I know Verizon is getting the LTE version exclusively in the US, so I won't be able to get a subsidized version from T-Mobile until 2012 from the sounds of it. However my question is the Specs seem to suggest the GSM version will work on the T-Mobile network if I can just get my hands on an unlocked GSM version. There aren't going to be multiple GSM versions like the Nexus One right? Am I correct, or am I missing something. Should I hold out until 2012 or try to find an unlocked GSM version from the UK or Canada?

Hi There,
Not sure if anyone will have an answer to this until Rogers officially releases the phone, but will a Galaxy Nexus phone bought from rogers work on Mobilicity?
I've heard that the phones selling from Bell do work on Wind/Mobilicity/other 1700(AWS) frequencies, but I'm not sure if this will be the case for Rogers.
Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks
galaxy nexus is a pentaband phone, it has both GSM and AWS bands so yeah, a Rogers version would work on mobilicity.
and since the phone is unlocked, a any carrier version of galaxy nexus should work on any carrier, except for the LTE version.
Wondering if I should get a Galaxy Nexus 4G LTE from America since I want the the 32GB storage but the GSM version does not have 32GB only 16GB.
So does the 4G Galaxy Nexus work in Australia or should I wait for the Samsung Galaxy S III - Considering the Galaxy S range is usually a major step up from the Nexus before it i.e. Nexus S to the Galaxy S II. I am strongly considering it if I can't use a 4G phone in Australia and they are not going make a GSM version with 32GB storage.
Your thoughts please...
No it doesn't.

no;
1: LTE bands may not be compatiable
2. the VZW version uses CDMA; not GSM for voice/3G
3. the LTE is for data only on the GNexus; there are currently no Voice over LTE deployed that I know of yet
Like others above me have said no it will not work in Australia or any other country outside of the USA, the LTE is CDMA only, and for Verizon USA only , it might work outside USA on roaming but that's it, even some accessories might have issues like a case because the LTE is a bit thicker due to having a larger battery for the LTE.
Hey I can potentially get a good deal on a Galaxy Nexus but it's a CDMA version of the phone. Does anyone know if it's unlocked and take T-Mobile SIM?
No, the Verizon nexus doesn't have the proper radios to support GSM on AT&T or T-Mobile. The only GSM bands it supports are its proprietary 4G LTE bands.
No.

Damn. Thanks guys.
No. Its impossible.
Hi all,
I have a US GSM Galaxy Nexus (currently in use on T-Mobile with 4G working well). Does anyone know if this will work in Canada? I've googled and gotten very mixed results from my searches. It sounds like it may be fully compatible with Wind Mobile, but I'm not sure.
Thanks in advance!

Isn't the GSM Galaxy Nexus similar to what was available from the Play Store? I believe that version will work on Rogers, Fido, Wind and Mobilicity in Canada. Not sure about Bell and Telus though.
Hope that helps.

its a gsm nexus, so yes it will work.
you clearly didnt google anything.
I thought all Galaxy Nexus phones are suppose to come unlocked?
I bought/use mines from/on mobilicity, but its works on every GSM network so far that I have tested, eg. Wind/Fido/Bell/Rogers.
It'll work. Canadian carriers (GSM) use the same exact frequencies as US carriers. I know that Rogers, Fido, and (I think) Telus are equivalent to AT&T in terms of 3G ("4G") frequencies used (850/1900 MHz), while Wind and Mobilicity are equivalent to T-Mobile's frequencies (AWS, aka the combo of 1700/2100 MHz).
It doesn't really matter what carrier you go with with the Galaxy Nexus because it supports 850/900/1700/1900/2100 MHz for 3G (aka "4G"). It's pentaband; it's made to support all carriers in North America and most of the world.

Yes, I should have clarified. I expected it to work for calling and SMS but I was specifically curious about 3g/4g.

I already answered your question above.

I Use the Gnex here on QUEBEC WITH fIDO AND IT WORKS like a charm. By the way, I'm able to use the 3G with a descent speed, not sure about the 4G.
The only difference between the international gsm Galaxy nexus and the US gsm galaxy nexus is that the US version comes with Google Wallet pre-installed. Everything else is the same.

For the [hopefully] last time, yes, it will work. They're all pentaband unless you have a CDMA model (Sprint, Verizon).

^^ That is about as good as an answer can get. I have a T-Mobile GNex that is on T-Mobile when in the U.S., Rogers when I am in Canada, and I have also used it on Vodafone in the UK with no issues at all, including data. It will work with all Canadian carriers as mentioned in the quote for phone and data.
