Lol don't worry about an LTE/GSM Nexus, if it actually happens it's going to come out next year at this rate. 32GB has pretty much been nixed save for Verizon's version. The leak for the Nexus in VZW tomorrow stated a WEB ONLY release, so it MIGHT still happen I guess, as December 1/8 is stating that's when they'll get it IN STORES with props and flyers, but I wouldn't hold my breath...

And then in 2013, when AT&T LTE is ready, you can use it!
When the Nexus launches on VZW I'm going to be switching from AT&T to Verizon. I've had AT&T for just about 10 years now, faithfully, but there are certain connections problems I'm just getting sick of dealing with. A few places that get no data connection at all, despite having full service and the bright H+ at the top of the phone (indicating HSPA+). I've already had 2 "4G" phones from AT&T (the Atrix 4G and now Samsung Galaxy S II) and I'm sick of dealing with dead spots.
That said, I believe it will be out on December 8th. Any sooner than that is probably just wishful thinking. If it *does* come out sooner I'll get it first day...but definitely not thinking it will.

Someone in another thread posted a link to Handtec's twitter page where they said they won't have stock until at least the 23rd, so the 21st is a definite no-go.
Why the hell they don't just put that on thier web site is baffling.

Oops. Well then, being that I was just at VZ here in the US this afternoon, and the manager squinted his eyes and said "Galaxy what?", pretty much says it all.
It's pretty large store, and they had no accessories for it either. I would say tomorrow is not going to happen.

Aye. A friend of mine from highschool (has it already been 10 years? yikes) is a regional manager at VZW and he said he still doesn't have a date, but he also said Verizon probably won't tell the employees until it's very close to release because (in his words, not mine) Verizon employees don't have a track record for keeping their lips shut. He did promise me that he doesn't know when the date is and that he would tell me when he does.

That's why I ditched At&t for T-Mobile. At home I have full bars but can't hold a call for nothing. My gf has at&t still and I can never hardly get a hold of her.
We had 4 people over once and we all had full bars but none of us could call out to order a pizza. My friends have labeled my area a cellular black hole. Most of my nieghbors have recently switched too.
T-Mobile works fine but not on the road so much. My work verizon blackberry seems to always work everywhere I go. So I'm thinking of upgrading the blackberry and get rid of my personal line on TMo.
I don't have extra money till Friday so doesn't matter to me. I'm gonna wait it out for a few after release to allow others to figure it out. I want to make sure its gonna suffice. I'm kinda leery of dopey relying on Verizon cause I tether my Asus Transformer when I travel and like to play with it alot.
LTE doesn't bother me. Ill just disable it most of the time to save battery. 3G is fast enough for me for day to day stuff.
G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV
Just pre-ordered the white Lumia 900 from Negri Electronics! W00t!
lucky you, i will use my att upgrade to get one
Same here. It was crazy spontaneous, but I am in LOVE with the hardware, and have wanted a white phone (but not an iPhone) forever, LOL. I've been only iphone (couple years ago), and since then only android. Not sure I'm ready for the WP7 switch, but willing to give it a go!
Do you guys think these will be LTE capable? It says so on the Negri Electronics order page, BUT I'm reading articles that say it's the international white version that won't be LTE capable...
http://www.electronista.com/articles/12/02/15/phone.most.likely.3g.vbut.not.lte.4g.capable/
Interesting. Personally, I don't live in an LTE area, so it won't bother me if it is only HSPA. I'm hoping the white lumia is released earlier than the locked ATT version.

