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.
Except the cases whčn i need to film a lot (vacation).

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 really love how I just bought this phone brand new in box off contract from Google for $399

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.

Galaxy Nexus, RIP - Nexus 4: $299 UNLOCKED!

Nexus 4 was just announced at $299 unlocked! Bad news for Galaxy Nexus, good news for us!

It always sucks that Google doesn't release a CDMA version as well on their site. Verizon is starting to bug the puss out of me with their network pricing and lack of phones.
Its ball about the contract I suppose.

Even if they did (which they won't) you'd still need to get the ESN recognized by your carrier (which they won't).

Well $299 for 8GB... I thought we were past 8GB, it's 2012. Ah well, I suppose it keeps prices low.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

8gb ? Yeah its low and the memory is just about 5.25gb after OS. 16gb should be min if no card slot.
Hell maybe its time to bounce Verizon!

Price's low? A 16GB microSD is about $15... 32GB is about $25. I find it ridiculous that they only give is 8GB... I mean come on... my toaster could hold more than that... (my Droid X2, a few years old phone is 8GB... and at least has a external SD slot)

This!

[Q] Please answer this hypothetical question for me (upgrade related)

- You want to upgrade from Xperia Play to a faster phone.
- You DON'T MIND that it will be touch screen-only.
- It must be an Android phone.
- You don't want to pay much so you're OK with let's say a dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM
- Compatibility is important, so you want most of your current Android apps (that work on XPlay) to be compatible with your new phone.
- Should have a decent camera, at least 8Mpx - but this is not SO important.
- "Sony Xperia" line is EXCLUDED (I had some bad xperience with Xperia P)
Which current phone would you choose?

Depends by what you mean by not paying much. The Nexus 4 is relatively cheap isn't it? Taking into account it's specs, it's quite a bargain.

I would agree with you on that.. you want great specs at a good price, Nexus 4 is the way to go.

Galaxy Nexus or Motorola Razr MAXX or LG Nexus

Im in the same position as you i hate it when I see either or on an android device. Hopefully Samsung would release sg4 with microsd and 32gb of internal storage.

Get a Galaxy Nexus or LG Nexus 4. (This is my answer to every question about which Android phone to get.)

No that didnt answer my question. I want both a micro sd slot and 32gb of internal storage.

Actually I was suggesting the OP.
In your case, beside 32GB S3, the Sony ZL looks compelling, 16 internal but you can use 64 sd. http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_zl-5203.php

Go for the HTC Sensation

Samsung started dishing out s3s with 32gb internal storage option. Hopefully it will come to the states. I have 3 reasons to go with Samsung removable battery (expandable/upgradable), alot of internal storage (32gb), and a removable sd slot. Now thats a beastly phone.

Lol mine too

If you had an upgrade?

I am up for an upgrade but was wondering if upgrading now to a S4 from my Verizon gnex is worth it. Can only order 32gb online and best buy most likely will not carry it. Which is where my problems start because I have a $140 trade in there but don't know about a 16gb non nexus device. My trade value is good till December 21. Nexus devices are only available unlocked which means switching carrier if wait for nexus 5. So what would you do. Open to any suggestions. Thanks.

Well if storage space is your only concern, the S4 does have an expandable memory card slot.
