I tried to see if this was asked already. Mods, please delete if so.
After reading/watching The Verge review, it is mentioned that the HSPA+ version will only come in a 16GB option. Does anyone know if this is true? I'm sure, like me, a lot of people here were planning to get a 32GB HSPA+ version. Thanks.
i'll only get the 32GB version, there's no point getting the 16GB version
and yes we need GSM HSPA+ for Tmo/ATT

i think The Verge may be getting confused...since the UK is the only place that has the phone at the moment, and it's already been confirmed that the UK is only getting the 16GB version, they may be taking that as being a blanket designation for all the HSPA+ handsets.
The japanese NTT Docomo advert quite clearly states that it is available in 16GB & 32GB capacities.
We really don't know right now. Indicators are that the UK HSPA+ version is 16 and the US LTE version is 32, but that's just because we really don't know too much more than that right now...
And that is a big reason why the launch of this reeks. No details.
I invented cyberspace. You're trespassing.

Yup, I agree. This is getting really annoying.
the *****ing and moaning would be a lot more tolerable if say google said something like the unlocked gsm/hspa+ version would be available unlocked in the usa like january 3 or something. something to look forward to at least. we'd still whine 'why the hell give verizon exclusivity?' and such but again at least we'd have something to look forward to.

Just looked on google.com/nexus... I am disappointed.
When you select United States at the bottom and go to the tech specs, under data it says CDMA/LTE; however, when you select United Kingdom, under data it says 3G/EDGE/GPRS.
I'm beginning to think that in the US there will be only a LTE/Verizon nexus
i think the only 32gb nexus will be the thicker verizon unit... i could be wrong. but if you have seen any other evidence of a gsm 32gb variant ..please point it out. i have seen nothing

Samsung on FB said the UK will only get the 16GB "initially" .. meaning there is a 32GB GSM, it just won't hit until...Dec/Jan? My guess is around the time (or exactly when) the GSM Nexus comes to the US.

It wasn't an interpretation Samsung literally used the word "initially" in their reply on Facebook.
Im holidaying in the US of A near the end of December, will it be possible for me to buy a 32gig 3g/gsm/hsdpa etc etc model of the Galaxy Nexus unlocked anywhere??? Its either I wait to get it when im there or I can just buy a Galaxy Note model now..
This is a bit ridiculous of google having all this advertising, pretty looking girls smiling into the camera using the phone etc and having absolutely no info on where/when/what (32gig GSM or only 16g??)
Dont advertise until ALL the details are available, it just pisses off people who want one!
(and why must Samsung always leave out one bit from each phone, no galaxy notes with nfc available yet? and nexus with no sdcard if the note had nfc/ics i'd get it now instead of the nexus)
Interesting to see that the UK Galaxy nexus page shows tech specs of 32 gb.
As long a 32 gb hspa+ is release, either in UK or US, i don't care. The phone is pentaband.....

There is no indication whatsoever that Google will sell an unlocked GSM version in the US. The only info we have now is the CDMA/LTE Verizon version for the states.

It did -- then it said 32GB yesterday, and it's back to 16GB today. This is dizzying! And maddening for those of us with our hearts set on a 32GB HSPA+ Galaxy Nexus.

I need a GSM 32GB...
I don't want to get it months later though
Handtec has a listing for the 32GB GSM model, and predicts an after New Years launch. When asked if they know for sure, they said Samsung hasn't told them anything
best guess it'll be sometimes in March 2012 before you see it's appearance for the 32GB GSM version
Okay so I could not take the pain anymore...

Nice! I'm a big fan of newegg.
If I needed the GSM version I'd order it from there
The description lists LTE, but also says a 1750 battery and 16MB memory, so it is not an LTE. Besides, there are many indicators in these forums that the LTE won't be available until early next year. So buyer beware.
I would like to order this right away, but I should wait for the Canadian version with microSD slot instead. Tempting though.

What? Canadian version has microSD slot? Is this true? Does it mean that Canadian Version have Massive Storage mode when connected to PC?
That price is too high, lmao with the price being 1k before...yeah right.

No I'm pretty sure it was just a typo. If you went to Samsung's Canadian site it listed it as having removable storage but by the time i looked it had been fixed.

Probably not for some time... we have no indication that there is a GSM/LTE model.
I live in CA. So considering tax, expansys-usa is still a better option.

the websites is wrong there's no sd
Why are you guys going crazy for this when there are other reputable retailers who have it available, and for less?
When i bought my contract and phone the description clearly says that the one x has 32gb internal space, but using androids own space meter aswell as other apps that show actual space i have a total of 12Gb. I asked tmob on twitter and they said i should have 32gb and told me to go into one of their stores if i have a concern, but as i live an hour and a half away from one i don't really want to do that.
Do i have a duff phone or are the specs wrong for the phone ive seen?
Try factory reset.

