Re: Is the thing UNLOCKED???
Does that mean I can simply pop out my sim card in my Samsung Galaxy s3 on ATT and pop it into the Nexus 5?

Yes. I used to switch between my S3 and nexus 4 all the time.
Now it will be my moto x and nexus 5!

Re: Is the thing UNLOCKED???
Any ATT, Sprint or Tmo sim will work with the N5. Outside of play store it should be offered soon through T-Mobile, Sprint, Amazon, Best Buy (maybe) and possibly other outlets.
So the same goes for using an Att and sprint sim in it ??where else will it be sold besides the play store sprint tmobile Att stores and best buy??? Thanks

I thought there was a different version for sprint... That is what one of the sites is reporting anyway. Don't take my word for it

Re: Is the thing UNLOCKED???
Sprint doesn't use sim cards. I'm not saying you can't use the same device on Sprint and ATT/Tmo, but it won't be as simple as popping out the ATT/Tmo sim and popping in a Sprint sim. Switching between ATT & Tmo, or another GSM carrier, should be that simple, however.

I was under the impression that sprint is cdma only, therefore without a sim card in its phones?

Relevant: Yes, you can buy a Nexus 5 from Google Play and activate it on Sprint | Android Central

Isn't the SIM card in Sprint and Verizon phones for LTE (data) only? You still need a CDMA radio for voice, no?

Correct, with the exception of VoIP or VoLTE calling of course.
