wouldn't the bands be different? Only thing i can think of is have a friend who lives in the US buy it than ship it over to you, or you come here and order one from google. Or it can be bought at like best buy or something.

EDIT: I didn't read carefully. I dont think the US google play sells the D821 model. Correct me if im wrong.

Both versions should work fine worldwide (Voice, Text, 2G, 3G, HSPA+). BUT if you purchase the North American version and you live elsewhere you will not get LTE. The opposite also holds true. So I would purchase from your 'local' Google website or a local store. You buy it while in North America (or the equivalent online site) you will get the North American version.

I am seeing all the India carriers using band 40 for LTE, except for one that uses band 3. List of LTE networks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The North American Nexus 5 has LTE: Bands: 1/2/4/5/17/19/25/26/41
The rest of the world Nexus 5 has LTE: Bands: 1/3/5/7/8/20

I think he's pretty much stuck with 3G unless he goes with Videocon in India

Good research, palandri. Hopefully that helps OP in making the right purchase.