Well, now that LTE is available in STL, I'm going to wait for the Cyan AT&T version. HURRY UP!
I'm also considering the white lumia 900. I have the Titan now but the locked internet sharing by ATT is pissing me off (especially since I'm using it unlocked on a Canadian carrier) and the fact I have one of the early models with defective ram is enough for me to want to switch phones.
BUT I will miss the bigger screen size, loud speaker and HTC apps.. Also interested in comparing the LTE speeds to 4G. I've heard that the external speaker on the lumia 800 sucks. As well I heard the battery life is significantly worse than the Titan. I'm curious if these "cons" will be translated over to the lumia 900 as well.. These are all possible deal breakers for me.
Can anyone confirm that when the unlocked model does become available if this model will support the ATT bands 100%? I really need the unlocked tethering this time around.
I pre-ordered it the first day of availability from the MS Store in Costa Mesa. They seemed to know all about it, and said yes it would be 4G/LTE on att. Can't wait to get my hands on it, but why wait so long after CES to release? Especially when you lose all the positive press and with the Ipad3 release comming the same time. I would have thought they would have released it quickly.

I'm just as anxious as you to get it. My guess is they will announce the date come MWC next week, which should get quite a bit of press. Hopefully the date will be sometime early march!
I was never this excited about the Iphone. I used to have a HTC 3125 that was windows based, and I really loved using it. I don't mind the Iphone, and I love the fact that just works, but I have had to fix it 3 times, (broken screen, water damage, etc) and now to upgrade to a 4S or 5 and have to pay 400+ dollars, thats too much for a phone. If the rumours are true and the 900 comes in at $100 bucks, I'm thinking this could spell a lot of trouble for Android phones.
I also saw a rumour that Instagram may have the an WP7 app before they get an android app out. Give me that and a Pandora App, and Words with Friends, and I would be completely happy.
This is the WP7 device I'm interested in. I've been interested in it ever since they made it official. Nokia makes the best hardware IMO, and their reception and call quality is top notch.

AT&T has a habit of releasing new phones on Sundays, so April 8th part of the rumor lines up nicely.
AT&T's releases though are usually on the 1st and 3rd Sundays according to the manager of my local corporate store. I still have my fingers crossed for March 18th if we could get that lucky.

Well, 18th is a third Sunday of the month so maybe we will see it even sooner then rumored April 8th date.
I get an upgrade at the beginning of next month. Should I get the GNex or hold out till the new nexus comes out? I know it hasn't been deemed official but google has been consistent. I'm on verizon so I don't get the unlocked goodness of the straight from google version. My other option is to get the S III but with a locked bootloader means a no go for me. I'd have to wait till december to switch carriers.

Either get the current nexus or wait till December.
My advice would be to wait until you can switch carriers in December. Get an off contract account and buy an unlocked nexus at that time.

In my area I only get to choose AT&T as far as carriers go and I don't really like them. T-mobile has very little coverage and the small regional providers all are buddied up with verizon.
Here's another question, does phone hardware really matter right now? I know the nexus is a little slower compared to the tegra 3 beasts but does it affect anyone at all? I used a droid incredible for 16 months mostly on cm7 and it never showed its age until apps got "prettier"...
Wait, you think Verizon is getting another Nexus?
lmfao.
Just get the Verizon one if you're planning on staying with them.

If your eligible and don't want a locked s3 or a so called "non official nexus" then maybe switch providers. I dunno how early this upgrade is so there could be fees. If you want an s3 then switch as the bootloader issue might hurt you in the end. Or just run out your agreement and get a gsm nexus straight up as was mentioned already. That's how I got mine

Nope. Although it'd be stupid for google not to release one on the US largest provider. Just the fact that Verizon and Sprint can't do unlocked phones and even though I could care less about 4g (I dont have it) its still an option. I'm just looking for advice on wether to upgrade to a 8 month old device or wait till samsung drop's their developer edition of the SGSIII
If I were you I would wait. There's already a workaround for the locked bootloader on the GS3 if you want it, but in the smartphone game, it's always best to wait and see. I wouldn't advise you to get the VZW Nexus when there could be several more updated options (MOAR NEXUSESSS) available toward the end of the year (if the rumors are true). And if not, the GS3 and GN will still be there for you but at cheaper prices.
In the smartphone games "waiting and seeing" is dumb, there's always going to be something better around the corner. Just get what you like at the time.
As for the nexus being 8 months old, I'd say it'll still be relevant for quite some time. I have yet to find any apps that it can't run flawlessly.

