The FCC testing reports and official spec sheets that have been floating around show the proper bands for both ATT and TMO. So, you can just order it where ever...

For those that are new to this line of phones, the nexus series has always ended up on all of the major carriers. Just be patient. I'm just as excited as you all are. :):D

---------- Post added at 11:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 AM ----------

Yeah, that's just outrageous. It's typical phone pricing before the phone is actually released. When the dist settles, nothing but good news will come from it. There will be no way that this phone will be over $600. I'm thinking that $529 will be the sweet spot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sl8125:
This is pentaband phone. I don't know why you need a carrier to have the SGN. I would buy it out right use it whatever carrier your on. Don't need a carrier to subsidies it even though it will be as cheaper way to go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Swiftks:
Ok, I;m gonna go out on my NooB limb here and just ask...

So, lets just say the Galaxy Nexus goes Verizon only in the U.S. (I don't think this will be the case, but for $hits & giggles, lets just say that's what happens)... I would assume that this Verizon version would be the LTE version of the Nexus. Ok, so since Verizon uses CMDA, I couldn't purchase one at full price from Verizon and just stick my AT&T card in it an expect it to work, could I??

So the other option (in this imaginary Verizon/U.S. only world) would be to order a over seas GSM version, use my AT&T sim card??? If so, would I need a unlock code??

Sorry for the stupid questions... just trying to get all my ducks in a row, so I know what to do when the official carrier info. is released by Samsung. This stuff just isn't my forte; usually just stick to a carrier phone, but am willing to make an exception in this case. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rickh925:
Not all LTE use the same frequencies just like the GSM issue with AT&T and TMobile in the US or even among some European countries where a 3g phone from one country will only have EDGE in another country even though both are GSM/UMTS. I haven't seen anything with the LTE frequencies being used, but you can easily Google to find the Verizon versus AT&T frequency problems as many have commented on it...prior to the release of this phone that is.

Now, it may be possible for Samsung to include many/all LTE frequencies in one radio. That sure would be good for the end user.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Abstract_Logic:
I don't care how much it would cost either, I just hope one of the models is ported to sprint :P

also, swiftks. Greetings from college station haha
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sl8125:
If you were to import a GSM hspa phone, no worries. All nexus phones are unlocked. You can use any GSM carrier. Previous nexus were either T-Mobile compatible or att compatible. But it seems the Galaxy Nexus is compatible with all GSM carrier.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Maximiano:
Seriously. I am contemplating switching to Verizon, but I just don't think that it is a good idea to switch carriers just for a phone. Guess I will just have to enjoy my E3D until the SGN comes to Sprint - if it does.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] keatre:
I'm in the same boat. My Sprint contract ended on Thur, my Evo's USB has broken off, so I'm in need of a new phone. I can move to Verizon - or perhaps stay with Sprint and grab a Galaxy S2 (and wait for ICS port).

Recommendations?

Thanks and Gig'em.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Swiftks:
So this sucks.... I hate you Verizon.

http://www.droid-life.com/2011/10/1...xus-in-the-initial-wave-other-carriers-later/

Later... How much later??? Maybe??? Jesus, might as well wait for the SGSIII if it's gonna be spring of next year or some ridiculous thing. Hopefully the Asus Transformer 2 comes out sooner, that way I can at least console myself.

**Edit**

"Samsung Janel: My mistake, no U.S. carrier has been determined yet. Stay tuned for updates."

Galaxy nexus prices?

So,what are the off contract prices for the galaxy nexus( in other country's)

in The Netherlands.

it will be released in December(late in my eyes) and for advice price of 649 euros!

really expensive in my eye's.

thats:

887,57 dollar.

564,76 British pound.

so im looking into a solution to import it for a cheaper price than the dutch version.

we use GSM here and that means the HSPA+ version if im right.

