No, the GSM 32gb is rumored to be canceled.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
Not that surprising, the 16gb version hasn't exactly been flying off the shelves.

And yes, it does look like the 32GB version has been cancelled. Apparently Expansys and Negri have already confirmed they are not getting the 32GB in stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Way to go google. Nexus was supposed to be the champion phone that helped break some of the chains of the carriers yet here we are chained to 16gb and possible data charges.

Relatively small amount of storage is the only thing about my GNex I hate.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
While this is pretty surprising I just don't think that high of a % of people really need more than 16gb of storage.

I might be a bit of a fringe case on the other side, but I've yet to use more than 5gb on my phone (including the OS). Been using the phone for a few weeks now and have 11.3gb free. Even if you're an app and music fanatic, there is no situation in which you'll need 15gb of media on the device at any given time.

I get having to remove things to sideload a movie or two is annoying, but who does that on a regular basis, really?

On devices like the iPhone that widely offer 16gb, 32gb and 64gb models I'd venture to guess somewhere in the 85% of sales are of the 16gb.

I don't see the problem with all the cloud services now a days? Do you need more than 4k songs on your Spotify?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ravynmagi:
I'm sure it works great for some people. But I found that when I'm out biking, streaming music is very unreliable on T-Mobile here in the Phoenix area, so I have to keep my music on my device. I also tend to download a lot of pod casts and videos, streaming just hasn't been reliable enough for me.

Regarding the 32GB GSM model being cancelled. Not surprised. The Nexus gets zero respect from hardware manufactures and carriers. Google seems to have pretty much no leverage and is already bending to their demands (Verizon apps and branding on a Nexus? Wow).

I hope Google goes with Motorola and has enough influence with their new purchase to do the next Nexus right. Galaxy Nexus is a good phone, I like it, but Samsung did half ass a few things and definitely is more interested in it's own Galaxy S line than this Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schizrade:
This. Most of my music is up on Amazon Cloud. I have 25GB available.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
I feel for those that care about this, but I don't. I switch music out on my phone quite a bit and have many apps installed , half of them I could probably delete and not care. I still have around 3G free, which is plenty.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haydonxda:
What about people who have a reason to minimize data usage or maximize battery life?

What about people who get spotty data coverage or no data coverage in locations?

The cloud is great iff you can access it.

I simply see no reason to use expensive and resource intensive networked resources when a little bit of cheap flash would do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ZeroBarrier:
Then this is NOT the phone for them, "These are not the Droids you're looking for", as it were. Pretty simple really. Plenty of options out there. God forbid they would get a PMP for their media needs...

A phone is primarily a communication device first, at least for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
lol i bought this phone because i wanted direct aosp support. i don't care about otas and 32gb storage. And have you people ever heard about OTG for your massive storage needs?

hope google does indeed success in buying motorola mobility though.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CB620:
What's OTG? :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jcbpnl:
Check Negri Electronics twitter page. Samsung isn't making any more accessories for the GSM variant.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jcbpnl:
Exactly. What are they thinking? I was going to shell out on a dock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
They are thinking it's go time for the SGS3.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jcbpnl:
This phone is what...two months old? I guess I'll have to shell out for one now before they are all out of stock. :-(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NicholasQ:
So glad I didn't waste money getting a galaxy nexus. Big disappointment in my eyes. I hope the next nexus makes up for these last two disappointments.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jcbpnl:
Don't get me wrong. This phone is fantastic. The radio it has seems to be able to hold a better signal than my G2X by a long shot. I just wish Samsung would treat it as a Nexus and not something that's getting in the way of their line of phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AfroCreame:
Hope the next Nexus is done in-house with Google/Motorola.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haydonxda:
Lovely. Well, Samsung screwed me over twice. Once with the Captive... err... Captivate not working and now with not providing promised accessories for the Galaxy Nexus.

Thanks Samsung! Forever goodbye.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:

I see this as a good thing - means I've got a Limited Edition phone!

Not every little **** will have one! POW!! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LBTaylor1984:
This is the only way will get the ultimate Nexus.

