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!!!!

There's nothing more pleasing to me than going home with a beautiful looking box, with a beautiful looking phone inside :P
 
Been lurking on this forum so much, but tonight is just to fast to keep up with. Cant wait to get rid of my OG droid and get the Nexus. I jut figured if i have nothign to add the the conversation im just adding fluff.
I read a few post about preorders today/tomorrow, do they stand any ground?
and what the heck is p3droid blowing up twitter about?
 
Just happend to look at the Advertisements on my Facebook and the VZ add had a Nexus next to the Stratoshpere both with Red Christmas bows on them,, release seams next week!!

I agree, but to some little details like that matter.

Even reviewers sometimes talk about the packaging. I've never understood it, but some like fancy details.

"You know, all of you look much better with this new device, the screen is that good. It makes ugly look beautiful."

Edit: maybe he's talking about the new tablet?

You sure it was an official VZ ad? Sometimes there's some fake advertisers on Facebook :/

I wouldn't know about said ad because I use AdBlock...

For once, AdBlock has failed me! ;)
 
Hmm.

Well, we know that plans aren't tied to contracts, nor are devices. So unless returning the phone for a different phone somehow "resets" the contract, I can't see how this is correct.

IE. You can change phones whenever you would like without modification to your plan given that it supports your current plan. (Can't have an "advanced device" without data, etc)
You can also change your plan whenever you would like given that your phone supports it. IE you can change minutes/features etc.

Neither of those two things seem tied to the contract.

I would consult someone else. I can understand them not wanting to commit to an odd situation. If you worked in the call center you should have some idea what reps can and can't do. I can understand someone not wanting to make you promises that they may not be able to fulfill, but I'm guessing someone can. Retention can normally do things that your regular CSR's cant if it gets to that ... but threatening to cancel over and over garners no favors and in general changes the mood of the conversation.

I have no idea, but I think returning the phone might also return the contract that you got with it.

Maybe someone who's exchanged a phone can help?

If you buy a phone on November 26 and exchange it for a different phone on December 4, does your contract expire on November 26 or December 4?

Also, did you say the rep told you that you have 14 days from activation to return it? We know that's incorrect, so you might want to find someone else to work with.

No official word on anything, but there seem to be a few people who think the 8th looks like a real date. And then there is speculation that there could be a 1st presale.

Again, nothing official though.

You put cat and dog poop in plastic bags, I don't want my phone coming in one. I'll take the Christmas'y red and white bag with a nice white box that says Nexus in it, please. :)
 
I've got a question relating to contracts and plans, and I figure I can probably get better answers here than anywhere else.

Right now I'm on a VZW month-to-month plan. My account manager page says I have unlimited data. Does that apply to both 3G AND 4G? Do I need to worry about this "double data" plan that's currently available?
 
What have I missed, besides P3's obnoxiously teasing/cryptic tweets? :(

Sir, one could also look at your repeated previous release date "shenanigans" as intolerable quirks. Those who live in glass houses and all of that.

You say teasing, I say welcome info.
 
Just negotiated down a sony through an online store (no sales tax) :) :) will purchase when square refunds my purchase price friday. Here it is:

Vaio

Very similar to mine, just a newer version (mine's a year old). It's a nice machine, you should enjoy it.

Nope, no worries. When you buy the GNex subsidized, just don't let them change anything regarding your plan. Your are set.