Pricing list:

The Netherlands- 649 Eur-887,57 USD-564,76 GBP

belsimpel.nl- 649 Eur-887,57 USD- 564,76 GBP [32GB]

MOBICITY- 605,50 Eur-810,18 USD-520,69 GBP [Pre-ORDER]

British retailer Clove-588,38 Eur-813,61 USD-514.80 GBP [16GB]

Italy-599 Eur-828,30 USD-524,10 GBP [16GB]

T-Mobile-469,34 Eur- 649 USD-410,65 GBP[unlocked 32GB][Source unknown,not 100% accurate]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Babydollll:
I don't think very long. A month at most....just my two cents but I'm pretty sure Google WANTS the Nexus on EVERY CARRIER....

Great....I respond to the post directly above and then you edit....

It's a tablet dammit! Not a BIG phone....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matteventu:
In Italy the 16 GB version is going to be released in the second half on Novembre/start of December for 599€ (825$).

But I'm going to buy the 32GB unlocked T-Mobile Galaxy Nexus (that works with European networks) for about 649$ (only 470€).

**** italian prices :-D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kromem:
I had been thinking of switching to Verizon for some LTE goodness, but then T-mobile had to go ahead and create a $30 no contract unlimited data/texting 100 minute plan (I never use minutes).

I can buy the phone at $600 and save more than the Verizon subsidy in under 8 months...

Gah...so torn...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] achandler2:
Actually all LTE phones require a sim card. I have the droid charge which has a sim thats needed for LTE
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
any confirmation for Tmobile USA?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmeadows013:
Switch to Verizon. I can safely say that (At least where I live) Verizon has the best coverage. Sprint has great coverage where I live, but terrible coverage everywhere else in the area. ATT has none at all. Big Red is the only carrier with consistant coverage everywhere I go. And our LTE flies :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] melterx12:
I don't care about coverage, I'm in NYC and a all carriers have great coverage here. However Verizon charges some sort of premium for absolutely nothing. A 2gb data plan on verizon is $30 + $10/GB thereafter, while T-Mobile charges just $20 for 2gb of data and rather than charging more $$$ for going over 2GB, T-Mobile simply slows down the connection (or so they claim, I have never experienced any slowdown when going over 2GB).

It's a similar story for texting and minutes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] keatre:
Justifying the price-hike is a little hard. Considering Sprint may very well get the Nexus, and I'd be locked into a higher paying contract is hard to swallow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dark lord me:
Canadian Carriers have confirmed they are getting the phone so that gives you minimum AT&T HSPA+ I believe the phone also supports T-Mobile HSPA+. Now the bad news for you Americans i have no idea about LTE on it here in Canada carriers use AWS for LTE (AKA AT&T LTE plans post merger) So hopefully it comes chock full of LTE bands so we can all enjoy it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bobbyphoenix:
+1

That's what I'm doing. Buy it unlocked from the first place that sells them, and use it on T-Mo, and then if the merger goes through I can still use it on AT&T if I want to stay. (If it lasts that long. I mean really even if the merger goes through next year some time, it will still be like 5 years before T-Mo bands won't be any good, and by then I'm sure there will be 1,000 new phones out to choose from that run "Newton" or something. haha)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mlin:
I think this is what I'll do. Vzw has better coverage than sprint and is much faster. In addition, with a few concessions (such as tiered data and limited messaging- both fine for my use) i can switch and pay almost the same per month.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sogrady:
All kinds of rumors flying around now.

This guy claims that Verizon and Samsung are fighting over reception issues.

http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/android-news-rumors/9760-verizon-getting-galaxy-nexus.html

Which would seem implausible except for the fact that a) they didn't announce carriers during the launch event, which is odd, and b) a Samsung rep backed off on her VZW confirmation:

http://nexus404.com/Blog/2011/10/19...u-s-partner-then-acts-like-it-never-happened/

Meanwhile, in other news, the Samsung informational signup sheet allows you to prefer one of seven different US carriers:

http://androidandme.com/2011/10/dev...-on-samsungs-site-includes-seven-us-carriers/

And this one, pure speculation, expects it to hit VZW and AT&T:

http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-nexus-carrier-round-up-will-you-be-able-to-get-it-27701/

Still, Verizon's the safe bet.

do you know the retailer's name?

and is that tmo version also from italia,or are you gona import it?

ill update the list anyways. and edit it later is needed.

thanks for the info ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JCreazy:
I really hope it goes to all carriers, its about time there was a standardized android phone for all carriers that eliminate a good majority of fragmentation. I especially would like it on ATT, I would never switch to a different carrier because where I live, I would say about 90% of the people in this area use ATT because of how good it is.