The unlocked GSM Nexus sells for $350. The Nexus 7 sells for $200 and $250. Do you really think Google is trying to profit off of hardware? That is not how Google makes their money. The could care less if you have a Nexus...as long as you are using google apps and search, they get paid.

I'm in the same boat as you but I'm already eligible for an upgrade and my contract with sprint ends in 2 months. I pretty much spent a whole day on here reading after purchasing the Nexus from best buy.com and ultimately decided to cancel my order. The Sprint GNex is getting the shaft because they won't be releasing source code and the only way to get updates is to either flash a port or wait for the OTA. And we all know how timely those OTA's roll out from Sprint. The dev's do an amazing job with what they are given but I need a stable/working phone and running leaks/ports isn't for me anymore.
I read through a lot of the ACS JB thread and it seems like lot of people are having issues with MMS right now.

I'm dumping sprint after my contract ends. I'm tired of paying about the same as everyone else but having the crappiest carrier/speeds. It's pretty sad when I'm getting .01Mb/s down AND up.
I plan on picking up the unlocked Nexus ($350) from the google play store and going with TMo. They currently have a pre-paid plan for $30 a month, no contract, 100 minutes, and unlimited text and data.
I don't ever talk on the phone so I don't care about the minutes. They do throttle after 5gb but I get the impression that sprint does the same thing if you are a heavy user, but that's just my theory.
Thanks for the info for those who offered it. Verizon may be exspensive and hardasses but its my best choice. As for my phone, if the SIII dev edition comes to existance I'll probably get that but the VZW gnex seems to be very limited when it comes to veriozn's habits...

At least the Verizon GNex got put back in the AOSP tree and source and binaries got dropped well before OTA.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/drivers
So at least that means there will be more stable ROM's and possibilities since the Dev's can build directly from source and don't have to port.
If you are grandfathered in on Verizon's data plan then you may as well stay with them. Have they started enforcing the policy that you lose your grandfathered plan once you upgrade?
Since the Motorola Mobility merger is now completed (on paper) I can see the next Nexus device beeing a Motorola one which could take a while to happen. Since the GNex will probably at least even get the next Android after JB you're pretty much set with it, so get it!
So, I am currently in the market for a new phone because I am sick of how HTC treats their customers. I was wondering if you guys thought jumping on the Galaxy Nexus would still be a good idea even though the Sg3 is out.
The Sg3 looks amazing, but it is kind of out of my price range with the average price being $400. I have found a few Nexus' anywhere from $200-250 which is more my style. The thing that worries me though is that it is already close to a year old and I know the minute I purchase one the next greatest phone will be out.
Does anyone know when the next Nexus phone will be out? I am due for an upgrade around March, but would really like to jump to a 4g phone before then.
What do you guys think? Stay with the inc2, grab a Nexus, or just wait until I can get something with my upgrade?
Any ideas?
I've had an upgrade since July I was going to get the sg3 but when I found out it was dual core it turned me off BC I was stoked for quad. Then I was going to get the inc4g, but I hate sense and I'm tired of HTC. I was close to getting the gnex on Saturday for $50 from best buy, but like you said its already a year old plus the 5mp camera is kinda iffy for me especially since the og Inc had an 8mp back in 2010! I'm going to wait for the galaxy note 2 coming out soon 1.6 quad core 2gigs ram super HD amoled running JB
I was considering a SG3 as well, or the GNEX, but I am currently satisfied with the Inc2 at the moment and will way my options when I am ready for a new device. I am curious if anyone has tested out any of these phones and had any opinions as well. I have not "upgraded" since they got away from unlimited data, so I am still grandfathered in and not sure if I will sign a new contract or just purchase the phone. The 4g is not a big issue with me as Big Red has not brought it to our area yet, and probably wont see it anytime soon.
Maybe I will wait for the Note 2 as well. My friend has the SG3 and the screen on it is beautiful. The one thing about the Note which I am unsure about is the stylus. I don't know how I feel about that. It's not like that is a big deal breaker for me, just something I'm unsure about. I have had 4g in my area since it has been released, for the most part, so I def want to go 4g. I am worried I will lose my unlimited, which is why I was starting to look for 4g now.
Samsung does make a great looking phone though. Colors are so vibrant on them. When the Note 2 comes out, is it supposed to be better than SG3 or is that phone still going to be considered the best?

