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?

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

Did you guys ever visit elect-band.com to buy a Gnez?

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.
Don't go to elec-band.com, they are rip-off artists

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...

I'm in the same boat. Only have had mine a few months. What will really fire me up is if it comes out before we have ICS on this one lol.

Ah, I'm running ICS right now and judging from some other threads I saw we might be getting ICS soon.
Rev 2 of our phones will be shipping with ICS apparently.

Doesn't Matter if they keep making these second class variants for US carriers.
Plus with everyone talking about how much they hate TW then what is there to look forward to on this phone.

Unless you wanted to wait until November to get the SIII, you made a good choice.
SII came out in April, landed in USA carriers in november. Just because they are doing an unveiling doesn't mean it'll come onto market the next day...
But I suppose you have the option of paying 600+ dollars for unlocked, international which still isnt a bad price, but I can think of a few places to put that 600 besides a phone. I'm happy I got the SII for FAR on the down payment.
Can always sell the SII and buy the SIII that way you save some bread..... but I can't wait to see this bad boy, even tho I may not want my SII anymore bcuz of it
SGH-T989
I bought thisnphone onnlaunch day at tmobile. I di agree it wont be getting launhed here in the states till way after the international release. Im saying 6 months after intl gets it well start to get news about carrier releases. If i do get it im buying it unlocked. But i did promise myself id stick with a phone until its no longer usable. I love my sgs2. Updates can wait because this can do everyrhing i need. I can do other thinga with 600+ dollars.

Its possible the release will be worldwide,not just euro/asia.
Might be why t-mo went with HTC one s.
I read an article or two its a worldwide release!

I'm guessing it will be awhile before we get it. All this confirms is an unveiling over seas.
On a side note check my new sig guys thought it was cool
Apples iPhone, There's a patent for that. Solving lifes dilemmas one lawsuit at a time.
I have little faith it will launch on US carriers the same day. We all know how US Carriers have serious fetish with bloats.
What I have heard is the moved back the launch date so it will launch in the states at the same time

This is utter BULLHONKY. I've had this phone since October and have been patiently waiting for ICS, and I swear that if Galaxy S III comes out before ICS for Galaxy S II I will DISOWN SAMSUNG and never buy a phone from them.

Exactly!! Anyone who thinks this phone will drop in the US anytime soon is crazy. Bloatware comes first when it comes to phones in the US. carriers will try anything to get more money from you. We were the last to see the galaxy sII on tmobile. Why would we see this phone anytime before January next year?
If there is no option for native ICS then I will pass. The galaxy sII will live on long past the release of the gsIII..
Well if it does get launched before June (which looks to be the case) I'm selling this phone and getting the international version. The 4G speeds don't matter to me since I never get over 8mbps anyway. I'd rather have the phone that gets updates right away and has better rom development.
I am on the hacked galaxy note running T-Mobile 4g. Well the size is starting to really bug me. Its just to damn big. Besides screen size, is it worth switching to straight talk (done with contracts for a while) and use the galaxy s3? Thank anyone who can help me.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I made the switch from the GT-N7000 to the US S3. And I never looked back. I can't get over how useful it is having 2Gb of ram. I would chose this over quad core any day.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Well I've heard a lot of speculation and I wanted another users opinion and a honest one. The phone seems so damn slow and I got a s3 with a mildly cracked screen for $100. IMHO I couldn't pass that one up. Figured sell the note for $300 and pay $175 to repair the screen. Still got pocket change afterwards. Does seem hella fast compared to the note
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I had both notes (i717 and n7000). The american note was slow. The international was a lot better. But. With the emmc brick bug, I was getting sick of ****ting my pants every time I wiped the phone. With much caution it is a great phone. The S3 though is that much better.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Yeah the phone running on jellybean seems so damn slow. And I'm guessing the extra gig of ram helps a lot as well as the s4 CPU. I didn't think the galaxy s3 was really anything.

Has anybody seen the branding on the Verizon version? They actually put the Verizon logo on the home button and the logos on the back are huge. If sprint does this I won't get it, Verizon managed to make a great looking phone into crap. I really don't mind the back, but really on the home button?
But there is no carrier logo on the sprint version

Haven't seen it yet, I'll get it if there isn't any. Love that sprint is doing so well now, first to get jellybean and start rolling out 4G faster. Happy I stayed
I am in December. That's when I'm paying my ETF and switching to either ATT on contract(I actually might buy the phone outright from them) or t-mobile prepaid, where I'd still have to buy it outright. I'm just fed up with Sprint.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
sprint's been doing good with 4g rollout and 3g speeds in san antonio, so i may pick it up. 5.5" is huge though!! (that's not what she said)
Bigger screen with the same resolution as the S3, pass.
Bigger screen is nice in bed watching youtube and movies, but you could have a tablet instead, and keep a phone for calling and stuff.
Phone has nice specs but with S3 and a 7" tablet w/pen functions I don't need it. I can see how a device like this could really catch on in the business community though. Wish I could put it in the hands of all my field techs but the cost of data plans is still too high.
I want to see what the lower dpi screens about. Also probably won't get cm10 for note 2 and even if we do probably won't get the s-pen working. I might pass and keep the s3.

Nahh.. seems to big for me. I mean the S3 is already bug enough and they're essentially the same phone
Just made the switch to a new s3 and loving it. Wanted to say hi and thanks in advance(will be hitting the button often)to the dev community here.
Started reading s3 forums about 2 weeks before I got my device and am amazed at all the stuff going on in this forum. The sgs4g was a great phone and i plan on playing around with it still, but only a small development group there.
So far: rooted, twrp, darthstalkerx, motomoto theme. Smooth, sexy and no issues at all.
Looking forward to a host of new flashing fun! Keep it up!

Well it's not like the s4 will be really cheap like the s3 is going right about now. As far as I'm concerned people still rock the s2 and never bought the s3,same with the note. I know you just "messing", but still to op welcome to the community

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the s3 got released like a month here in the states on most U.S. Carriers after the international release . I know with the s2 the U.S. market got it pretty late. But if that's the case the state release shouldn't be that far from us when the s4 drops.
