Then your phone is i9023, which is SLCD version, i9020 has SAMOLED screen
What's the difference between the 19020a, 19020t, and the 19023....? Confused. Besides SAMOLED and AMOLED screens is there anything else? Dimension wise I mean

I9023 is a version of i9020T
The i9023 has a super clear LCD screen not a AMOLED
The i9020T is the T-Mobile version which uses the same frequencies as the UK but in the US
The i9020A is the AT&T version which uses different frequencies so to the T so its not compatible with T mobile Sims or on the UK
Fyi its a AMOLED, SAMOLED wasn't out when nexus s was released

I'm in the UK and about to buy the nexus s, just sold my xperia x10 (I will never buy an se phone), I want the SAMOLED version, is there any way of telling which is which?
Thanks.
I went through this recently. If the model is a 9023 variant then I believe it's Super LCD. If it's a 9020 variant then it's probably Super AMOLED. But be sure to explicitly ask the seller before you buy. I bought one on eBay which was decsribed as SAMOLED and when it arrived it wasn't and there was a big argument about taking it back, even though he'd wrongly advertised it.

thank you very much for your reply. I'm thinking of getting one on eBay. so if you go to settings, the model number should be GT i9020?
Check the serial : 9023 is slcd always. I'd go with that better battery life...

As far as I know the only difference between the i9020 and i9023 is the display. So they're practically the same.

I'm considering buying this phone outright to replace my vibrant and was wondering wich one I should get...pros/cons.
Never tried the international vers with the exynos processor but the tmobile version is definitely a beast and the data speeds are ridiculous. I would suggest getting the tmo version. Also you would probably be able to get the tmo version cheaper.

if you are going to use it in Tmobile, you will need the Hercules version
the international version will not get you 3G in Tmo

T-Mobile told me that the 3-4g data was compatible and that everything would work fine so long as it is unlocked.

Nope, T-Mobile and the Telus version are the only ones that support T-Mobile's 42mbps. The only good I have heard about the International version is that it has a better processor than ours and that the software is free of lag. Our phone has a slight lag, but nothing major. Its hard to explain because our phone feels so fast, but every once in a while you'll get an occasional stutter. That minor issue seems like its just software based so it should be/can be fixed.

What about our 3g bands?
The exynos processor is a beast. My lady has the att gs2 and its pretty snappy but there's not much noticeable difference. I'm super happy with my gs2 and the snapdragon s3 is no slouch.

3G and 4G will not work. I just sold my white i9100 because I use T-Mobile. If you've never had the i9100 you'll be fine but if you ever hold them side by side, you'll be sorry you did. The exynos runs circles around ours in real world use. But really, if you're T-Mobile and have never had the i9100 you'll love it.

I kinda figured that,and is one of the reasons I made this post.....I am curious as to how many different customer service agents I could ask that, and how many different answers I'd get
I strongly suggest the international version. Sure the T-Mo version has a bigger screen and higher data speeds, but the screen also has a lot of issues (manufacturer's fault, there are dark blobs and lines all over the place in gray and black areas), and the data speeds are not going to make much of a difference, trust me, especially if you're in an area with really good service. Plus the Exynos blows Snapdragon out of the water with overall performance, as well as benchmark scores. Plus if anything, it will be much easier to sell.

Only touchwiz rom is free of lag since its hardware acceleration gingerbread roms are not hardware accelerated. It's hard to make a single core lag with a proper kernel and software enhancements on gingerbread. Once we get ics it lag will be virtually invisible on all devices.

It looks like T-Mobile are adding support for more frequencies. Does this mean we can maybe use the international model to pick up 3G now?

It comes down to hardware , the Exynos cannot get TMO 4g speeds it is not capable, but it is a "faster" CPU, so if you want 4g speeds now or in the future the Exynos in the international is not going to work regardless of the frequency.
This is the reason that the TMO version has the Snapdragon.
Get Galaxy Nexus from Verizon instead. I love my TMO SG2 but ICS is so siccckkk on the Nexus and Verizon LTE is no slouch.

I would (very heavily) lean towards getting the Pentaband GSM version Galaxy Nexus. It's a world phone AND it can be used on T-Mo's network. Why limit yourself to Verizon??

Good point but you can get the GN on contract with Verizon for $299 but you cant with TMO or AT&T right now. You have to pay full price.

The T-Mobile GSII if you'll be using T-Mobile. I like the shape of the I9100, too, but no 3G/"4G" is the ultimate dealbreaker especially on a $600+ phone. There is also the GSM Galaxy Nexus which has T-Mobile 3G AND the slightly higher resale value. I wish more OEMs would build phones supporting AWS bands. HTC does this with most of their newer phones. Samsung does so but only at the behest of Google, it seems. Motorola and Sony-Ericsson should follow suit. Didn't mean to go off topic but that's just my $.02...

Example I9020/23 (Nexus S - Int.) is not for SWH-200k (Nexus S - Anycall)? Hope someone answer before I buy this phone and forbid me of forever blaming my self on buying Wrong Phone to be modded at.
Go for it. I am currently using stock jelly beans on same model and custom ROMs can also be flashed.

Are you using the SHW-M200K? So can I root it the way that the GT-I9020 does? And all the CWM and Custom-ROMS , does it works? I don't want to spent hours to unbrick my phone again.
And can you show me instruction link to rooting the SHW-M200K
