Is there a GSM+LTE version?

[FreakyLocz14]

Or is it GSM or CDMA+LTE version only? I need to know before I before I buy since one with an LTE radio is sure to be thicker and not fit my case.

The one I am looking at buying has the MPN: GT-I9250TSAXEU.
I need to make sure it is HSPA+ only and not LTE.

I noticed that the HSPA+ only versions have a 1750 mAh battery, while this one says 1850 mAh that LTE versions have, but that might just be a clerical error since that part of the listing is automated.

To my knowledge that model number is indeed the GSM model used by T Mobile/HSPA.

I hope you're right. The seller just responded, so I'll be speaking with them.
I already had to return my last one, and EBay makes you eat the shipping costs unless it's purely the seller's fault, and even then you have to ask PayPal to give you the shipping costs back at their discretion.

From what I can find in Google searches based off that model number its the GSM model.

There are only two models:

1) i515: Verizon USA only. CDMA / LTE (this has the 1850mAh battery)
2) i9250: International. GSM / HSPA+ (indeed has the 1750mAh battery)

also fwiw the batteries are not interchangeable, and neither are the back covers.

I'd hate to deal with an eBay seller on this. Unless you're getting a killer deal, just buy from an importer IMHO.

I just bought it off EBay for $550 flat no tax no shipping. My only gripe is that it came without a US adapter for the charger. I'll be contacting the seller about this. I can charge via USB in the mean time. It just takes a little longer. It seems the battery size listed was merely a typo in the automated listing info.

Well only ones sold directly in Canada would have a US-style Samsung wall charger in the box. Everywhere else would have a different one. Most being sourced from the UK and Korea. So I wouldn't get on the seller too hard about it, as an US adapter would be something extra that wouldn't normally come in the box. Remember, the Galaxy Nexus i9250 was never marketed or sold to the US, so don't expect a US charger

This is kinda what happens when you buy international unlocked phones. Pick up a wall charger for a few $$ online.

They sent me a US-style OEM charger. I left positive feedback upon receipt of it.
