Good morning Nexicans
I'm about to order a TPU case, and sorry if this was asked 83000 times but which one do you think looks (or will look) the best with the Verizon LTE model? Glossy or Matte (and Black or Smoke?)? Thanks for your opinions I'm just really indecisive

I'm holding out for the glitter smoke

WTH?

Meh.

I doubt we get anything SGN related today, guys. Probably not til tomorrow morning.

That is my feeling as well

Has anyone gone into a corporate store this morning? According to the leaked email, there should be new displays/posters up, no?

Not till closing.

As someone who is red-green colorblind, I suggest we use different colors

We can figure out a way to accommodate, traffic light style. Posts in red at the top of a post. Posts in green, put a whole bunch of blank spaces to start your post, then the news at the bottom. Seems to work on the road.

Look at the second bullet.

Thanks!

COME ON NEXUS!

Still seems VZ is keeping their CSR's like mushrooms. At least my CSR at the local corporate shop said "Yeah we have a ton here. I'll put one aside."

Here's to hoping it drops tomorrow!

It would be awkward to walk into a Verizon Wireless store with Galaxy Nexus posters on the windows and a customer service rep telling you that he/she doen't know anything about the phone.

Glossy looks terrible IMHO, and I chose matte smoke so I could still see the logo underneath

So my boss asked me what I need the day off for tomorrow (still trying to get me in to work). I told him we are expecting a new addition to the family.

He was surprised. "A baby?" he asked.

"No," I said. And smiled.

He smiled back, although uncertainly.

Idiot.

I agree. They still want to keep the option open to delay again.

I gather from the leaked document that we won't see signage or demo units on the floor till Thursday.

Do these typically get put up by COB the night before? Just curious for if I'm at my store tomorrow before they open, it would be reassuring to look inside and see a few Nexus posters up while I wait.

At opening this morning, I went to a corporate VZW store in MoCo Maryland (just outside DC) and asked the manager about the GNex.

Me: So can I get a GNex yet?

Manager: We just don't know when it will be out... but I'm still hoping for end of the year. We just had a meeting last night and we still don't know. You know as much as I do.

Options:
1. He is not following along with corporate communications and honestly doesn't know about the release even though everyone else does.
2. He is intentionally hiding the ball.
3. The phone has been pushed back again.

I almost pulled the trigger on the TPU case last night, but decided against it. I just don't like cases. I think she'll go naked for the forseeable future. If I drop her once, I might get scared enough to slap a case on her. But I doubt it.

I went with the matte black because the smoke still shows the VZW logo on the back,its semi transparent lol...

That's funny

I cannot believe the size of this thread. I pity the fools who say, in the future, "Let's try to beat the Gnex thread!"

Will. Never. Happen.

Unless we're all in it, of course.

:rolleyes:

I'm finally starting to get excited for the release.

Wonder if there is a way to "debadge" the VZ logo...

Almost 10, come on VZW!
