Do you have a link to a source stating T-mobile will have it?

No, the OP is either trolling or is seriously confused.
FOR THE TIME BEING GALAXY NEXUS IS A VERIZON EXCLUSIVE. PERIOD END OF STORY, NO IFS AND OR BUTS ABOUT IT.
I REALLY wish people would stop purposefully posting false/misleading information. It REALLY hurts these forums.
geek.com has the article that says the nexus is not exclusive to Verizon per Verizon itself

It is speculation. Where does it say TMobile on the 10th?

Google wouldn't release a cdma/lte phone(takes much longer time and different parts.. just take a look at wimax nexus s) first unless Verizon paid a ton of dough for exclusiveness. The hspa+ version is being released soon in the UK, so at the very least, it will be for tmobile unlocked. I bet it will go farther and subsidized too. Isn't the Verizon one just strong speculation too(given they have the moto razr)? FCC report has one confirmed with tmo bands as well. Probably not gonna be 42mbps though.

NO the Verizon exclusivity for the time being is NOT speculation. It was confirmed on Samsung's Facebook by "Samsung Janel" last week, or maybe it was the week prior.
She confirmed for the time being Galaxy Nexus is a Verizon exclusive. How much more proof do you guys want? It came straight from Samsung.

Exclusive in the US, for now. It will be released in Europe around the same time Verizon gets it, so you will be able to import it if you want, but I would guess it will be on the other US carriers. Maybe Verizon gets a month, maybe three but if Google wants to sell this phone they wont leave it on Verizon for too long. I personally will wait and see but not too long, I will just import it if I have to.

I have a feeling that many of us vibrant users will want to import an intl version that will work with t-mo.. but I haven't been able to find the verified hardware specs for the UK version yet. Intl phones always seem to get better and faster updates, so as a google phone I imagine it would be even better.
I wonder if we could do a group-buy type thing if enough here were willing to import?
It may not release officially from Tmobile but it has their hspa+ bands, so u could easily buy it unlocked and use it for Tmobile, which is what I'm definitely doing and can't frickin wait!

I thought it only has the slower edge bands?!? If the 4g bands were supported I'd consider an import at the right price.
Verizon increases data cap to 4GB!!!!!
Nexus on Verizon 4G LTE with 4GB data cap should work out well.
Does anyone know if I-wireless has any smartphones that have or will be getting the J.b. 4.1 aosp or sense version update or if there's any custom roms on xda for any of the I-wireless smartphones.If there is could you please list the names,model of phone or phones. Thanks in advance!!!

Any Sprint phone should work in theory.
So I could get any sprint smartphone and root & rom it and install J.b. on it.and also I-wireless service should work to operate the phone such as talk,text & web correct?

Call I-wireless and see. Just say you wanna bring on your own phone and see what phones you can put on their service.
iwireless partners with T-Mobile, not Sprint. iwireless is a GSM carrier, so DO NOT put a Sprint load on an iwireless phone. I too am waiting/looking for a 4.1 update on my iwireless Galaxy Nexus, which brought me here.

Here it is Sprint.

Here in Arizona I-wireless partners with sprint.

Sprint may be partners, but that doesn't mean sprint branded phones will work on iwireless. T-mobile may work, because they are affiliates. (T-mobile owns iWireless)
You could always shop around for an unlocked GSM phone. By buying an unlocked/international phone you are able to jump to any carrier with a GSM network and sim card setup. Even though the phone may cost more, it is well worth it. (it also retains its value much better for resale) I am using a international factory unlocked Galaxy SIII on iWireless with no problems.
I recently dropped AT&T to go with iwireless pay-in-advance, went from $102 a month for 450 minutes, unlm messaging, 3gb data to $57 for unlimited everything. Now, hopefully iwireless jumps on getting their hspa+ (3G/3.5G) towers up so I can fully enjoy the service instead of having edge all the time.
So if you were still looking I would check ebay if you want brand new sealed in box, and another site called swappa for used phones. I've personally used swappa, it is a buy/sell/trade for used android phones. A few friends also used swappa and I would recommend the site to anyone. If I'm not mistaken they also have something to do with the CyanogenMod community. HERE is a link.
Let me set the record straight.
i wireless is a T-Mobile affiliate.
HOWEVER,
i-wireless is another affiliate, but of Sprint.
They are two different companies.
http://www.tmonews.com/2012/08/t-mo...unlimited-data-plan-thats-actually-unlimited/
Great news for T-Mobile customers and people that are interested in switching to T-Mobile. Finally another US carrier other than Sprint that offers truly unlimited data. Thoughts?
Yea i think its good but if they lower the price like boost mobile it think more people would switch...
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
I'm wondering for those of us already on unlimited but 4G capped at 2GB, will this apply to us? :good:
I think so. It said on the up sell information that it suggests the T-Mobile employees sell it because it has way more advantages and is only ten more bucks.

