[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmw017:
So I just spoke with a T-mobile rep and she said the galaxy nexus "will take about a month" when i asked when are they getting it... then she also said it will come with 8gb of storage then said she "misunderstood with something else" then said 16gb, then said she didnt have info on whether it would come subsidy or unlocked .. sooo.. take this as whatever lol

i still think Tmo is gonna get this and gonna announce it tomorrow... and yeah unfortunately i do think it will only be 16gb (not becuz of the rep lol..)

btw i never got this question answered. Is there any size difference in a 16GB storage...chip(?).. and a 32gb one , becuz if so, it would make sense that only the LTE version, with its already added thickness thanks to the LTE radio, would get the 32gb while the thinner models could only fit the 16gb. any1 know?

Edit: Lmfao! at the end of the convo, the rep finally said the release date was Nov 23rd, when Iasked where she found that info, she replied with "You can check using Bing search engine" .. I burst out laughing... i didnt think these reps were ever too competent in the first place but sheesh, bing? lmfao... anyways, i had a fun chat with her lol

I don't think we'll hear of a GN for anyone else but Veriz in the US until, at the earliest, after Christmas. it'll be very much like how the Nexus One/S got released on Tmo first for a few months, then we saw ATT versions, and ultimately a Sprint Nexus S about half a year later.

So far there's no leak or mention of any other places carrying unlocked or GSM version at all. By now last year, there were a few Best Buy leaks already.

I wouldn't hold my breath, but of course, I'm hoping for sooner too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
yeah we all can agree we dont expect nything.. but it doesnt hurt to dream
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xManMythLegend:
hahahahahahahah

Good lord.

Earlier this week a store rep said "oh..yeah its coming this week but only Google is selling it"....Matias Duarte yesterday "Google will not be selling GN"

Anyways ,I think TMO is just there because Google threw them a bone after giving VZ exclusivity on the GN.

All signs point to this being simply about music perhaps another artsy app update (picasa?)

GN being announced for TMO release this month not happening.

Android @ Home will likely be what this is about. Some sort of music service tied into new hardware.They really havent said a thing about that since last I/O and music was the focal point of that demo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmw017:
every1 is speaking about this exclusive deal like its undeniable truth.

when was this overblown rumor confirmed?

Imo this exclusive thing is either:

a) (90% sure on this one) a typical and simple marketing tactic used by Verizon used to slap an "exclusive" label on their LTE model Nexus.. after all, it technically is exclusive to VZW..so why not slap that label on there and draw in more customers. There has never been a single leaked document of any sort that used the word "exclusive" and "Galaxy Nexus" together unless it was heavily specified that the phone was the 4g LTE model (i.e. the comparison chart with the razr and rezound, the phone had "exclusive" under its features but was specifically stated to be the 4G LTE phone in a handful of places).

b) verizon has an exclusive deal to be the first to announce the phone .. and today is the last day they are allowed to announce it before the deals up, why is why Tmobile has an event with google at midnight EST (for more than one reason.. yes its obviously music too).

On top of everyythhingg else, Google giving exclusivity to Verizon for this phone doesn't add up. The phone, the company, the business intent, it doesnt make sense in any respect...

anyway, ive seen so much pessimism about this phone in every forum, its absurd. any little rumor about this gets turned into some horrific nightmare... people need to calm down and stop blowing things out of proportion
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xManMythLegend:
Im pretty sure it stems from leaked ads with the exclusive label. The Samsung dude on TV specifically said VZ and brushed off about the other carriers.

Ive never heard a deal to exclusively "announce" a phone without exclusive time to sell.

The event is scheduled for 5 pm today ?

http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/16/googles-these-go-to-eleven-android-event-starts-at-5pm-et-ge/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Exclusive deal to announce a phone?

Yeah, Verizon is going to spend money to announce a phone everyone will have, that makes alot of sense.

p.s. There's no sign of samsung anything on that T-mo/Google event. Chances are Google is working with T-Mo to allow better rates for music data over their network. (i.e. $5.99 to stream unlimited music via GMusic). That's the biggest pain in the ass with Google Music, data caps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmw017:
the google event is 2pm PST, the tmobile/google event is 9pm

the leaked ads? there are two i can think of, one being the comparison chart which i already went over, and the other is that little banner that said "Galaxy Nexus Exclusive from Verizon" or something, it was removed..tada.. why, galaxy nexus is a general term, referring to both models, which VZW doesnt have exclusivity over.. no other reason to remove the banner... since every1 is waiting on them to announce the phone... the 4G LTE phone..... that is exclusive to Verizon ..... a completely different phone from the Samsung Galaxy Nexus 4G HSPA+ ......

either way, we'll find out whats up tonight and/or tomorrow ... just wanted to take my stance on this whole Exclusive cr** people relentlessly go on about like its concrete fact.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] keatre:
Alas, I hope you are right -- but I think Verizon has this until Christmas at least. In 3-4 months, we can expect GN on other carriers.

Again, I hope you're right and I'm wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xManMythLegend:
Agreed entirely.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
They didn't have to spend extra money. They just made it part of their contract with Google that Verizon has to be the one to announce it first. That has value to a carrier.

doubt it. T-mobile doesn't have data caps. All they have is throttling.

