    Wind's Galaxy Nexus

    What other carriers would it work on?

    My cousin wants mine since I may be getting a different phone.
    She's on Rogers/Fido, but MIGHT be also switching to Bell possibly in a few months.
    Wanted to make sure before she bought it from me.

    Thanks.

    Wow no kidding, that's great.

    Why did they do it like that for the Nexus only, why not all phones?

    Does T-Mo even sell the Galaxy Nexus?

    A lot of chips don't support pentaband, so they have to make a choice
    Sent from my Lumia 710 via the HowardForums WP7 App
    The word 'Pentaband' means '5 Bands', from the Greek word 'pente' meaning '5'. For a phone to be pentaband it has to support 5 bands. If the phone has AWS support, it doesn't automatically mean that it is pentaband. The reason Wind and Mobilicity users like pentaband phones is because the reverse is true. We're not the only ones who like pentaband phones though, so please stop referring to phones that work on Wind and Mobilicity as pentaband. It causes unnecessary cofusion.

    There is nothing for them to "work on". Google sells it direct.

    IPhone support that's why. T-Mobile is reforming 1900 MHz for iPhones.