anyone know of any good stickies on flashing a Samsung s3, note, or any other new Samsung, or iphone. im curious which prepaid carrier is the best to flash to. and should I try to get a phone with a sim card? just looking for some ideas. thanks
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Are you implying that you currently have a phone on a postpaid plan, and you want to use it on a prepaid plan? What are you thinking of flashing?
well ill put it this way. my friend wants a nice phone on prepaid. doesn't care about cost. he has 2 phones now. one is on straight talk other is on T-Mobile..he wants a nice phone I was curious if anyone has done it and if anyone had any suggestions on what phone to use with what prepaid. like Sprint Verizon or AT&T iphone 4/5 on tmobile or straight talk. or a Sprint galaxy s3...he'll use just about any new-ish phone.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
I guess the 1st decision is what service he wants to go with. Phones are either CDMA or GSM, and not both, with few exceptions (like the new iPhones). So, if he gets a Verizon phone, he can't use it on T-Mobile or AT&T prepaid, and vice versa.
Since cost of the device is no issue, he just has to buy one that's factory unlocked (a.k.a., SIM unlocked).
apologies, I personally have an s3 through Sprint which Ive rooted along with numerous other phones just never did anything of this nature. so I should have him buy a phone that takes a SIM card we'll say and use either straight talk SIM card or tmobile? as an example.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
where would be the best place to buy factory unlocked phones? ebay? and obviously the easiest would be to go the SIM card route
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
If the phone he has/gets is unlocked, he should have no problem swapping the SIM cards, and using the phone on either provider. If you want help mulling over specifics of what particular phone to buy, post it here. You'll get shut down if you start a thread asking what phone to buy.

"Best" is subjective. Some would say to buy it from the manufacturer, as then you would have warranty, return policy, & everything.
well I talked to him and he says he'd prefer to go the galaxy s2 or 3 route. would it be cheaper to buy a unlocked GSM s2? im just confused about the SIM ordeal and what carrier to go with, with what phone. I've tried changing MEID before on a epic to use it on straight talk, which it was CDMA but I couldn't get the MEID to write properly so that was a fail.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, you don't have to deal with that stuff with GSM phones. That whole "flashing to another provider" thing is a CDMA issue. Basically, any unlocked GSM phone will work, with any GSM provider.
Another thing to consider, though, is 4G data speeds. AT&T (and their MVNOs) and T-Mobile (and their MVNOs) use different frequencies for the highest speed cellular data connections. For example, if you buy an AT&T phone and then unlock it, you won't get 4G data speed on Simple Mobile, since Simple Mobile is a T-Mobile reseller. Therefore, even when you've finally decided which phone to buy, you still need to decide which bands you want it to have, based primarily on which service provider you plaln to go with. One exception to this is the Galaxy Nexus HSPA+, which is pentaband, and can be used just about anywhere, at full speed.
nice. any suggestions for iphone? My apologies. just seems those appear to be the cheapest route via ebay for a gsm unlocked one.

I assume you live in Richmond VA. You probably have a choice between T-Mobile or AT&T 3G/4G. T-Mobile is far better than AT&T and the Monthly Prepaid stuff from T-Mobile isn't bad. I like the $30 plan personally.

There's two 30$ plans (the one with 100min, unl texts and 5GB data and a 1500 min/texts and a small amount of data (30MB?? I forget))
You should be specific. The 5GB data one is only available online or at Wal-Mart.
The other one is available in T-Mobile stores.

Richmond Indiana, my apologies. I appreciate all of the suggestions. I can root phones and such no problem, very new to this prepaid & gsm(sim card) stuff, as I have had Sprint for 6 years lol

so I can order a iphone 3g gsm unlocked for like $120 on eBay (or is there a better place to order them?) and it will work with a straight talk sim card? it's for a friend, im not a fan of either xD

What do you guys and gals think? Should I try and sell my note 3and get a Tmo, or trade for a tmobile note. I'm not sure how long it'll take for the bootloader to be unlocked. I'm horrible with patience when it comes to technology. I need some advice and or positive criticism if one feels it's a bad idea. My only concern with buying /trading on craigslist or any other secondhand purchasing option, is getting a phone that may possibly be blacklisted. Thoughts?

If having an unlocked bootloader is that important to you then I'd say DEFINITELY get rid of that AT&T variant note 3 for a T-Mobile variant!! I have the opportunity to get an AT&T variant at anytime for pretty much free but continually refuse the offer simply because the bootloader is locked and much rather wait until I have the $700+ to put out on a T-Mobile variant!

I think I do, I've been corresponding with this guy on craigslist. My of concern again, is the imei blacklist. I don't want to trade phones, then risk having the Tmobile version end up on the gsm blacklist.