**** Samsung I just sold my SGS2 for the Nexus, and now there cutting us off. tbh they can shove there SGS3 I want nothing to do with them anymore.

next time i'll deal with Motorola or Nokia (if they finally go Android)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ophois:
I may not have used or ever even seen a GNexus to actually use but the idea of a Motorola Nexus device just disgusts me, especially since the last two nexus devices omitted an SD slot.

I could see Motorola omitting a removable battery.

Samsung may have made the last two nexus devices but who designs them?

Who has to approve them?

Kind regards.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us by replying to this ticket.

As always, it is our pleasure to assist in any way possible!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] j.go:
Are we talking about the Motorola that refuses to unlock the RAZR bootloader? The one that's releasing a RAZR developer edition with no word at all if they're going to unlock the RAZR's that have already been sold?

Or how about Nokia who decided to drop symbian 3 for WP7 less than a year after it was released. And announced that they were withdrawing support for Meego in the long term even before the N9 was released. Sure, they've released anna and belle, and promised a <insert girl's name that begins with a C> update. But, they're even worse than samsung. S^3 was rubbish. Anna was a marked improvement and made the phone usable, but that was 9 months of putting up with S^3. If it weren't for the amazing camera I would have sold my N8 sooner rather than later. However, I believe WP7 and microsoft will help whip them back into shape... hopefully.

Moto and Nokia phones have excellent build quality, but their support isn't that much better than Samsung. In fact, among android OEMs, I personally believe that HTC and Samsung are the lesser evils.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
I'd say Google should go back to HTC - agree that Moto and Nokia would be fails (Nokia less so as their hardware is actually quite good)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
I'd agree but only if they don't slap on Super LCD screens. Their washed out colors would be the detriment of my eyes. I'll take soaked colors any day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
Aww man. Now this breaks my heart. I'm feeling another Samsung rebellion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsntrenkler:
For me none of this really matters. I love the gnex and won't need a desktop dock, I am enjoying the device for what it is and it does it job incredibly well. I hope to see moto produce the next nexus as their hardware and build design has been fantastic lately. Either way I love this device and 6 months later when I upgrade to the next best thing I won't have used accessories that I shelled cash out on to try and sell as well. How many times have you bundled your used accessories only to discover they really didn't earn you anymore in the sale? I saw love the device for what it is and get used to the fact that the next best thing will always be out shortly. Unless of course you enjoy the iOS ecosystem where your stuff is good for at least a year.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LBTaylor1984:
The point i'm making is that the Motorola and Nokia make lovely devices, sort out there support issues, and you have lovely hardware, add on Google Nexus, and then you'll have a high quality phone with Google AOSP. perfect.

HTC make okish phones, but there aesthetics never pleased my eyes.

My disgust comes from the fact Samsung have dropped support for the Nexus, far earlier than the SGS2. most of it doesn't bother me, but surely google should pull there finger out a little quicker. especially since the devs here and elsewhere have effectively pushed android into the market and made android what it is today. Sure the manufacturers have made there own overlay but have any of them made any real improvements?

Touchwiz is far too cartoony for me

Sense is bloatware

Xperia is the iphone of the android world in my opinion

LG i can't even be bothered to comment on as there awful.

and Motorola I played with briefly in CPW and it crashed.

Android really should be AOSP, or even a blend of MIUI and Android.

this would make the phone much more user friendly to the average consumer.

Nexus should be the real Flagship phone are Android and it should be the best phone and supported longest from hardware to software...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CB620:
While im sorta sad that there wont be a 32gb and no further accessories by Samsung it still wont stop 3rd party vendors to produce for this phone accessory wise. I have seen better accessories on Japanese sites and other vendor sites while Samsung took their time to launch certain things. It may be a deal breaker for some people but Im still glad i have a future proof phone. Even though i will jump ship for the SGS3 lol, i still may keep this one as a backup. Still kind of debating on getting a white one since i have been going caseless for the last couple days.The development is here so i think we should be fine. If the 32gb is canceled US only per say it wouldnt be a problem for some of us to get it imported. I dunno :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
HTC's design is soooooooooo tired. Every single phone they release looks like a slight derivative of the HD2.

Samsung is the only Android manufacturer making good, sexy hardware right now IMO.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InfiniD:
TO ALL THE CLOUD PEOPLE!

