Does anyone own a Galaxy Nexus connected to Tmobile USA's HSPA+ network in Chicago or midwest? Was wondering what kind of speed are you getting? Thanks in advance.

it would work with walmart/t-mo plan right? The $30/mo for 5gb 4G data, unlimited text, 100min 
I don't see why it wouldn't. All you need is a sim card and the ability to change your plan to that one. I'd consider that plan myself, but I use too many minutes.it would work with walmart/t-mo plan right? The $30/mo for 5gb 4G data, unlimited text, 100min
It'll be as fast as any other 21mbps HSPA device...

you should be able to use this with simple mobile also. so far, they have the really good deals for non contract service in USA.
Yeah it will; That's what I'm getting tooit would work with walmart/t-mo plan right? The $30/mo for 5gb 4G data, unlimited text, 100min
Already have the sim card (DO NOT BUY AT A "Authorized Dealer" ... they rip you off beyond all reason... I normally avoid them but, for some reason, bought the card from them and paid an extra $15) Btw if you do the math, you can do an extra 400 minutes in overages before you would be going over the $70 price of the Unlimited Everything (5GB of 4G) plan.
So with the $30 plan, you are better off if you use less than 500 mins per month... I use none ...
I think the $30 is worth trying to cut down on the voice anyway, and going with Text or Google Voice as an alternative for unimportant convos
Any problems sending/receiving MMS on T-Mobile US network with the Galaxy Nexus?
I don't think I've ever sent an MMS... ever... Seems rather 1990's, no?
Someone else will have to answer that one.

Why would there be problems? Its a GSM phone guys. Just put your SIM in it....

I'm new to T-Mobile US. I remember reading something about there being issues when importing a GSM phone not distributed by T-Mobile. Maybe it was only related to porting the iPhone to T-Mobile? Can't remember.
What? You think andoid is iphone 2g?

The only issues bringing phones to T-mobile is they often only get 2G service on the network (most quadband phones don't have AWS freq that T-mo use). Other than that, everything works just fine. The Galaxy Nexus is of course pentaband and gets 3G just fine on T-mo.
FWIW there are several hundred thousand iPhones running unlocked on T-mobile right now lol.

do you know about their "unlimited" plan for $60? is it really unlimited or is it like t-mobile's where they throttle your speeds at 2gb or 5gb
I remember with Windows Mobile phones not sold by T-Mobile, to set up MMS you have to manually specify the gateway, server address, and port number to get MMS to work with T-Mobile's network. Is this still necessary? It's been several years since I had to do this so it might not be relevant anymore.
And btw OP, only you can know what the speeds are in your specific location. Even someone within a few miles of you could get quite different speeds because of the load on the tower nearest you.

Nope just plug in your SIM. Might have to specify the network and get the required APN's, but it works just fine, no funny business.
Wait, so do you have to specify the network and APN or not? The "funny business" is exactly this manual specification of the network info.
Most of the time no. It should pull the info over the network and be all set up for you when you put the SIM in. If you find MMS doesn't work, changing APN settings might be required. You only do it once, it isn't a big deal.
