Whoaaaaa, that's just the quickstart guide, but nice find!

Don't get too excited...that isn't the guide for the LTE version.

On the topic of boxes, what variations (if any) do you guys think will appear on the Verizon box? Besides the Verizon logo on the back (alongside Samsung and Google) and the altered side profile on the sides of the box...

Time for a yuengling and bed. Hopefully I wake up to a pre order.

Now that is a great beer that I wish I could get where I live. Enjoy it my friend!

Verizon likes black/grey/red boxes!

I wouldn't be opposed to a sweet Black box with some nice Red lettering on it.

So BB, you'll PM me if something happens, right? No way I can stay up that late and get up at 5 a.m. for work.

Of course I will. Ugh, 5 am is so early.

OK please don't update the OP everytime they do with a possible new release date it goes south.
I believe it jynx's us

Do you guys seriously care about the box? Mine can be brown cardboard for all I care. Just want what's inside!

I honestly don't care if it comes in a brown paper bag.

Yuengling is by far my favorite mass produced beer. They have an awesome brewery tour as well.

Or, as my husband calls it...o'dark thirty. Either way, it's the butt-crack of dawn (no pun intended) and nobody should have to get up that early. It really puts a damper on my social life....which I don't have since this phone was announced. :eek:

Would be pretty sweet too if they made a black box but put that red green yellow blue border found in the GSM version box. What can I say, every detail counts haha

but threatening to cancel over and over garners no favors and in general changes the mood of the conversation.

I actually never emphasized canceling, I figure if they're any good at their job they'd realize I have a lot of phones out of contract and I'm not happy.

Hopefully the promo will just go on until the release.

ok guys, need contract advice.
I am now off-contract as of last month. since I have been saving for the Nexus since June - due to the delays, I actually have enough to buy it outright and stay off contract. I do have unlimited data, but I understand this would be grandfathered in if I go back on anyway.
So would anyone advise me to stay off contract and buy it full price? I am almost sure I will be with verizon for as long as I have my current job since we get a corporate discount.

doesn't make sense to buy it. You could get it on contract for the discount then opt out and go to another carrier next summer for the gs3 and still pay less. Plus verizon doesn't remove the subsidy from your account even if you own the phone.

That would be bizarre, considering the Nexus/Google color scheme (red, green, blue, yellow) and the fact that ICS is primarily turquoise-based.

vespadaddy · Nov 30, 2011

Guess what I just picked up tonight? Yeah!

Yep, a 5 gallon keg of Moylan's Kilt Lifter Scotch Ale, on closeout for $39!

Sandroidfan · Nov 30, 2011

Wow, Aaron's review of Gnex at phonedog really blows. It's the most negative one I saw on it. I wonder if he's got a bad one.

I have a feeling it won't look much different than this.

BTW found an interesting analysis of the UI features in ICS:

Do you guys prefer clear plastic bags holding the phone and charger... or slightly tinted ones? How about the tape on the box? Brown or clear? I actually am hoping for white twisty ties... the black ones are unsightly. Are you guys kidding me!!!!
