So far I've only been hearing about the 16GB unlocked version, or vague rumors about the 32GB Verizon LTE version.. but absolutely nothing on the 32GB unlocked one! Not even rumors or questions, I find that pretty strange. For a phone that takes videos in 1080p and is expected to hold 720p movies for playing, 13GB is very limited.. I need the 32GB Nexus NAO!!!
Theres no new info on the GSM 32gb model. People are still waiting (semi) patiently.
I was going to wait for that too until I decided that the risk of it never being released at all was too high.

There's no evidence that a 32GB GSM model even exists.

That would make no sense from Google/Samsung.. why alienate all non-verizon and international customers from 32GB goodness?
That and the official Google page lists the SGN as 32GB with no mention of 16GB http://www.google.com/nexus/#/tech-specs

That page also doesn't make any mention of a GSM model.
Thats the LTE version.
Google UK only lists a 16GB and Samsung Nordic stated they wont bring out a 32GB version in scandinavia.
Sounds to me they wont make a 32GB GSM version at all.

Damn.. missed that! I'm so depressed
No.
It is my idea...in Italy LTE is expected in 2012, the same will be in other european countries. I think Google and Samsung are marketing the 16Gb GSM now and they will upgrade it with a 32Gb LTE model once LTE is available in our countries.
What do you think? Are you going to wait?
typical marketing strategy, sell out the low end stuff first, then push out a slightly better version as an "upgrade"
My theory is that Samsung has no intention to make a 32GB Galaxy Nexus of any kind. All they wanted to do is make a 16GB version. However, Verizon will not sell a 16GB Galaxy Nexus, because all their high-end LTE phones come with at least 32GB of memory (whether built-in or through a combination of build-in memory and microSD in-box). So if the Verizon Galaxy Nexus only has 16GB build-in memory and no microSD expansion, Verizon will be forced to sell it for cheaper than all their other high-end LTE phones, because otherwise customers might look at how it has half the memory of other phones at the same price point and not choose it. So in order for Verizon to sell the Galaxy Nexus at $299/$649 like their other high end LTE phones, they had to get a 32GB version. So Samsung made a 32GB CDMA/LTE version at Verizon's behest. But they have no reason to make a 32GB GSM version.
that's a sound theory, it makes sense from the marketing point of view
How much space are 1080p recorded videos alone going to take? Not counting all the HD content you would want to watch on that nice 720p screen, this is going to make for a seriously limited experience. This means for average sized high def movies (3-4 GB) you'd be able to carry around a whopping 2 to 3 movies!
And by the time an "upgraded" version comes in the form of a 32GB GSM Nexus, it will already be time for the SGS3. I just don't understand why Google would shoot themselves in the foot like that.
edit: nevermind, miss read
That's a deal breaker for me . I was really looking forward to this phone. But only 16GB? WTF? With music, videos, navigation maps, etc. that's not enough space for me.
I 've seen the 32GB version listed in a Greek website many days ago ( link ) , priced only 50 euros more than the 16gb one. If thats the case, no doubt i 'll be getting the 32gb one.
I was really wondering how they managed to get that device, since i haven't seen it listed, or priced, at other online stores. Anyway, i 'll call them and see what they have to say.
Edit: Mumbo Jumbo Gibberish. They told me to call them back in 10 days (thats when they say they will get the phone) if i wanted more info.

They also have it listed on Expansys, I'm not sure if that means they're expecting it or if some kind of marketing ploy..
It doesn't mean anything, except that Expansys want to secure preorders and have marketing hype. Clove have already confirmed there won't be a 32GB version but Clove have been wrong about things before...
That's the rumor going around...

Hopefully they're wrong, otherwise I'll be sticking with my Note. No microsd and no 32gb model? C'mon, Samsung... You can do better.

My next phone will be a Galaxy Nexus...but I'd really like to get the 32GB GSM version rather than the 16GB version Google sells. I'm looking to jumping off my contract at Sprint and going prepaid only. Having that extra space will reduce the amount of data I have to use...so it would be helpful.
So as far as I can tell Verizon and Sprint arranged to nix the 32GB version (my theory) of the GSM GNex...so Google is only selling 16GB GSM Gnex's in the US (or will be selling once they change it to accommodate the injunction).
Google gave away 32GB GSM phones at Google I/O this year...so clearly they are being made. Saw one being sold on eBay a couple days ago.
I've found some references to them being sold overseas. Is that the only way to get a 32GB version for someone in the US...to import one? If so, then does anyone have a recommendation on who to import one from?
Also are there any issues with using an international gsm version in the US?
I appreciate any help you can provide with this.
They aren't currently in production, Google had them ordered from a while ago. Probably from the '11 holidays when they gave them to staff.
eBay would be the best bet in my opinion, but just know you will be paying a lot more for only 16GB extra, and because they are just so hard to find.
As far as I know a GSM phone is a GSM phone, you have the choice of AT&T or T-Mobile for towers and it should work just fine.
Hope this helps!
Crap...I figured it was just a US thing...with the typical Carrier antics that go on here. So it's not even available overseas? Sprint and Verizon are the only carriers that have 32GB versions? GSM gets screwed?
I don't mind paying a bit more to get the 32GB version...the google i/o one I saw on eBay went for just over $400 in the auction (yeah that kind of surprised me...expected at least $500 or $600). So I guess I just need to keep an eye out and hope I get lucky.
A friend of mine is going to the UK tomorrow and I wanna know if it's available there and what is the price, thanks.
Not available yet - there's some talk it MAY be out on the 15th of October

I want to root my device so the Korean versions are good right?
Also I'd like the 6GB of RAM, but don't really need 256GB storage. The seller says 6GB of RAM but I've never seen a model with 6GB of ram +64GB storage so do you think this is a mistake? If I can save $100 there it would be good
Also, does anyone know how to obtain eBay coupons? Seen people mention them but haven't found one myself..
Thanks!
If you check the Samsung's Korea website
https://www.samsung.com/sec/event/galaxytabs4_launching/
You can see the 64G LTE version with 6GB memory. And at there site, I believe there are some discount or free gift, but I don't understand Korea language, so can't tell the detail.
