Just buy the normal Gnex and unlock the bootloader it with ADB (many guides on this) and than flash CWM and a custom ROM.. If you are in the state and want carrier unlock than buy it online or purchase an SIM unlock code for it.
There is no need to hunt down an engineering phone. The nexus was made to be a "dev" phone so you can easily root/mod it.

The only reason to get an Engineering device would be that it potentially could have access to early versions of software updates. My opinion would be though, if you have to ask what is different about it, you should probably just buy a normal version of the device as it would be less likely that you'll ruin the phone.

As I had indicated in the linked thread quoted by Pechkin000, if the engineering bootloader on the Galaxy Nexus is similar to the engineering bootloader on the Nexus One, you have access to many more fastboot commands (although most of them would not be useful to the non-technical user). I would love to have access to an engineering bootloader.

How to check whether phone is used or new

I am on the lookout for a Galaxy Nexus in Mumbai, India. I want to make sure that I get my money's worth when buying the phone i.e I don't want to get ripped off by the seller.
Can you please tell me how I can know if a phone is new or used previously.
I already read but people in the comments have reported that they don't always work:

http://www.groovypost.com/howto/howto/access-hidden-menu-android-phone/

I know. That's why I posted this thread - to see if someone else would have a answer.

There's very little you can do to check if it's new or not other than call Samsung and see if someone has registered the unit with them for some reason or another. Although the seals on the box being broken would be a massive give away

Oh trust me, the seal is not really the most trustworthy sign.

No, but if it's broken the phone isn't new is it?

When i got my nexus in the mail my buddy took it out of the box and put his phone in to play a joke on me and didn't even break the seal. I asked him how he did it and he said he didn't even realize he had done that. So no the seal is no indicator at all lol.

I find it hard to believe you can undo the seal without damaging it, I had to proper rip mine to get into the box. Perhaps the EU ones are more secure!!
Either way, unless you're getting it from an official dealer it's hard to say whether it's 100% new or not

[Q] 10% Lower touch screen not responding

Hi All,
Have been having issues with my sisters HOX, the bottom 10% of the screen won't respond and Im stuck as to what it could be apart from a hardware fault.
Hboot 1.39
Rooted
Have tried hard reset, restored nans, Flashed different kernels inc Alex V, Re-calibrated touch screen, heating it up. Nothing seems to be working. Just wanted to make sure it's hardware before I pull it apart!
Thanks in advance!

If you did all that.....it's hardware.

Yea separating them isn't easy nor getting them back together perfectly either, did it on my old sensation and it's still going strong though so may give it a go as a lot cheaper for the digitlizer only.
As it's my sisters phone it's up to her where I order it from depending on how much she want's to pay , cheap and cheerful then new LCD complete kit on ali express is $35. For a genuine HTC replacement it's around $90.

Yea just be careful you don't get the wrong one, which one x do you have? As the USA at & t ones are different from the international ones? Could be wrong.

Might consider using that.. but have not decided yet.. thanks for the heads up.

How can I tell what region a phone is from?

I'm going to checkout a BNID HTC 10 in a couple of hours, and I want to quickly check that its region is Canada/USA (and he's not selling me an Asian and Euro variant). Is there a quick way to do that?
Also, any other recommendations on what I should look at before I give the guy my cash?

You could try https://imei24.com/imei_check/HTC/ if you have access to the IMEI.
