What is the difference between these models? Do they all have the same processors? I ususally buy my phone out right, root them and then use my AT&T network. I have been using my Note 1 for 18 month now. I am happy with it, but just saw the 6.3 Mega at a AT&T store and love it. I have checked Amazon and Ebay. I know i want the 16gig model. Just not sure what is the difference between the 3 models listed. I know the 9152 has dual sim capabilities. But besides that, are they all LTE capable? $149 for the Mega at the AT&T store is not a bad price for the phone.

Only the AT&T one will offer you LTE. That's why I bought it.

But if you don't want to extend the contract, you can definitely buy the international one, provided you're grandfathered in the unlimited smartphone data plan and also if you don't mind not getting LTE but frankly hspa+ is more than enough speed to watch youtube netflix and so on, and so on

yes sorry WCDMA , and they only give me 137.80 for it :/ not enough for a used galaxy.
I'm confused what the GSM galaxy nexus will offer over the GS II. Don't they both use the same HSPA+ / WCDMA frequencies, if you get the GSM version?
Regardless I think you will be extremely lucky if you can find a way to swap a Galaxy S II for a Galaxy Nexus. If you ever do find a way that by some miracle gets you a GSM Galaxy Nexus for a i777 straight over, do let us know.
XDA does have a marketplace forum for buying, selling, and trading.

I don't have a CDMA network to use the phone right now its just sitting there. I have verizon thus my need for a GSM phone. I know it does but with the new restrictions I cannot post or even look at the forum :/
I think your confused. You cant use any GSM phone on Verizon. Unless maybe its unlocked? Verizon is CDMA. Along with Sprint. GSM can be used with ATT and T Mobile. i777 is for ATT. Unless you have the International version i9100. Then you should be able to put a T Mobile sim in it.

Yes, you need a CDMA/LTE Galaxy Nexus for Verizon. The i777 will not work on Verizon.
None of AT&T's LTE phones will work on Verizon, even if unlocked. What AT&T calls 4G that isn't LTE, their HSPA+, is also referred to as WCDMA, plus their 3G is called WCDMA, but its not CDMA like Verizon or Sprint. If that wasn't confusing enough both AT&T and Verizon use 700 MHz LTE, but they are not using the same section of the 700 range so they are not interoperable. Unlike EDGE (2G) that is interopeable on AT&T vs T-Mobile. And some regions of AT&T and T-Mobile use the same 3G frequencies, so some 3G phones have limited functionality on both GSM networks.
Basic rule of thumb, for best results get a phone specifically made for your carrier.

Yeah it was a gift so i didnt really have a say in it. but thanks for the info none the less
I just brought the price down to 300 on swappa incase anyone is interested.
These phones aren't going to sell for nearly what they could a few months ago sadly. U can grab one for almost nothing nowadays by signing up for new contract. I got mine for a hundred. But u see them for as low as 25 bucks.

I got mine for a penny during Black Friday on Amazon. I've seen people asking $400-$500 for a GS2 on Craigslist, though.

Thats all really, I cracked the screen on my S3 and as only I would, I just ordered another contract to get a new S3.. but I heard that all new 3 models will now be 4G compatible/ready?
Is this the case? I ordered mine from 3 mobile.

No, not all.
If you want a 4G S3, make sure you get the I9305 model. This also comes with 2GB RAM.

Thanks, thats what I thought. I just heard that all future models will be 4g ready. It doesnt matter anyway, there is no 4G signal in my area yet anyway.. although they have 3 EE shops open in the town centre, I find that bizarre when no one in redditch can get a 4G signal !!
Well here in Coventry there is about 10EE store just in the City Center yet 4G isnt available here either.
Its because EE has replaced all Orange and Tmobile stores.

Hi Guys,
Canadian here looking to purchase the T-Mobile version outright as it supports AWS HSPA (something which has not been hacked / enabled on the other variants yet).
Anywhere in the US to purchase from that won't gouge too much on pricing. T-Mo sells for $580 outright but not sure if any locations will simply sell outright for this price.
Thanks
Stores will sell it outright for $610 plus tax
I wasn't able to get one from the store, so I bought one on eBay. It was a premium, but I had to do it if I wanted an HTC One because the 30 day return policy on my iPhone 5 was running out.
You can't find it in Amazon?

i bought mine with T-Mobile on the phone. I got it in about a week. I paid about 633 with taxes and shipping. hope that helps
Brand new, unlocked T-Mo from Craigslist. $520 yesterday. Not reported stolen and works fine on ST AT&T/ and TMo $30 prepaid. 4G on both because it's Pentaband.
Go to a Wal-Mart site and you can buy one outright with no account

Anyone know the difference between the canadian version of the galaxy mega i527m and the US AT&T version i527. Honestly I am new to android and wanted to buy one of these phones. Being a noob I assumed there was only one north american version. I am canadian so I ended up buying one from a ebay seller in canada, who's auction shows what looks to be a canadian device according to the photos of the box and model number, so I ended up buying it and am currently waiting for its arrival, but then soon after I bought it, I read on here about someone who bought one from the same ebay seller and received a brand new unlocked AT&T version. So if this ends up being the case for me as well, will the AT&T version work the same for me on my canadian carrier Telus? Will I be able to use the Telus LTE network for data? What other differences would their be?
Thanks in advance
The m version has the extra 1700mhz lte band in order to make it compatible with robelus' lte network. I don't think that you will get lte with the sgh-i527 version.
I almost did the same thing as you until I figured it out. So, I bought it locally in canada instead.

If I were to pay "full price", as in $600-$650 or whatever, what is usually the best place to buy the phone, when something like warranty is considered?
Looks like Best Buy and Amazon don't sell it.
I'm considering getting the TMO S5 to use on my AT&T plan (grandfathered unlimited data).
If the TMO S5 gets TWRP recovery then I'm definitely in.
since you're looking for a TMO S5, have you tried a TMO store?

I don't know if this will help you but I purchased my Note 3 from TMOBILE but had to buy a TMOBILE PLAN (they said they couildn't just sell me a phone. So I bought the phone online and when it came in the mail - I cancelled the tmobile data plan aft, before I activated the line. Because I never activated the line, I didn't have to pay any fees - beyond the cost of the phone. The only other thing you have to worry about is getting an unlock code for the phone - Tmobile may or may not give the code to you - in which case you can probably buy it online - or it might be possible that Chain Fires Region Fix will work as well. (that is what happened on the NOTE - the region fix also unlocked Tmobile CARRIER. (it is also possible that secret samsung codes will unlock carrier (The S4 has codes that work for that phone - I don't know if they work on the S5)
I hope this helps... (I think I read that some people were able to buy a phone from TMOBILE for use on ATT and they purchased it directly from the TMOBILE store - but I am not for sure about that. I know that Best Buy will not let you do that.
The code to unlock the phone was fixed in future versions of the software and don't work on the 4.4.2 s4 software.
I doubt that it will work on this one.
If you are going to continue using AT&T you should be able to go into one of their stores and buy one out right.
It shouldn't impact your account if you do.
May as well buy the international version.

Dang, does Amazon, BestBuy and no other major retailer out there offer this phone?
I want to stay away from eBay because of warranty concerns.
