Uk 4g rolling out to 16 cities and 98% by 2014 - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

This is great, do you think the new gnex gt-i9260 will have 4g capabilities for the uk??
T-mobile uk and orange's parent company announced on sept 11th that would be rolling out 4g lte.
Also would the uk be able to import a 4g gnex from america?

You want to know if a rumored device will have service from a company that hasn't even provided the actual coverage yet. My magic 8 ball says ask later

Speed test and usage comparison, no reason to be all grumpy.
By the end of 2012 those 16 cities will be live, 3 months is hardly a long wait.

Galaxy Nexus April 15th?

Looks like it might be sooner then a few people thought. Yes we are happy with our S2's but still nice to know.

Yep can't wait
Hopefully this means we we'll see Samsung post the ics source around end of march/ beginning of April.

Intriguing but too bad a lot of people will be disappointed by the 3g speeds from sprint (especially if they have actually "good" "4g" wimax coverage)
Keeping my friend waiting between this or just buying the int'l version and getting the tmobile prepaid 4g plans...
What are the 200 LTE sites they are referring to in the article? I mean, are certain cities or states definitely going to have LTE when the phone launches and if so, which?

Google's release of the Galaxy Nexus was a complete FAIL.
Is the CDMA version still not on the "support list" anymore? Or was that resolved?
Complete FAIL.

SprintbNetwork vision Tampa Brandon Florida

Just talked to a good source from sprint and was told LTE is underway in Tampa Florida and should be live in August don't know if anyone knows about that but if not now you do

U will know when they are starting to release it because their will probably be more outages around the area from them trying to get the network right just like with Verizon. I've seen a couple of threads for places where they are trying to get it up now reporting outages

Thanks! As a USF student this is great news. I got my Galaxy Nexus and honestly thought I wouldn't be using LTE till sometime in 2013 but if this is true that is great news.
I'm a Brandon Verizon Gnexus user, but I'm glad the Sprint Brethren will be getting LTE sooner rather than later, I'll be sure to pass this on to my friends with Sprint :3
U might have it sooner Then that june first wave has set some florida citys more like july first

I also live in Brandon, verizon gnex. I get a good connection to 4G and then data completely drops after a short period. My phone or is anyone else having this issue?
Forgive the Hijack, just thought having the attention of locals was a good opportunity.

I have t-mobile, but if I had att I wouldn't switch just because of handset availability.
If you are out of contract you should weigh the pros and cons of each in terms of coverage in your area, pricing of comparable plans to satisfy your needs, and THEN device selection.
Plus if you wait a lil longer you can maybe get your hands on the red version!
You realise you can get the AT&T GS3 overnighted to you. You just have to call up and ask for one.
I have a new line with the one x and I'm within my 30 days maybe I'll just see if bb has them. I would switch carriers based on horrible service that att has

I wouldn't switch.. far as I know ( and correct me if I'm wrong ) the T-Mobile version of the SGSIII does NOT have LTE !! To me, that would be a waste.

It has badass hspa+ (42mbps) though which can just as fast as lte depending on location. And it doesnt kill battery like lte, so id say the tmo version is a great option..

LOL, Best Buy is not selling AT&T Galaxy S3's over the counter! I dont know where you have heard that, but you definitely haven't been following either of the 2 Official Best Buy Galaxy S3 threads.
If Best Buy does have them in stock for AT&T, which is a HUGE IF, they are saying they cannot sell them because AT&T has not announced an official release date/launch date. I know, that makes not sense and is a huge lie, but that is what they are saying.
So NO, Best Buy is not selling AT&T Galaxy S3's over the counter.

That doesn't make sense. That CS rep is an idiot, and has no idea when the OTA is coming.
No one here knows either. It's gonna be a couple months, sorry. Nexus devices do get direct OTAs, except when you have a CDMA model and the carrier has to approve the update first. Then it takes a couple months.
That seems kinda pointless to have a nexus device if it is carrier affiliated that's the point of quick otas.. is anyone building jb from source or compiling from GSM devices thanks

Of course they are, because the GSM one already has source and OTAs. But you don't have a GSM device...
There are source ROMs for the Sprint one too, but they don't have updated radios, because the Sprint device isn't fully supported in AOSP at the moment.
I heard that it will be this Monday but who really knows.... the nexus s 4g took forever to get ICS : /

The idea of a nexus is direct ota's like you stated, but you have one problem. Your nexus is branded with a carrier, so you are at the mercy of the carrier and not Google.

These were the other day. I'm in the southwest suburbs of Chicago, and its been polling up all over. The speeds vary in different locations, but I haven't seen anything really bad yet. And its not even "officially" on yet.

Honestly, my speeds with big red weren't really that far off. I've very seldom gotten over 30 down and 10 up w Verizon. They're about the same as far as the speeds I've seen. Its the coverage that's scketchy.

Carrier pigeon is faster than Sprint 3g, so it doesn't take much.
But yeah. Those are pretty good speeds. Glad to see Sprint picking up their game.

i'm trying to locate a good place to buy Sprint Nexus off-contract, mint-condition used or new to use on Sprint network without signing/extending contact. i currently have gt-i9250 on t-mobile, while my friend has htc evo on sprint, i wanna switch him over to nexus experience without singing another 2 year contract.
Anyone knows a good place in Boston/Mass/NH or online where i can buy SPH-L700?!
Thank you in advance
and sorry for not creating separate thread.
Not to be a downer, but when I got the TBolt (First Verizon 4G Lte phone) my speeds were constantly 35+ Mbps everywhere I went. Now that everyone and their mother has a 4G phone I am lucky to get about 10 - 15Mbps in most places. Saturation is a killer.