Excuse me, but i can't tell you the name of the retalier, because I'm going to import Galaxy Nexus with other staff of the android blog where i write, and it is not official :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martinsolsen:
In denmark it is going to be (according to Samsung) 4400 DKK(590 EUR, 809 USD) of contract, which considering the prices of other smartphones isnt to bad, it will launch late november.

EDIT: For the 16 gb HSPA+ version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnchad14:
Is there any reason to count those prices as accurate yet? I was looking at prices on unlocked Galaxy S2 a while back before release and they were all over the place. It seemed retailers were just throwing up anything to get a preorder in and adjusting price later (or not). So maybe give it some time before sweating importing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lojden:
5500SEK/€580/$790 is samsungs recommended retail price in Sweden for the 16GB version.

It's looking like over £500 including VAT on Handtech and Clove at the moment. Pricey!

Will be getting one of the HSPA+ models which work in Australia - as long as it doesn't have Provider branding all over it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] K.D.M.:
when the pre-order is really up... prices will drop...

belsimpel.nl has it now for €649,- but if more site's sell it for the same price, they drop.

We just have to wait.

and btw: what will the price in germany be?? alot of dutch internet shops import phones from germany because they are a little cheaper there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ghost010:
i dont know. havent heard any info yet on how many and when.

oh and its the 32Gb version they have. so im wondering what the 16GB version will be...

Wolfson DAC?

I'm really frustrated by most manufacturers reporting the specs of a device without including Digital Audio Converter information.

The Yamaha DAC and amp in the Galaxy S II and Hercules is total ****. (I own an SGS2)

If anyone knows what audio DAC the Galaxy Nexus uses please share it with the rest of us. I really hope it's a Wolfson DAC... The original Galaxy S and Nexus S with Voodoo sound absolutely incredible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] taylorzhang:
I'm a university student from china who wants to own a galaxy nexus. However, since I will be in china for at least 3 month a year, I'd like to know whether it's just a huge nexus touch in china.

From googling, I know that verizon 4g LTE uses a sim card, but can I put a regular gsm sim in it?

In addition, my friends are all on ATT family plan with brand new iphone 4s and are getting impatient with me. Everyone is iphone iphone iphone which makes me really sick. Therefore nobody is willing to form verizon family plan with me. ATT has huge price advantage for me, $40-50 vs $70+ after student discount. So any news for galaxy nexus on att? Will it be lte or hspa+? I'm in atlanta so actually there is ATT LTE coverage.

Currently I have a nexus s i9023 with ATT prepaid card whose edge network is simply unusable...I don't want to commit to att for 2 years before I have confirmation.

Someone is telling me that I can commit to att with only att sim card but buy phone at subsidized price later. Looks like I can finally get 3g... but afterall, is att worth commitment?

Guys, news, ideas, thoughts plz!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ianwood:
The LTE version is only going to Verizon and the LTE radio will likely only work on the Verizon network. LTE bands are numerous. They may put out an LTE version for AT&T but it looks like there will be an HSPA+ versions for other carriers first.