Not usually one to rant but I need to here. What scares me about this is the larger picture. Data plans are getting smaller and more expensive and at the same time storage is getting smaller, which will force you to use a cloud service. So for all the music, etc. that you already own you will have to stream it and use up part of your data plan. That's what really scares me, it's like getting taxed twice. Your using data to get the song but it doesn't end there, now you have to use data every time you listen to it. This all boils down to the carriers making a lot of money off of stuff you own. What's next? 8GB phones and $50 per GB data plans in 5 years? I'm all for companies making a profit, I'm conservative and definitely not an occupy movement type but i see potential disaster for the consumer here. Who knows, hopefully this isn't a trend but for all the good things about a cloud, when combined with an expensive data plan it can be really bad for the consumer. I'll keep my content locally thank you. Not to mention all the downfalls of a cloud service, battery drain, losing signal, etc.

What's really disappointing is this entire issue can be avoided with expandable memory. Feels like we are going backwards.

Trust me, I think you're in denial too. It's all just opinions. What I'm saying is when it was finally announced I and many other people felt let down.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Super Chimp:
They are given the task of making the flagship Android device for Google & then seemingly lose interest in it a short while later. Let's hope someone else manufacturers their next flagship device is all I can say.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ophois:
I enjoy the Samsung hate when they probably couldn't have dropped it without Google's approval. Manufacturing contracts and all.

Google has to protect its new acquisition...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
I love my phone. Seems to be a bunch of hatred for not much reason.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haydonxda:
Unless of course, those reasons were on the list of why someone decided to plunk down $700 on a phone.

I really think I'm going back to Apple and ditching the Android experiment. Apple at least supports their products for a period of time and they have a robust accessory ecosystem.

I'm sorry but I'm not going to be in a position where a manufacturer announces products and then quietly says to itself, "We'll see how many we sell before delivering on the promises." At $60 a pop even if they're not very profitable (!) they can't be losing money on the darned things.

I use a dock, I don't like fidgeting with the micro USB connector for charging all of the time. I wanted the car mount to use it as a GPS and get it in a reasonable hands free location for me to use. I bought the phone because they announced these accessories. And later they decide that they weren't going to deliver.

There's no way I'll buy another Samsung phone with the intent to use it the way I want to and hope the phone will be successful enough for them to consider producing the announced accessories for it. If this was a $30 purchase I'll eat it. Not on a $700 purchase though. No way.

Samsung: You don't have the LUXURY of having a third party accessory ecosystem. You MUST provide these accessories yourself. If you don't people will go somewhere else. I am.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeb crs:
What kind of extras do You really need?

We have extra battery + back cover,HDMI, 3rd party car holders(Active Brodit).

For extra memory when You need You can use an OTG adapter and mem sticks.

Do You need more?

I have up to 3 days of usage on my phone with the extended battery and the phone was to thin before...

I run GummyNex
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haydonxda:
For me, I put what accessories I "need" in my post. Desktop dock and car dock. If you're going to suggest I don't really "need" them - that's true. I don't really "need" the phone in the first place.

With the promise of these accessories Samsung successfully separated myself and $700 of my money. They won't be successful in the future which will end up costing them many thousands.

The other accessories you list don't hold any interest for me. It's just the difference in how I use the phone and how you use it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cirian75:
something we don't know about is happening.

and what ever it is, it's not good news for the GN.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qnet:
This is what I hope for also. That would be the ultimate combination, a pure Google phone with Motorola radios and hardware. I also hope it's a world phone that can be used on all carriers. It wouldn't hurt my feelings if Verizon never got another Nexus phone again though. I'm getting it either way.

I've always liked the nexus line of phones and this one had been sort of a disaster for consumers. I love my CDMA Gnex but was hoping for a 32GB GSM model to come out, just in case. Not releasing all the accessories is disappointing also.I wonder if the desk dock will ever be available for the U.S. version. If not I have the Seidio dock which I like.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HarshReality:
I still have my D1 and when it was in service used it as my alarm clock via the media dock. Was REALLY hoping for one for my SGNex... looks like I got a bum steer on this one. And what was all this awhile ago about Google pulling it from the dev site completely over the Verizon spat pertaining to Wallet?

