Is the Sprint phone the same as the international version? - Sprint LG Optimus G

Okay, it is obvious that the At&t phone is different. I was looking at phone arena and it shows the dimensions to be exactly the same for the Sprint and International. I wasn't sure if it was correct. I only want to know for ordering accessories like cases and docks. I didn't want to order something and the volume rocker be on the wrong side(UK version..) or some other issue.
I know the hardware has a difference. That isn't what I am talking about. Thanks

I really hope google doesn't pull this exclusivity BS for too long.. I can't imagine they won't have this phone out on all carriers for the holidays but you never know what google has in there mind. I think we can all agree that google needs a better marketing strategy..

Well it would be solid proof of a Verizon version here. Weve seen those shots of the 4g Lte logo on the back before but im curious as to where the Samsung logo plays in to this on the final version.

This makes things interesting... pics of description tmrw?
of course, they could just be copying information from the Samsung or Google site right now, which of course lists that there are 2 models.... wouldn't be the first time that a big name electronics store used the wrong description for their system lol. Just something to keep in mind.
Yeah i wouldn't be surprised if it was wrong they also fail to mention ICS or how much memory is on it so i don't know.

Nice. Thanks for the pics. Very interesting it still says "LTE or HSPA+". Still sounds like a general copy/paste list of marketing speak from Samsung given to sellers. Makes me hopeful though.

Interesting that it says 8.94mm thickness, which is the correct thickness for the HSPA+ model, but according to unconfirmed reports from some Chinese sites the thickness of the LTE model should be 9.34mm. This could mean one of two things: RadioShack actually will have two models of the Galaxy Nexus, and they happen to list the HSPA+ model thickness; or like martonikaj said, just a poor copy-paste job from marketing material.

Do the international cases fit the USA version?

Hey guys,
I tried searching but didn't find exactly what I was looking for. For those that couldnt wait and ordered s3 international cases, when you received your sprint version of the phone, did anything change? How do they fit? How about the battery cover? Feedback please...My phone hasn't shown up yet and I'm stressing that I wasted money on these battery covers etc. Sorry if question seems dumb but have nothing else to do since my phone isnt here ha. Thanks

It was a valid question dude. For example the galaxy nexus on Verizon was thicker than its sim card brother. Happens quite often from international sim phones to cdma network phones.

Accidentally bought CDMA instead of GSM...

Yes I'm an idiot, I know. I bought it off eBay and realized too late.Question is, can I pay a lab to mod it for me or something? It's a Verizon. I heard it has a microSIM slot that's almost sealed shut but still existing. So it would probably just require reprogramming the frequencies. And I'll handle unscrewing the slot and inserting my SIM. Is this possible?

you cannot make a CDMA nexus work on GSM frequencies. totally different radios.
So best/only option would be to sell it and buy another?... crap...

You can always look to trade for a new one on Craigslist or similar services as well!
Thanks everyone, the seller's trying to stop the shipment, I'll talk to him about returns once the device is in either's hands... hopefully I'll get a return or find who to sell to/trade with.

Worse case scenario you can sell it. The good thing is it is a very desirable phone. The sim also is completely removable. Your thinking of the sprint version which has the weird sim situation.

The Galaxy S3 has a workaround to use GSM SIM cards, is there something similar for the Galaxy Nexus?

No. The Verizon Galaxy S3 is a world phone that also supports GSM&HSPA on top of CDMA/LTE. The Verizon Galaxy Nexus is not a world phone.

T- Mobile shows only S3 LTE Variant

I was checking out the T-Mobiles' web site and saw that there is NO other versions of the S3 only the LTE variant that just came out.
Found this interesting not sure if other knew about this or ?
I had spoken to them as I just purchased my S3 in Jan and was told I could do a trade in and $150.00 out of pocket... No thanks ....
Correct. The T999L is replacing the T999 across the board. No reason to sell the old one anymore.

No, thats not the firmware, its just how they named the Pebble Blue one on their website. Ive no idea why they did it this way, but its simply how they differentiate the different colors.
T999MBATMB = Pebble Blue
T999RWATMB = Marble White

I'm trying my luck at it now, I doubt it though - I'm sure they have tons of s3's coming back in (trade ins) or refurbs stocked and ready to go. $20 for a replacement while still in warranty, eek.

For the Galaxy S3, I believe it is 130$ with the insurance deductible off the top of my head.

Where to purchase replacement housings?

Hey all,
I've been trying to figure out where to purchase replacement housings for the Verizon HTC One. I checked amazon and eBay and even though there's a bunch of them there it doesn't day if it's compatible with the Verizon version. Even the sellers don't know.
Anyone know where I can get them?

Yeah, one would think but I'm not willing to take a $40 gamble on it. I used to do repairs on phones and like the iPhone 4 for example you have to get the specific part if it's for GSM or cdma
