Unlocked (what's this?)

What is an "Unlocked" phone?

Many cell phones are designed to use a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card to store subscriber data. These SIM cards are issued by the carrier and provide cell service to the phone. "Locked" cell phones will only recognize SIM cards from the carrier that originally provided the phone. Almost every cell phone provided by a US carrier is locked to that carrier’s network.

"Unlocked" cell phones will recognize SIM cards from any carrier using Global System Mobile Communications (GSM) technology. Customers with "unlocked" cell phones are able to use any GSM carrier of their choosing, including "pre-pay" or "no contract" SIM card options. "Unlocked" cell phones also accept international SIM cards that provide discounted rates while traveling abroad.

Google Samsung Galaxy Nexus I9250 Android Smartphone Features



The world's First Smartphone to feature Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and a HD Super AMOLED display.

Ice Cream Sandwich brings an entirely new look and feel to Android. It has a redesigned user interface with improved multi-tasking, notifications, Wi-Fi hotspot, NFC support and a full web browsing experience.

GALAXY Nexus is the first smartphone to feature a 4.65" display with a market-leading resolution of 720p (1280x720), ensuring you can enjoy GALAXY Nexus' immersive entertainment capabilities and fast web browsing in superior clarity.

Succeeding the original Contour Display of Nexus S, GALAXY Nexus comes with a rounded shape that fits perfectly within your palm or to your face for phone calling. Hyper-skin backing on the battery cover improves the ergonomic feel of the device and makes the phone slip-resistant. At just 8.94mm thick, with a minimal 4.29mm bezel, GALAXY Nexus provides superb portability.

GALAXY Nexus also features an ultra-fast 1.2GHz dual core processor, providing superior power and speed, ensuring you can take full advantage of GALAXY Nexus' enhanced multitasking capabilities with ease, or enjoy the large, vivid display to its full capacity with high-definition gaming or video streaming. HSPA+ connectivity combined with a dual core processor delivers high-speed web browsing which ensures you always have the web at your fingertips, wherever you are.

Best Android experience out there.

Brilliant device. Perfect size, super high res, pretty AMOLED display. Great dual-core performance. 4G speed (and GSM compatibility) without the battery life issues of LTE. And, get real, guys--16GB is plenty. Storing media locally is so 2008. Install Google Music, Pandora, Spotify, and stream to your heart's content!

Great phone

No phone can be all things to all people, so it's up to you to select the best phone _for you_. The guy who rated this phone with 1 star just because it does not come with an SD card is laughable at best. Point is: this phone comes with only 16GB of storage, non expandable. But it has the best screen ever in a phone under 5", period. It's also stock Android and comes with the fastest updates directly from Google. Ice Cream Sandwich makes a world of a difference compared to Gingerbread (previous versions), and it's certainly guaranteed to work with (possibly) Jelly Bean. There are many advantages of having a Nexus with this superb screen, with stock system. It's just beautiful. Now it's up to you to see if it's worth the trade-off. For me, it is. This phone is 5 stars (at least closer to 5 than to 4) for its target audience. Because it's not for everyone doesn't mean it can't be a 5 star phone.