And who would fall for paying a monthly fee to listen to your own music that you bought? And paying the carrier, not Google? lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmw017:
never said the second option is too plausible but there it is.. feel free to debunk my first choice

yeah the event is primarily music, but they are going to talk about the nexus. "Experience the world of T-Mobile & Google" that sound like a hint toward lower rates? i dont think streaming music rates encompass the world of tmo and google. And they hired Drake and the other people to celebrate lower rates? mmkk pumpkin
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vyse666:
Look, this is a Google Music event, and Verizon does have a timed exclusive.

However, so does Bell in Canada. But, it's only for 30 days for them, and it didn't stop Telus, Rogers and the other carriers from announcing that they're getting the Galaxy Nexus in January.

Verizon could have a similar short-term exclusive. I just think everyone wants to know how long the exclusivity period will last.

Now, rest assured, that Google will be demoing the new Google Music app/store on a Nexus device.

IF (big IF) they use a Galaxy Nexus, that's a good sign for the T-Mobile faithful. However, they could, just as easily, use a Nexus S.

Nothing is guaranteed.

We'll see.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I like people who think carriers don't want capitalize on content-based bandwidth. Verizon already has Google in their pockets (net neutrality flip-flop). With every iteration of Android there are hooks built in to allow service providers to manipulate and split data by destination (data usage by app in 4.0). The Google that stood for a "single pipe" of data has been moneyhatted so that Google can continue to expand their services.

(Hint:, that's exactly what they want to do, think of how cable companies work)

---------- Post added at 03:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 PM ----------

I'm giong to assume you know how variable rate stream works.

I'm also going to assume you know that streaming high quality music on a throttled connection is totally not awesome.

Now, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt, and assume you can put two and two together that T-Mobile giving Google Music preference and not counting towards someone data usage will end with a pretty awesome Google Music streaming experience.

(You know carriers charge $.20 per text message, they charge $1.99 per month for hold music, but it's somehow incredulous to you that they would charge for QOS feature.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xManMythLegend:
This x 10.

IMO if there was any intention of a non VZ GN this month we would have heard about it by now.TMO got thrown a bone whatever that bone is we find out tonight.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
HTC Amaze, lol.

That about wraps it up for anything Galaxy Nexus related.

Carrier billing for songs..../sadface

The device shown was NOT a Galaxy Nexus. I didn't catch what it was (it was Samsung device) but it had buttons. No Galaxy Nexus seen at Google's event, sorry guys.

How about that T-Mo Nexus, awesome eh?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Did you guys really expect them to announce the Galaxy Nexus at a Google Music launch event? Cmon...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xManMythLegend:
Tmos logo was a weird sign.

Id expect any blogger with any competence to at least ask about the friggin announcement they made LAST time that people STILL dont have any info on.

Going direct to the Tmo rep would have been smart.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ruthlesset:
The fact that the mp3's are 320kbps is a pretty big deal specially if you're a audiophile. I use EarSonics sm3 while traveling, Audio Technica ATH-M50 at work and Sennheiser HD959 at home so music is pretty imp to me. So the fact that I can buy 320kbps mp3s and the fact that I use android makes this announcement a plus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xManMythLegend:
Im all for 320 and a new music service...but LOL at holding an event for this.

If the last announcement ended with "available today" most would not have given this a second look.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Really? This Google Music launch is a pretty huge deal actually....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NICEGYPT:
This phone is not coming to tmobile at all or at least for right now. I am going to get GS2 I don't have a choice I am without a phone for a month waiting for this. I think it's enough :(

Seriously the pessimism here is unfathomable ... really shames the XDA community.

Did the T-Mobile event even happen yet? No. Alright then, calm yourselves. Nobody was expecting any sort of big announcement at Google's music event.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
Nobody? I bet a few people beg to differ. Even the delusional. Especially the ones without a galaxy nexus yet. Or solid news even.

I invented cyberspace. You're trespassing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ruthlesset:
I was on my 5 yr old phone for two months waiting for this phone. finally gave up and bought a used Nexus S. Once GN comes out this will be my backup phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nyijedi:
It looks like you can import the phone from Handtec (http://www.handtec.co.uk/) for US $593. This is the best price I've found so far. However, I'm really hesitant to spend that much money on a phone and not have a warranty (or have a warranty that is only serviceable via the U.K.). What do you guys who plan on importing the phone plan on doing? Are people just going to be extra careful and hope they don't receive a faulty unit?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
$593? I see it as £424.99 which comes out to $670. US
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xManMythLegend:
Can someone explain why no warranty ? meaning from samsung or from asurion ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tehsam:
same here. I got pretty excited as $590 is about what I would hope this would cost if it were sold unlocked in the states.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nyijedi:
Damn. I'm sorry to get you excited, guys. I accidentally used a euro conversion. My bad.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xManMythLegend:

Or at least his calculator.

590 would have been a decent deal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I was super excited too, lol.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
wifi calling

As far as tmo goes, my choice is certainly the galaxy nexus over the gS2 or the amaze. That said, I could really use the wifi calling feature. If tmo doesn't muck with the google phone then I'm assuming that we won't see that feature on the tmo galaxy nexus. This will separate this phone from the other tmo high-end phones which will all have this feature.

