just curious, the bands may or may not match up with AT&T bands but the link claims 4G capable. Will it work with their 4G LTE network?

ah gotcha. a friend of mine doesnt feel like joining me on big red so he has been waiting for a lte gnex to hit another network. sprint will be the same as the fake at&t 4g or will it actually be lte when it launches on the 1st or 15th??
What a GREAT deal. This is absolutely nuts for a brand new device.

its HSPA+ only.
Got a white one!
Just took advantage of this deal. I already have a gray one bought from Negri but I'll be returning through Amex premium return to pay for this one. I'll be saving a total of $120. I really wanted a white one and saw they were offering it so I went for it. If anyone is hesitant to buy from from dailysteals.com don't be. They are a really good company to buy from. I bought a galaxy note about two weeks ago and it came brand new. They forgot to include the 8GB SD card and when I emailed them about it they just sent me one no questions ask. If your looking for a nexus this is the deal for you.
What about warranties?
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
Not really worried about warranty. If you already have a galaxy nexus or contemplating on getting a international one you already know you won't get warranty anyway. There really isn't a point to worry because no one will have it anyway. Better to just get one at this price then buying it somewhere else for $100+.
I bought one last month on eBay for $580. Well

Sprint's Galaxy Nexus will be LTE. Since Sprint's 3G network is CDMA, there's no way for them to have HSPA+ (which is GSM only). But Sprint will barely have any LTE coverage when they launch the Galaxy Nexus since they're new to the LTE game.
To all sprint users thank you for the past few years. But I have left sprint and went to Verizon. I know what some of are thinking but I really got tired of sprints **** service in my area. Talked to customer support on Tuesday and was told if I return my og Evo ( don't really know why they want that ) and my gnexus i could end my contract with no fees. So I did, went to best buy that same day picked up a gnexus for Verizon for ONE DOLLAR, AND MUST SAY IM LOVING THE LTE!!!!! To the Verizon pepes see u in the dev. Section.
Glad I got all 4 of my batteries from sprint the other day lol.

There is no comparison. Congrats.
Thinking of doing the same.
But with Sprint I got 5 smartphones with unlimited "data" for $250.
With Verizon, the cheapest is, I believe, $320 or something. I did it a few days ago.

Call 3 times in a row, each time make sure you choose end sprint service, and I bet you could leave now. Worth a shot.
I spent most of the past weekend uploading music to my play account and then it wouldn't work over sprints crappy service. That was pretty much the last draw for me. I just explained to her I could not utilize the phone with there service and something had to be done.

I had 7 months left on my contract, called them to see what the ETF would be, they said 50 bucks, cancelled that day. The ETF shrinks fast, you should check into it!
Welcome to Verizon, been with them for about ten years with no major issues other than paying an arm and a leg. Guess it's worth it for the quality of service they give.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I switched to Verizon from Sprint in February with four months left on my contract. They said the ETF would be $50, which would have been well worth it, but they never actually charged me for it. The service is far superior--I can use LTE almost anywhere as opposed to WiMAX almost nowhere and I no longer have to use Juice Defender to prevent my battery from draining like crazy due to poor signal, which allows me to use Google Voice to its full extent and save money on messaging--and it actually turns out to be cheaper for me than Sprint. The only downside is that I no longer have unlimited data, but 4GBs is more than enough, so it doesn't really matter anyway. I dislike Verizon's stance on locking the bootloaders for most of it's phones, but as long as they keep supporting Nexus devices, I'll be set. I think you made a very good choice in switching.

I agree with this. I've been on three of the four major US characters. AT&T had decent service, but horrid customer service. T-Mobile had great customer service, but horrid coverage in my area. VZW has been the best of both for me. I'd like better coverage at my workplace, but I think that our building was designed to be a Faraday cage anyway.
I've been with VZW for about 4 or 5 years now, and I pretty much hadn't needed their customer service until the last 6 months. Because of repeated issues with my Droid Charge (after owning it for 11 months), they freely replaced it with my current Nexus. My wife's Droid X recently developed problems with the screen and USB port. Today, they bumped her upgrade date up. It's was only bumped up to now from 6 weeks out, but they easily could have told her "too bad; you have to wait".
I'm not too pleased with the recent changes like the removal of unlimited data and the removal of the yearly upgrades for the primary line of a family plan, but they're still the top option for me in my area.
Yeah buddy!!! I just did same thing with mine and the wife's phones...no etf or anything..and I still had a year on contact. Was with Sprint for close to 10 years and finally got tired of the spotty coverage. No regrets at all. Limited data is better than slow data!!,

Ya, but that $70 is suddenly extremely worth it when you realize that Sprint has the worst service area in the country. They're horrible.

That works for you but like I said, there is no LTE from Sprint where I am and won't be for about another year at least. So for me and most other sprint customers there is no comparison.

My favorite one:
Me: Hi Sprint. I get 50kbps at my house and at work what's up with your network?!
Sprint: Sir, you use 1.5gb of data a month which is quite on the heavy side so I don't believe you can be finding issue with our network.
For you guys who had the 4G, you're lucky. I am only about 35 miles from NYC and I never got the 4G. I've got (3) 4G-capable phones but I never got to use 'em.
Maybe I'll get the LTE:fingers-crossed:
Sprint is still reasonably priced for me.
well I appreciate all the response i got and now I realize im not the only one suffering from poor data speeds. The salesman that sold me my GS lll told me after I purchased it that Sprints 3G is the worst of all the US carriers and im like "now you tell me" he says "dont worry youll be fine after they turn on LTE next year......

Never seen any difference whatsoever coming from an Evo. I live 5.2 miles from the nearest tower, and snag about the exact same quality signal on every device I've owned in the last 3 years.
Every location is different. Here in the Denver Boulder area, most times I get between 500 1500 kb downloads based on speedtest.
I been with sprint almost ten years and this is really breaking news to me. WOW!
Hey guys a buddy of mine sold me his note 2 from tmobile. It is unlocked and working on my att service. My question is what can i do as far as the slow download speeds? I have LTE service and yes i know its not enabled on the tmo version yet but is there any way to get better download speeds? Flash a certain rom or flash a certain modem maybe? I wish the tmo version can be turned into a att version.....
What sorts of speeds are you getting exactly?
I'm getting around 1-2 mbps... is that normal on att hspa?

I'm not sure what the rules are on self bumping questions, but you waited 24 hours, which in my opinion is fine. Again, I don't know the rule, if there is one, but by my logic your actions were fine.
I wish I could help, I have the opposite problem. I have an ATT S3 unlocked, but I'm on T-mo. I only get EDGE. I'm selling the S3 on ebay though, I'll probably grab the Note 2. Although the March 15th "launch" of the SIV may make me hold off. Or get the Note 2 and use the return period to see if the SIV launches.
afaik the stock ROM doesn't have LTE built in, even on T-mo. Doesn't T-mo use the AWS split 1700/2100 for 4G too? That'd render the frequencies available non-compatible.

For sure hook me up. It works for voice, SMS and MMS, but EDGE only data speeds, which is SLOW. Hopefully someone will buy my S3 soon. Probably buy a Note 2 full off contract price and get the SIV when it's out with an upgrade price.
