Bought mine off Craigslist from a Google employee who received as a Xmas gift from Google. Wish I worked for them!

Re: Just purchased unlocked nexus from ebay. How well does it wo

i just got one too thru amazon.

I have the AT&T Samsung galaxy S2.
With the S2.. it will always stay on HSPA+

But with the GN, it's jumping back and forth between 3G and HSPA+.
I tested both phones. the S2 will keep the H+ connection. But GN goes back and forth....

I copied exactly the APN from the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S2 and input in the GN.

Is my GN broken???

Did anyone of you give your GN IMEI to AT&T????
Because i just swapped it without doing anything.....

That's normal for it to keep switching like that.

Even if the S2 didn't switch back and forth?
Will it help to provide imei to Att?

You need to switch the imei for data plan reasons.

You need to switch the imei for data plan reasons.

Why is this required? All I did was switch my sim card from my old AT&T phone and put it in my Galaxy Nexus. Am I not going to get my unlimited data plan?

You're IMEI has to match your account. It's one of the first things you do with a new phone. You can do it online. Your data plan should be fine.

Do the Unlocked GSM Galaxy Nexus on ATT runs on LTE?

Please let me know as I am about to go and buy a unlocked GN world phone.

Totally bummed with ATT for not releasing GN at CES.

I got my GN Prime GSM from amazon.com. It does support HSPA+, but not LTE. I put the microsim from my iPhone 4 into an adapter and it fit right in the GN. I am very pleased with the GN and have no intention of returning to the iPhone anytime soon.

Can you please confirm that ALL GN unlocked GSM world phones that are currently available on the market do not support LTE on ATT. Is that correct?

I live in SFBayarea and I know my area has LTE rolled out. So that question is answered. I live in an area where ATT has LTE support.

So if I go and buy an unlocked phone today, put in my ATT SIM into it, will I be getting LTE speeds on it?

Please advice.

YOU WILL NOT GET 4G LTE on an unlocked GSM Nexus on the At&t Network. It doesn't support the bands, nor does it have the correct radio.

Also, the Verizon LTE Device is a CDMA varient, so given the fact that the AT&T LTE network is completely different from Verizon's LTE network, they are not compatible either.

If you want At&t LTE, you must buy a GSII Skyrocket if you want a Galaxy phone to get on their LTE network.

dbdynsty25 - Thank for that note. I went an got S2 Skyrocket as network speed trumped getting the better phone.

Thankfully they did not cancel my unlimited data plan. So I have S2 with unlimited data plan.

Nice...then all is well! Congrats on a nice phone...just picked up the regular S2 for the wife since LTE isn't available out in my part of the woods yet...so she's humming along on the HSPA+ network which is plenty fast for her. LOL.

Anyone having any quirks or issues popping up? I'm tempted to pick one of these up. It's either grab a GSM unlocked or switch to Verizon.

I have absolutely no regrets. GNex and ICS blow away all of my previous iPhones!

The only quirk I had was getting my GSM Unlocked phone flashed to yakju so that it's updated by google and not samsung.

How is the storage on the phone? I'm debating on picking up the 16gb, waiting for the Skyrocket HD, or waiting for the 32gb Nexus.