Does this concern anyone else? Any other good alternatives for the wifi calling? I've seen where folks have attempted to flash tmo wifi calling onto the nexus one with limited success.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
Tmo will get the HSPA+ version

it already passed the FCC certification, so it's just a matter of time before it arrives in store

since they did announced it will first start rolling out in USA, Canada, Europe, and Japan on November this year
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SeanFloyd:
Sure hope this guy is right!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kolyan:
I might be switching to Verizon myself. But I still hope Nexus will come to Tmobile, this way I will have a choice. The only thing that holds me with Tmobile is "world phone" capability.

Lately I am not happy with Tmobile...I pay $5 more then new customers ($85 bucks) and my wife has 2nd line off contract for $40 bucks. She also works at Sovereign Bank and I have college student ID. Tmobile cannot give me any student discounts, no employer discounts, not even a discount if I lock myself and my wife to family plan for 2 years.....EVERY option comes out more then we pay now (both have been with Tmo for 5-6+ years).

On the other hand, Verizon has 20% monthly discount, and family plan that fits me will be $125 bucks for 2 lines.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drzfr3shboialex:
ill buy it unlocked get insurance with asurion and go to simple mobile
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
all nexus phones are unlocked and easy root-able stock from factory/google
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gimiento:
That's a pretty good price for 2 lines. But verizon's "discounts" only cover voice minutes, they don't discount text and data charges. And their data packages, in my opinion, are ridiculously expensive. 30 bucks for 2gb data, 50 bucks for 5 gb. Right now I pay 20 for 5 gb with Tmo. I'm sometimes tempted to go to a different network for better out-of-city coverage, but in the end I just can't move on from Tmo's great customer service, good prices, and from-day-one support of android. Hopefully they'll offer the GN sooner than later (but hey, anybody see those reviews of the N9, that is a sexy phone :).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itsjusttim:
I'm sitting where you are... passed on sensation for the s2, when they announced the s2 had the snapdragon I said I'd wait for this.

I would get the note over this though, if it was available.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kolyan:
yeah, i am paying 20 for 5gb too, my wife paying 10 for 5gb :-) i am also always temped to switch but never do. my wife never uses 5gb...i dont think i do too though. i wish tmobile had discounts, but for some wierd reason they dont.....maybe will get some when i will be ready to cancel :-)

If you are wondering about your carrier...here you go!!

http://www.samsung.com/us/register/galaxynexus/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qreffie:
I starting to wonder if the price difference between the LTE and HSPA+ version is the issue. Verizon charges a $299 premium for their LTE phones but T-Mobile usually charges $229 for a HSPA+ capable phone and since the phone is question is the nearly the exact same on all carriers (only difference being the radio) if that's causing an issue with a formal announcement of pricing and availability. It'll be quite difficult to justify shelling out $70 more for the exact same phone that AT&T and T-Mobile are selling. LTE is good but it isn't THAT good and if you're in a non-LTE market then the more expensive Verizon version will also have the slowest data connection along with not being able to simultaneously use voice and data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] esincho:
Old news, nothing new here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brandonyoung:
the GrooveIP app combined with a Google Voice number seems like a substitute for Wifi Calling. One Plus is that Google voice won't use your minutes, but T-Mobile's Wifi Calling app still does.

Wifi calling on T-Mobile does not use your minutes. You need to call customer service so they can set it up on your account.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] peachpuff:
Must be nice, one of the brilliant canadian carriers makes you buy an additional plan to use wifi calling. So even if your current plan has a billion minutes you still need to buy a wifi calling plan... diaf rogers!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SeanFloyd:
The suspense is killing me....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
From what I gather... the SGSII and the Amaze dont have wifi calling because they are implementing a new protocol which also affects wifi tethering....

So it might be free now but looks like the new service wont be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drzfr3shboialex:
42mbps
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itsjusttim:
They will receive wifi calling app in November... I think on the 18th
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] farfromovin:
So is this, or is it not a 42mbps HSPA+ device? I've seen conflicting info on it. If TMOUS gets this, or at least a TMOUS 4G (even @ 21mbps) GSM device is available, I'll buy it off contract. I really want a 720p display and Nexus dev support. Cant wait!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itsjusttim:
From what I understand its 21mbps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _DiMoN_:
My questions is if the phones sold oversees have the T-mobile bands (1700/AWS)? If this is the case if T-mobile doesn't have it by Nov 16, I am getting from UK.

Anyways I am using SimpleMobile.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itsjusttim:
Yes the GSM version should work on T-Mobile 3g. I am on the fence about buying it then also... I am just hoping we will hear something here about a USA release by then.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
this.

I've seen multiple sites in Europe up for preorder with pentaband frequencies listed. I have no doubt they are saving money by manufacturing one gsm phone worldwide.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _DiMoN_:
If this is the case we are talking about something very new! I like this concept of one phone, all networks...Before was such a hassle and I believe is good also for the manufactures for operations! So I will buy it from any country it is cheaper, as simple as that!
