“GT-I9250M” Nexus Prime found in Wi-Fi Alliance Database, possibly heading to Canada

By on October 15, 2011 at 11:41am in Mobile News


The anticipated hype behind the upcoming Nexus Prime/Galaxy Nexus is climbing and all eye will be on the official reveal of this “pure Android” next week. Although there has been no talk of this Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich device coming to Canada, a tiny – and very unavoidable – hint has shown itself in the Wi-Fi Alliance database. Similar to other Samsung devices that arrived on our shores, the Galaxy S (GT-I9000M) and the Galaxy S II (I9100M), the “GT-I9250M” has surfaced in the database with a certification date of October 13th, 2011. This is this Galaxy Nexus model and “M” could mean that it’s destined for our Canadian carriers.

Hopefully good news will come to us in a few days.

    • The Nexus S had a different model number for Canada and AT&T. GT-I9020T – T-Mo frequency (Probably the one for Videotron)
      Model: GT-I9020A – ATT and Bell-Telus-Rogers

      There could be different versions with and without LTE for Canadian and ATT frequencies. Also some early rumors stated that there might be some versions with keyboards…

      We’ll see soon enough

  4. the m models generally denote North American bands. The last couple have included two north American bands and may or may not include any Asian hspa bands

    • Never mind about the M. just checked android police site and

      “The “M” at the end of “GT-I9250M” means that this version is destined for Canada, just like the Canadian versions of the Galaxy S (GT-I9000M) and the Galaxy S II (I9100M).”

  15. I just got off the phone with Bell, it’s upgrade time for my wife and she wants a white s2 so I thought I would see what kinda deal they could do for us. When she asked about me ( it’s upgrade time for me too) and I said that I wanted to wait to see what’s going on with the new nexus she very quickly said that the talk around there is that they are getting it in november. It’s funny cause she then started back tracking as if she was not supposed to say anything, but then brought it up again later in the conversation. Meh.

    hopefully this is true, but i would take it with a grain of salt as in my opion how would anyone at a call centre know anything about the release date for the prime.

    • I worked for ATT call center in all departments of sales, we would get internal release docs, sometimes months ahead of time, we knew the infuse was coming well before it came out on the network, so im sure that the canadian call centres are the same so likely a november release date in canada if thats what the bell rep said is a very likely possibility.

  17. It seems that bell will be getting this cause the “M” model of the GS2 is the only M Model in Canada. Just my opinion *shrugs*

  21. Most likely if the Prime does come to Canada (looks like it will) all carriers will get it right away. Wind and Moblicity might be delayed but the big 3 will for sure get it at the same time when it does come to Canada. 2 more days until announcement can’t wait!
