It's apparently messier than that --- the imported GSM phones are showing up with several different builds, only one of which is the official Google version. (And some of the variant builds are not getting official Google updates, most notably for the "volume bug" that was reported on early shipped units.)
It seems to be possible to reflash the official Google build onto units that shipped with some of the variants (some xda-forum posters have reported success), but it might pay to wait a few days for this to settle out before ordering if you're really worried about this.

- tesseract 15y agoI have an imported GSM Galaxy Nexus. It updated itself to ITL41F which, to my understanding, is the build that fixes the volume bug. Out of curiosity, is there a straightforward (i.e. without unlocking the bootloader) way to check whether I have a "Google build" or a "Samsung build"?
- snotrockets 15y agoLook at the build fingerprint -- it contains the name of the software configuration. Yakju is Google's (ref: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/android-building/Ld5FoFinN7k/bDfZo_eFwZkJ https://groups.google.com/d/msg/android-building/Ld5FoFinN7k...) To get the build fignerprint, use adb to cat /system/build.prop, or getprop ro.build.fingerprint
