32 GB Verizon Galaxy Nexus?

I picked up my galaxy nexus the other day. I looked at my internal storage, and noticed that I had 30 GB of memory left. I thought that the 32 GB LTE version was discontinued. Anyone else recently get a GNEX and get a 32 GB LTE version recently?

2GB is used for Android OS / partition / etc...
It's like when you buy a hard drive / flash drive.... it retails as 8GB/16GB/32GB/64GB... but it's not the full size.
your phone is proper.

No.
...of the people, by the people, for the people...

I think the OP is saying that he expected to get a 16GB unit and wound up with a 32GB one instead

I bought mine yesterday and have 32gb of storage.

It was never discontinued.

The 32 GB GSM version was cancelled.

I went into my Verizon store to upgrade to one of these today and they said they no longer carry the phone, at all. I guess it was a problematic phone? It makes me angry since now the only option I have left is the Razr... meh.

They still carry it. Your local store may not, but they do in general still carry it.
You can order it online as well.

Yea, I just checked to make sure it was still online. Strange my local stores aren't carrying it anymore. Too many problems, they said.

Are they VZW Corporate stores, or 3rd party retailers?

If its a REAL Verizon store, they're basically forced to carry it.

Last i checked (vz site and samsung), there is no 16gb vzw gnex. There were rumors about a white 16 back in march/april around when the droid 3 was released, but only 32 on vz.

Imagine how much more it would of sold...

If Samsung put in
32gb on GSM version or 16gb with microSD slot......
I would of definitely would of picked up one with 32gb or SD card slot..

Onboard storage is irrelevant when you live in the cloud. Just like Google wants you to. I have 9GB free. Most of my space is taken up by backups and ROMs.

Same here. I dont miss sd card slot at all.

I only miss the SD card because I have several Android devices and I'd like to be able to take one out and put it another one in for purposes such as music, etc.

32gb would have been nice so I could keep more than 2 roms backed up at once on my galaxy nexus plus allow for all my games,apps an music, 16 gb really doesn't go that far for me, I find myself uninstalling a lot of stuff an keeping apps an games backed up with titanium backup so I can easily get it back quickly if I need to so I have storage space.

Free "Thanks" I did not mean to thank you.
But anyway, I have like 10 back ups + music + HQ movies. I honestly don't see a difference in sells if Google were to add additional storage to this phone.

Maybe sales may even have gone done because the price would have to be a bit more.

I totally agree that I'd have liked to see a 32GB option and/or a slot for a microSDXC card, like the Galaxy SIII has. I don't want to depend on cloud storage for my music files. And I'd rather use my own music app rather than the Google Play music player. A 64GB microSDXC card in the GN would be perfect.
As it is, I bought a 64GB flash drive that I mount on my GN via USB OTG and Stickmount. Not ideal, but it works.

Would of?
What the hell does that mean?
Would've, while sounding like "would of" is in fact short for "would have"
Together the two words show timing and intent, but could be used apart:
I would buy.
I have bought.
But the same is not true of your use of the word "of."
I of bought.
Simple mistake based on tricks our ears play on us.
No offense intended.

Well states wise, how much they would have sold, if Google had a unified launch of launch product. as i remember the release date from Verizon was foggy at best. Then they offered no way buying in the stateside besides Ebay/Amazon, till whatever exclusivity deal expired with Verizon. Then Google finally offered directly and Sprint got the phone.
I could only imgine that this phone would have sold well, if it had any amount of marketing, and unified launch besides one carrier in the states

I have an 8gb card in my phone now and 1.1gb left it's safe to say that 16gb will be okay for me. I'm looking at price point of the phone. Not the memory.

You really think it would have sold any more units with 32GB storage? I find that hard to believe. If you choose your phone based on 16GB vs 32GB storage, and are willing to give up having a Nexus because of it, you clearly don't get it. I still have yet to understand why anyone would need that much storage.
And MicroSD sucks. Partitions and UMS are just a pain in the ass. Don't expect Google to ever use them again in a Nexus device.

Nexus 7 16gb is OOS...

Guess Google didn't expect people to pony up the extra $50 for the already limited storage. But that is a good thing. Hopefully we will see more 32gb nexus devices soon.

I have my slew of apps, a few big (250mb or so) ones, and several hundred mb of pics/wallpapers. Other than that I'm using Google Music / Pandora / TuneIn Radio for my music and I'm not one for movies.
I've still got 10.2GB available on the device.

I came from a HTC Desire so I am used to having very little storage (although I loved that people were able to figure out how to make EXT4 partitions make the phone believe it had more internal storage)... I really don't mind the 16GB, it is more than I will ever need. I only keep apps and data for them on the phone so it's not that bad... I have other devices for music/video.

And now back to your regular GALAXY NEXUS programming........

I won't buy a Google tablet till it comes in 64g ;/ I use 56 GB (music not included thats 42 GB) on my iPad 3... I hope googles 10 inch tablet would let me make the jump to pure android across my devices

16gb Verizon Galaxy nexus?

http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/...etail&selectedPhoneId=5989&deviceCategoryId=1
I was browsing verizons website and came across this. I also cannot find the 32gb model on their website anymore. Just thought I'd point this out as its quite weird they would change this so late in the product lifecycle. Perhaps this indicates that Verizon plans on carrying the new nexus.

Probably a mistake.

Yea probably a mistake. I can't see them halving the memory almost a year later.
I remember Verizons site had several mistakes before. Its amazing how anyone sells technology these days. Back in my day, displays were all technical and legendary. Now your lucky to get any good accurate information.

Eh, give me a minute. I will confirm it with a store manager myself.
Edit:
Just talked with him over Gtalk.
No change was announced from 32GB to 16GB.
He did say that the Razr saw some SD card size changes though.

I've noticed this too. However, on Amazon Wireless, the Verizon Galaxy Nexus is still listed as 32GB. (Links disabled due to my post count, sorry.)
Just last week it was listed as 32GB on VZW.

Looks like the below is 32GB, while it is pre-owned I've had good experiences with vzw pre-owned devices. Tough to beat the price:

I just bought my Galaxy Nexus from BestBuy about 3 days ago. I thought it was a 16GB version, like they all are. Apparently, it's 32GB... brand new. The guy looked at me as if I should have known that, since I was surprised I was getting twice the SD Space for the same price.
Not sure if I got lucky or what... but it's a brand new and 32GB.

There are 2 listings on Verizon - a 16gb with a full retail price of $499 and a CLNR 32GB for $229 no contract or free on contract. If it's a mistake, it's a pretty big one on Verizon's part.

I am personally waiting. The only place the s2 could be better is screen resolution. At this point sprints wimax and lte aren't that different. But if I were to buy now it would be a note 2 (not on Sprint, so sick of network issues). Everyone says nexus, but what good are os upgrades of the battery doesn't let you use all the cool features. The note will battery will last all day and into the next on heavy usage. Plus being able to jot down a phone number or address while on the phone without looking for a paper comes in handy.

Current Est. NV upgrades in CA to my knowledge
San Francisco Bay Market -- ~44%
South Bay Market -- ~15%
LA Metro Market -- ~32%
Orange county -- 9%
San Diego -- 15%
North LA -- 16%
UCV -- ~ 0%
LCV -- ~0%
All markets except the Upper Central Valley market and Low Central Valley market has begun with those two remaining ones to begin in the coming months.

The note2 looks almost comical, until you get a chance to use it. It is just awesome at making the giant screen seem practical. It is also very fast, with great battery. The only thing preventing me from buying one, is that I want to see if the other OEMs can make an even better experience on a 5.5" screen (though, I dont see how).