Ive done a FC a few times since getting it, no difference.
I guess you are still on ICS. There was a bug in mass storage mode where if your unmount wasn't clean you could lose exactly 1gb of space.
It wouldn't appear as used space. It would just be gone.
Unfortunately this can happen repeatedly.
At one point i had lost 7gbs of my internal storage.
The easiest solution for me was to backup the sdcard partition then reformat it.
Then the space comes back

Its been 12gb since i got the phone, before root etc.

The box does say 16gb on it, but the tmob store says 32gb when i ordered it and they confirmed it was 32gb from my order.

I think you should indeed, it sounds like you have been a victim of mis-selling to me. Do you have paperwork that specifically states 32GB then? They don't have a leg to stand on...

http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/shop/pay-as-you-go/htc-one-x-payg/
Think they misled you there...On the website, they only provide the 16GB version on both Contract, and PAYG. So this is most likely the same, if you got it from a T-mobile store.
If from a Non-Network specific store e.g. Phones4U or CarPhone Warehouse...You'd have most definately got a 32GB One X on the T-Mobile network.
I got it as a contract upgrade through tmobiles website, it definitely said 32Gb as i knew i would need that much and would not have had the 16gb knowingly.
Annoyingly the order confirmation and despatch notice do not state anything other than the price.
The only proof really i have is that i was told on twitter by direct message that i definitely have the 32gb version.
They have only changed the website to say "one x 16gb" recently, before it only said "one x" with 32gb internal space.

Yeh i have, ive got a couple of market apps to see actual total space but they all say 12gb (with 8Gb used total by me/system).
Tmobile said i should go in store to talk to an adviser, very unhelpful. I have a feeling they are going to try to rip me off.
So, I recently bought a pair of these for the wife and kid.
I purchased what was listed as 32GB Unlocked for $199 from big A.
Today what arrived in the mail was a pair of 64GB phones running 3.6.8 (the unlocked OS version).
Has this happened to anyone else?
Is it possible to confirm this is unlocked?
No SIM was installed or provided (makes sense given it is supposed to be unlocked)
Battery/Storage reports:Your Files: 1.42Gb, Free 51.93 GB
That would seem to indicate it certainly is 64GB internal
I did not see any carrier branded software in the apps tray.
EDIT: Saw 2 reviews on Amazon since I posted the question about it. So it appears some orders of the US 32GB unlocked are getting 64GB unlocked versions.
Linkified the reviews as backing data (both are this past week):

Hi I also got an unlocked 64gb, the barcode on the box scans as a 32gb phone, so there must be a few rogue phones around
I was concerned that the 64GB Fire phone I received might not be unlocked, so I called Amazon. The support tech verified that I did in fact receive a 64GB version and that it is unlocked. She also said that if there's a problem using a SIM card, I could return it "as defective" within a year.
One of the big complaints about the Fire phone is its lack of the Google Play Store which severely limits the number of apps available. After reading through several of the reviews at Amazon, I found the steps one can use to sideload it. (Can't post a link yet, so look in the review entitled, "Here's how to install Google Play Store and change home screen!" by Jason Singleton.) I haven't done this yet. My fear is that a "pure" Android app may not be completely compatible with the Fire OS. There are comments in the reviews at Amazon from people who sideloaded Google Maps and report that the street names are often illegible.
If there was a 16GB Android phone with an expansion card slot and comparable camera available for the same price, I think I'd buy it instead of the Fire to avoid the app hassle. However, to get a 64GB phone plus a year of Amazon Prime, along with unlimited cloud storage and automatic backup to it for $199, well, I can put up with that issue.
Lucky you! I bought mine from swappa and knew I was getting a 32GB.. But after reading your post I slightly let myself down by checking my available storage in hopes that I would be one of the lucky ones. Hah
Would it be possible to convert the 32GB US version to the European model (as long as its not a Verizon model right)? I know its a refurb but its a decent enough price, 16GB just doesn't feel like enough even with the microSD card, but 32GB with a card would be great.

I had asked the seller whether it was previously a model with a particular carrier/network provider, but they advised that the phone is original factory unlocked. Would this be fine for conversion? Obviously assuming is is a US unlocked variant.

No, carrier bloat can be removed by just using Root Explorer app. I just converted it for the heck of it really. Makes it feel like a new phone running KitKat 4.4.3 I won't run Lollicrap.

That doesn't really tell me much. The thing is, there are 4 different American models. Do you have it now? And is it stock (no custom ROM)?
If so, go into settings > about > software information > more, and post what it says next to build number.

No, I haven't got it, was just doing some research before I did anything. As I didn't want to end up with a phone that's unusable over here in the U.K.