It's not HTC's fault. They already gave the OTA to vzw a while ago. It's big red's fault for not releasing the goddamn update already because they need to bloat the **** out of it before they can be satisfied.
Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So, we'll hunt him, because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian. A watchful protector. A Dark Knight.

The stylus to me is just an accessory. You can function the phone without it. If I use my upgrade I will lose unlimited, but I'm only using 1.3 gigs a month. Not to mention my $200 phone bill and 2 unused phone lines. So upgrading will cancel unlimited data but I'll be saving $100+ dollars a month with my military discount. There's no real reason to use 4gig+ of data so I wouldn't worry about losing unlimited. Unlimited data users probably are getting throttled anyway. The note 2 is going to be a supercharged s3. Check out the specs on both http://www.autoomobile.com/news/samsung-galaxy-note-2-vs-s3-4/1003595/
My only problem is whether to stay on Verizon or not. The Verizon version of the note2 is going to have the Verizon brand on the home button! I can't believe that. I'm super satisfied with my inc2 only BC I rooted. But the lack of ota is troubling. This phone isn't that old

Do you know of a way to check the actual data usage without calling up Verizon? I also just did watch a few videos of the Note 2 being used and all I can say is WOW. This phone looks like it is going to be a pure beast. Also, you are right about the stylus being an accessory. After watching this video with it in use, I think I completely changed my opinion on it.
This is the video I just watched:

I only have 2 options for cellular service, Verizon or Cell One because I live in a small town. I have been with Verizon since probably 2004, switching from Sprint when I lived in Atlanta GA. I have never had an issue with them as far as service quality, prices are a bit high but I will pay for them as long as I have good service. As for the Inc 2 I will probably use it for another year or so before I consider switching, unless something happens to it before then. I have only been using mine for about 3 months or so and paid $75 for it from an acquaintance of mine that upgraded to the RazrMaxx.

I have only been using mine for about 3 months or so and paid $75 for it from an acquaintance of mine that upgraded to the RazrMaxx.

I am from New Jersey love the service I get from Verizon. I have yet to go someplace that doesn't give me great service (unless I'm in a basement with no windows or something similar). As for other services, I have just about everything you can find in my area and from having friends I pretty much see everyone leave all other to come to Verizon. AT&T is the only one that can compete with Verizon in my area, but the only people I know that have that service is the Iphone users. For $75 you can't go wrong with this phone. It is def a great phone and aside from the lack of updates and no 4g that is my only complaint.
Nitsua, you say Big Red has the OTA and I have heard that before also, but how true is it? Is Verizon keeping the OTA secret because they are bloating it up or do they actually not have it? We may never know the truth until it is either released or they come out and say that the OTA will not be coming. Of course, I hope it comes, but I feel myself slowly getting sick and tired of the wait, especially since they promised up end of Aug. and now we are a week from October.
Yes, They have been late on phones before, but from my research, this is the longest they have gone after missing a date which really angers me towards both HTC and Verizon.

Verizon has it. How else would you guys have your ics leak . They have to perfect it though and make sure that there are no bugs. Also since it's an older device that not many people have, they are setting their focus on other phones.

I'm not too bothered by not getting the ICS OTA honestly. There are plenty of ICS ROMs that are functional enough for me to use. I'll just stick it out until I can upgrade in July, 2013 and either upgrade or switch carriers. Who knows what phones will be out by then?

