Default Sprint Galaxy Nexus SIM Card

Does it have a removable sim or is it embedded?

Thus far I think all we know is that there's not a removable SIM and that the Evo LTE has an imbedded SIM for LTE and we're kinda assuming that the Sprint Gnex must also have an embedded SIM for LTE then.

Well people have the sprint nexus now. Can someone just remove the back and see?

There doesn't seem to be anything removable but the back and the battery.

It has an embedded sim. Dealing with sim issues right now with an AOSP build.
If you like what I do, buy me a brew!

So much for LTE interchangeability...looks like it will be the same ol' as the CDMA vs GSM thing except with different LTE frequencies/technologies.

i've done lots of searching for this very same answer.

what i've concluded..."embedded sim" means NOTHING. it is the same **** as ESN number verification per carrier.

embedded sim simply means we are giving you 2 serial numbers on your phone to validate in our database. if your phone isn't in our database, we will NOT register your phone.