LTE uses a USIM profile and so you could likely take your Verizon SIM and use it in a GSM/EDGE/HSPA device when travelling abroad.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] taylorzhang:
But can I put a att sim card into a verizon 4g sim card slot?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ianwood:
The specs don't show the supported LTE bands but it is a safe bet you will only get band 13 which is Verizon. AT&T's is band 17. So if you put an AT&T SIM into an unlocked VZW Galaxy Nexus, you still won't be able to connect to AT&T.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] taylorzhang:
Ok， that's kinda disappointing
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qreffie:
Considering AT&T only has LTE in like 5 cities I doubt they'll make another Galaxy Nexus to support GSM/LTE but that could be a possibility on the next Nexus phone. It's kind of hard to justify doing so considering all that R&D to develop a phone that will work with both of those frequencies considering most of the rest of the world doesn't have LTE yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qreffie:
A GSM sim will not work in a LTE phone. Additionally none of Verizon's LTE phones are global capable. They may work in CDMA countries since it's backwards compatible, but you will not be able so sim swap with any GSM carrier. You should however be able to sim swap with AT&T's LTE network if you're lucky enough to live in one of those 5 LTE areas they have.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Habbit:
To kind of high-jack this post, I live in the United States and am currently with T-Mobile, using an HD2. My phone contract is up, but my contract will T-Mobile doesn't expire until May. Next semester (March-July) I will be doing a Study Abroad program in Japan, and I would like to have a new phone by then, preferably a Galaxy Nexus. Does anyone know if Verizon (or AT&T's) LTE network bands are compatible with NTT Docomo's LTE network bands? What I may end up doing is let my contract with T-Mobile expire, buy a Galaxy Nexus over in Japan, and if it's compatible with any US cellular networks, bring it back over here at the end of the summer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jebus99:
Japan's version is HSPA+, like the rest of the worlds. Only Verizon is getting an LTE version specific to its LTE Bands and not compatible with any other (since its a CDMA phone).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
AT&T will get the HSPA+ version

LTE will be on the Verizon / Sprint CDMA network
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ianwood:
I don't recall seeing a GN with AT&T LTE bands passing through the FCC so it will be quite a while if there is to be one at all. The GS2 with AT&T LTE will likely come out first.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ianwood:
Let's modify this statement to be more accurate: Older GSM SIMs will not work in an LTE phone but current ones supporting the uSIM profile will. AT&T's current SIMs support LTE (obviously).

If you read my earlier post, you will see that this doesn't work. Different bands. Even in an AT&T LTE market, a GN with an AT&T SIM will recognize the SIM but it will not find any networks it can connect to. Caveat: Unless someone finds a way to run an AT&T band 17 baseband on the Verizon GN and can get the physical radios to support it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qreffie:
I suppose I should have modified my statement to say "at the current moment a GSM SIM will not work in a Verizon wireless LTE device," as I completely forgot that AT&T is a GSM network with LTE as well and therefore would have to build phones where compatible with both due to their micro LTE footprint at this stage in the game sort of like how all the Verizon LTE phones are still compatible with CDMA.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Papi4baby:
Did a GN with Verizon LTE bands go through the FCC?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ianwood:
At first I was going to reply "It must have!" but thankfully I did some searching first.

The T-Mobile and AT&T HSPA+ versions (GT-I9250) have gone through the FCC but I can't find any approvals for the SCH-I515 Verizon LTE version. Which begs the question of why the SCH-I515 has been appearing in order management systems for early November when the device might still be awaiting its FCC approvals?!?! Maybe rumors of the LTE radio issues are true!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
What rumors of the lte radio issues?

I voided my warranty and your nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ianwood:
Of course, I can't find it now that I brought it up. It appeared a few weeks ago in one of the blogs. It mentioned rumors of issues with losing connectivity and I think battery issues as well. If I find it, I'll update this post.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sosquidtaste:
I'm not sure about major blog sources, but I believe this very thread linked to a forum post pertaining to the LTE/4G connectivity rumor that you're talking about:

Apologies if that's not quite what you had in mind.

Hi everyone!

I'm a recent owner of a Xperia Arc S (Orange Spain) with v2.3.4 (4.0.1.A.0.266)

I rooted the terminal with Doomlord-zergRush, it works fine.

What's the next step for have a generic global 2.3.4? :confused:

I answer myself...

The secuence is:

- download flashtool. I used v0.3 in win7

- download the firm you want. My choose was Generic Middle East North Africa (Latin) - LT18i 4.0.2.A.0.42 CUSTOMIZED-MEL [1254-2282] from HERE

- Unrar the flashtool and put the firm in the folder called "firmwares"

- Connect the phone pressing "BACK" button

- Lauch the flashtool (Administrator), press Flash and follow the instructions.

Thats all!