Play store has a VZW app for usage.
I have a droid bionic just sittin here. I may use that, but with that remote phone wipe hack I may just forget about it.The hack doesn't seem to affect the INC2.
my upgrade isn't till may. Depending on the inc4g, i will purchase it if its s-off. Otherwise, I think i'll be getting the SGSIII. My next phone has to be unlocked someway.
I'm really diggin the xperia phones. And it looks like most of them are getting ics in the next couple weeks. The ion is free on the us sony site.
Depends what's out by August 2013

I am just curious how AT&T has handled new releases of phones in the past (big announcements like the S3, iPhone, etc.)
Did they announce well in advance, the day before, or what??
Do they have ample supplies of the new phone in their stores on release day (obviously the iPhone is an exception, but what about a phone like this).
I am on Sprint now and want to get on AT&T BADLY, so I am hoping that I am not going to have to wait long amounts of time.
EDIT
AT&T will be Nov 9th, $300 on contract. Source:

Nobody really knows. Rumor was Oct 24, but given the proximity of today to the 24th with no word at all, I'm betting sometime in November, sadly...they are quite mum on details...

Eric, thanks but this doesn't really answer my question.
I am curious how they have handled big new releases IN THE PAST, to understand what to expect here.
Given the mess that AT&T made with the SGS3 launch, no one has any idea. In that particular case, they never OFFICIALLY announced a launch date, and then kept unofficially pushing back the date that they never actually announced.
People who made pre-orders for the phone 3 weeks before the unofficial launch date got their phones a couple days after they were originally promised (and in at least one case I know of - it was a full 2 weeks after.)
Actual AT&T corporate stores were kept completely in the dark with no official announcements, and lots of unofficial rumors.
Perhaps, becaue of that disaster, they will keep completely silent on the issue until they are ready to actually hand the phones to customers.
I'd bet that you'll be able to get one before Thanksgiving (2013.)

Thanks Gary. I was unaware of all the mess with the S3 (mainly I guess because I am not an AT&T customer YET).
Sigh... I guess I need to stop obsessing and stop checking for an announcement every day from AT&T. Although I doubt that will happen. :/
I will look to next Wednesday to see what Samsung and/or AT&T possibly announce.

I've been doing the same thing man lol. The Sprint announcement gave me some hope but at this point we're so close to the 24th that we'll find out in just 6 days anyway.
I've been waiting so long that I feel like my honeymoon period with the phone is already over. But I am sure that feeling will change once I have the device in my hand and I move away from this super annoying and tiny iphone 4s screen.
I spoke with our Samsung rep today sprint and T-Mobile will get it the 24th and Verizon and art will get it around the second week of november

That's not right, Sprint has already 100% officially announced it for the 25th. This thread here seems to indicate that it might not even be available to pick up at Sprint on 10/25, only able to order: http://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/101166?start=15&tstart=0
T-mobile has not announced an official release date, but it certainly won't be on the 24th because Samsung's event is at 7pm on the 24th to officially launch the phone in the US.

I pre ordered the SGS III on ATT and received it on the date I was promised, June 21. It was not as smooth as they wanted granted, but the expectations of people were way out of control in my opinion. There may have been some issues outside of their control, but they did not communicate with their customers like they should have. I doubt the Note 2 will have that type of demand. I expect an announcement fairly soon with pre ordering and or shipping to begin soon thereafter.

You got the phone on June 21st, but do you remember how soon before that they announced the pre-order?
Just wondering was it AT&Ts fault for the delays or outside of their control? I'm an AT&T customer and always have preordered my iPhones at 2am(central time) when preorders start and I have always received my phone when they said it would arrive.... Going on 5 different launch day orders with no issues.
when pre-ordering through the att website...are there any issues with keeping a grandfathered unlimited data plan (to be bumped up to lte unlimited)?
in the past, i'd just walk into an att store on launch day...just to make sure i wouldn't lose unlimited due to some automatic computer script...
Would like to know about pre ordering also online, though through Verizon. Have unlimited data and will be paying full price. This do able ordering online, without losing unlimited?

when you say MY STORE, are you an AT&T store, and does that mean you will be selling them on 25th?

Yeah, very unclear.
I called my corporate AT&T store last week, they had no clue on the Note 2 release details. None that they were sharing anyway.
Just called my corporate store again. No date known according to them.
