! It's been solid all around since day 1. :good:

At this point in time the gsm Nexus is one of the best deals around. I've been kicking myself for a while now for going with verizon and not prepaid. $350 for the phone and $50 or less a month for service is crazy cheap compared to Verizon or any other postpaid.
The way google did everything, I suspect they planned on this phone hitting its stride 6-8 months after it's release. When the unsubsidized price dropped to reasonable levels, BAM they put it up for sale themselves and put Jellybean on it making the Nexus a superphone that is semi affordable.

I don't get plagued by all these radio issues people talk about.
Having a GSM Nexus isn't possible for me so I'm happy with my CDMA Nexus and I don't think any less or more of the GSM variant.

If only At&t would offer unlimited data I would never have this CDMA crap again.

I have a VZW Galaxy Nexus and I agree with you guys even though I have no rational proof to support my claim.
Please indulge my anecdotal justification instead:
It feels like the GSM versions are better supported, maybe not in the dev community (it still seems like all of the development who provide updates also have GSM versions and I'm very curious to know if any of them use the VZW version as their main phone.) That may or may not be the case but CDMA support from manufacturers seems to be an afterthought at times. VZW doesn't even get some of the nicer phones sometimes. They really came through with getting us the original Droid though. That was a great phone. I haven't had a phone yet that I've liked as much as I liked the Droid when it was new.
I still have to point out that where I live my VZW Nexus still gets me more reliable service (even with its assinine bounces between 3g/LTE in my office) than anyone using a phone on any other carrier. Having a great flashy phone with the latest updates does little good if you can't get online. Sure my coworker gets 40MB/s up and down when he's at the north side of our building but he has to tether to me if he wants to get online where we spend most of the day.
If I spent a lot of time where I could get reliable GSM connections at the price I'm paying VZW with my discount, I'd switch in a heartbeat.

[Q] Unlocked Galaxy Nexus works with all carriers?

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?

I for the most part just dislike the company policies. The service is fine, just a little pricey. Customer service has always left me wanting better, and I personally find the handling of the Galaxy Nexus to be quite the fiasco.

Just to say...
Verizon and sprint updated their galaxy nexus to 4.1 via OTA months after jellybean came out.
But the key here is that they still kept their promise and we had jelly bean before any other phone on their roster.
Even the hottest phone of the year Galaxy s3 didn't get jellybean till this week.(Verizon still waiting)
Verizon held up their end. You were the first to get jelly bean and unless the nexus 4 comes to Verizon, you will be the first on Verizon to have 4.2
The new Droid DNA comes with 4.1.2 so you're fine.