I do have to give them points for marketing though... the Samsung presentation w/Google for the galaxy nexus made it look like the starship enterprise vs space shuttle atlantis. Everything seemed as if this was THE new age for android and the perfect device to experience it.

But... 32G on the sucker and after everything I have dumped I still only using 2% LOL. Couldnt have done that with my D1 on its best day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
I definitely agree with this... and it's unfortunate.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jayrod1980:
Well I already have the 16gb version so there's no way I'm shelling out again for the 32gb model but it would have been nice. Like others have said, its disappointing that they have canned accessories for Google's flagship phone. I love this phone just as I loved my nexus s and clunky g1 before that (had a few phones between the g1 and s as well). I'll keep this awesome phone till next year when hopefully a Motorola nexus comes out and give this one to my wife as I did with my nexus s. What's the point in having Motorola other than for patents if they at least won't make a developer phone with them? They would have more input on the phone and would possibly be cheaper. If the razr Max was a gsm model with an unlocked boot loader I may have purchased that instead. Motorola makes great built phones and their accessories are amazing. Omap is actually my favorite soc and it won't matter games wise because EVERY major chip maker other than nvidia is going to use the powervr gpu. I read the other day that Samsung and qualcomm both inked contracts with imagination tech to use their gpus in the future. It just makes sense. They perform the best and that would mean apple, Samsung, qualcomm, and TI will have the same basic graphics drivers. More of the same games across platforms.

Make it in the maxx form factor (3000mah battery) with quad core, a powervr >543+, omap pentaband, nfc, 720p screen minus pentile, 1.5gb+ ram, and a memory card slot, and call it a day. Add all those wonderful Motorola accessories and you would have a hands down nexus winner. The only problem would be that it would be so good, power users wouldn't buy any of the other Android phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aridon:
I would guess the 16GB was probably barely worth selling so devoting line space to a 32GB version wasn't worth it. Outside of geeks it's not a popular device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Korntoff:
The 16gb was the top selling device on Expansys NZ at one point. Now I'm glad I didn't wait it out for the 32gb. THough I do feel kinda cheated. 16gb is a limitation, if anything; I'm one of those people who don't stream music; the quality is never anything special, my connection is bad 99% of the time and I don't even have a data plan. FLAC is the only way for me to go, really. You can imagine the consequences.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
I don't see how it's any less popular than it's predecessors. I have owned all three and this is the best in my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AV8ing:
Just an FYI, Samsung Canada has removed the GN from its website. No pictures, specs, etc. The only thing I could find is a quick guide download in support. Looks they really are blowing this thing off in a big way.

i'm not bothered about the 32gb, 16gb is enough space for me. i wouldn't have sold my 16gb to buy a 32gb anyway.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sleuth255:
The real question is why the heck did Samsung make two wildly different devices in the first place??? :confused: :confused: All that really needs to be different is the radio hardware.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Super Chimp:
Carrier requirements in the US wasn't it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sleuth255:
The carriers required a device with different dimensions for LTE? Google/Samsung were the developers here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwallersv:
Me too.

And I have the 32GB VZW version.

For the price of this device, there isn't a good reason a microSD slot was left out. I understand Google's rationale/philosophy with ICS and the GNex. It makes sense. I support it.

Thing is, nothing in that new philosophy forecloses on having an SD slot also. Ship the damn thing with 16/32GB internal, use it just the way it's being used, and include a damn SD card expansion slot too. Without an inculded SD card.

Then people could, you know, do things like, you know, easily back up the internal storage. Carry around a lot of media on separate SD cards. And on and on.

Not including a slot in the hardware was really dumb.

You have to be able to access the cloud services.

I hope you have the pleasure some day of venturing out of the urban area you are confined to, and enjoying the spectacle of, say, some beautiful mountain ranges. Good chance you won't have even 2G data service (or, in many places, cell service at all). Yet, you might want to listen to music while... skiing maybe?

And I've just started listing examples. How about boating? Vacationing in the Bahamas? Rent a boat for a few days to explore the islands? DAMN! Can't access my cloud-storage music! CRAP!

And on and on...

Out in the real-world -- that is, outside of high-school -- real people are in real situations where they really can't access cloud services. Datsa Fak, Jack.
