After much suffering with VM's Optimus V and a little penny-pinching budgeting, I've decided that I deserve an upgrade to the Galaxy Nexus. I've just about pulled the trigger, but before I do, a few questions.

1. Probably going to go with T-Mobile's $30/month plan. Am I correct in assuming that all I have to do is insert the SIM card into the Galaxy Nexus, follow some simple online instructions and I'm good to go? Knowing me, I just want to make sure I'm not missing a not-so-obvious step here. :downs:

2. Can anyone recommend a good case for the Galaxy Nexus? I'm a sucker for a pretty case.

Simple stuff. Thanks, goons.

That's how it works in theory.
Sounds good -- at worst, it's nothing a quick phone call can't fix. :)

Cruzerlite. :shepface:
These look slick, and they're pretty much exactly what I was looking for! Went ahead and bought the purple case.

Thanks to both of you. I'm excited as hell for this phone to get here.

You're only eligible for T-Mobile's $30/mo plan if you sign up for it online (at T-Mobile.com) or if you buy a new phone from Walmart and activate it through them. Walmart requires you to activate one of their pre-paid phones, but T-Mobile does not.

Ignore Wal-mart completely -- buy a SIM card straight from T-Mobile.com, then stick it in your Nexus S and activate it online. That's what I did with my Galaxy Nexus (thanks to this thread!) and I was ready to go in about 10 minutes. :)

It's really simple and it's a great plan.

Got my Nexus 4 today, and it's pretty slick. I was also pleasantly surprised how easy T-Mobile made switching SIM cards; the phone call with their support took two minutes.

Something tells me the lack of an SD slot is going to suck a little down the line, but the phone and T-Mobile prepaid have been great so far. :)
