T-Mobile and Google Edition the same thing? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Forgive my ignorance here, I haven't owned a nexus device since the galaxy nexus (toro) and my last 3 devices were the Note 2, S4 and HTC One, which are completely different worlds from a Nexus.
Secondly I do apologize if this has been asked and answered before but I just traded my phone in (HTC One) and switched from Verizon to T-Mobile and got the Nexus 5....are all hammerhead ROMs the same or should I be on the look out for specific ROMs for the T-Mobile version only?

I looked yesterday and did not see it. It must've been a few pages back. What is the big deal? You had to comment? People are willing to help others even if its a silly question. I am one of those people as you can tell by my number of thanked posts...I expect the same courtesy no matter what the question, big or small. It did not harm anyone.

You'd have been better served to hold onto the HTC One during your switch and sold it yourself. They were only offering up $120 credit for trade in, and the phone still pulls upwards of $300.
I made the switch this past weekend, and selling the phone outright took care of the ETF VZW will charge + put an add'l $100 in my pocket.
Moot point now, I suppose, but hopefully for anyone else looking to take advantage of T-Mo's deal, make sure you know the value of your phone!

Verizon versions (if any) didn't have sim as they were 3g only. To answer your question - I don't see why they wouldn't work. Cheapest place to get a Charge would be eBay, Craigslist, maybe Amazon. Beware of bad IMEIs.

The Nexus One was never on Verizon, closest thing was the OG DInc. The Nexus S was also never on Verizon, it's closest comparison being the Fascinate.
To answer the original question though, yes, a MicroSIM adapter will work fine. However, I have heard of people having issues with the ones that they buy from Amazon or other stores. I made an adapter out of an old SIM card and I can use both my Nexus and Charge.

You probably aren't going to find it much cheaper than that. It is still a quality device, and short of finding someone local via craigslist wanting to dump the device, you aren't going to find it for to much less.

Verizon is not the same phone and you need to sign up for two years. I think it is a good deal, but that is me.

If you guys are still selling your phones, I would recommend putting an ad up on your local craigslist. Before I dove into the root world and unlocked my SG4G to its full potential, I posted an ad up to sell my phone for $200 and got all kinds of offers. This was about two months ago.
Sad to see many people moving away from this phone. Although I do believe it is becoming outdated, I still think its a great phone nonetheless. I'm personally holding onto it because I will be spending a year abroad and have already unlocked it for international use.
Best of luck.
I'm trading for an hd2 and beats!

LG/Huawei makes low end phones so the phones they have on here either have to be popular and or high end smart phones. U might wanna google what your looking for or u can look in the android dev section and goto the android software development and hacking.

I sold this phone and bought a S3, the second day I had it. I already had a T Mo Note but wanted a phone to have to mess around so I thought that would be a good one. Ended up selling it for 250 and paid another 200 for an S3. Going to be selling both to get a Note 2. Thanx anyways.

Moving on to the Galaxy Nexus

Hey guys. I'm probably not a well known user, but I wanted to say that I'm moving on to the galaxy nexus.
I found a good deal here in Mississauga for only 400 for an unlocked HSPA+ version. I just got it today at noon and I've gotten pretty impressed with the speed, smoothness and stability of this phone. The screen is also HD and has better colors. The camera actually looks a bit better although its only 5 mp. I'm pretty happy with my choice.
Again, I'm not leaving the g2x community, I'm just using the gnex as my main phone now. On the other hand, I can't wait for the g2x to get a fully working ICS port.
Again, I hope the best for the fate of the g2x. I'll be there to witness and experience evey moment. I hope you had a good time reading this. Have a good day/night.

Yeah, taxes were included and the phone was brand new. The box was unopened and the plastic covers were on the screen and on the back. The sticker was on the box and it didn't look like it had been tampered with. Everything was in the box and it was wrapped in a thick plastic with Samsung branding. There were no scratches or marks so the phone was probably brand new.

Then it'll get shoved off when it's time for judgment has come.
I just don't see a point in people coming into a thread just to bash someone when it's not even a big deal.
If you REALLY don't care, then just stay out of it and let the mods deal with it. Let the man leave and be happy with his new phone.
Obviously not directing that at you, buru.
I have also bought a Galaxy Nexus and a Galaxy S II X, and one of them will replace my WIND branded P999DW. Thus my P999DW will be for sale very soon now.
I haven't received my GN yet as it is still in the US, but so far the S II X seems very nice.
WIND has no updates and the official OS is 2.2 still. It is sad as a flag ship model costing $445. when I bought it 11 months ago.
