Now that Google/Samsung and even Verizon have officially announced the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, does anyone know if this will be the first 4G LTE device that is capable of globa-roaming on GSM?
I was ready to get the iphone4S due to lack of the galaxy sii on verizon and my need for global-roaming, but if the galaxy nexus is to be the 1st with this spec, then I would be willing to wait...

I would like to know if the Galaxy Nexus will be global ready as well. I think I saw something a while back and do not think it is going to be global ready on Verizon. There is a GSM version of the phone out in Europe but I don't think Verizon is going to have the global phone available.
No.
For those who are traveling overseas and need to use their Samsung Galaxy Nexus abroad, you will not be able to use the towers/roam in areas like Turkey and United Kingdom. However, that did not prevent me from being able to access Wi-Fi networks. I was at my in-law's home in Turkey, charged my phone which I could not use to call people, but I was able to use Wi-Fi and receive emails. I turned on my Skype app and was able to see my brother-in-law downstairs. I had been told by Verizon Wireless representative that I would not be able to access Wi-Fi with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, so I was going to temporarily switch to my old Windows based GSM phone, but did not have time to do this before my trip.
