Unboxing

I can't imagine the packaging is going to look that much different. I really doubt it will be an all white box.
 
Hmmm... anyone know when Costco would typically get stock after the corporate stores?

The razr's OK, but I want my ice cream within my 90 day return!
 
I wonder how many pages of this thread will be devoted to banter about the retail packaging? Is it the all white box? Is it like the Euro GSM retail box? Is the white box simply a packaging prototype that hasn't been printed?

Which website, tech blog or message board will be the first to scoop this breaking story?
 
the gsm packaging will have nothing to do with the verizon packaging. verizon is notorious for putting their phones in the smallest boxes they can to save on shipping and take up as little room in their warehouses/store stock rooms as possible.

edit: and the gsm box is way too big with a lot of wasted space, so i can easily see verizon trying to cut down on its size

i think many people here are making mountains out of anthills and maybe they've never seen sleeved packaging before...

as far as i'm concerned... VZW STORES ARE NOW IN STOCK! 12/8 or 12/9 whatever!

Still no proof that verizon has any in stock yet. There is 1 unit that people saw I would not put much faith in that for stores having them in stock now.

They had the Bionic & Razr the same day, my two local stores never received any Rezounds, but you can order them on line...

So, some time between immediately and never.

Give it a few hours. We'll be into whether or not the box is laminated, has a logo, how many tabs it has to open up, number of pieces of tape, if any, the type of cardboard used, if it's recyclable, what the actual hex code for the box color is, whether it converts to a stand, if it's waterproof.... :rolleyes:

I, for one, want to know what the inside of the box smells like.

Just wondering if this confirms that 4.1 will not come at launch?

This is how the end will begin, you all realize? Just like in Invasion of the Body Snatchers, except it'll be via Galaxy Nexus instead of giant seed pods. They'll become all-consuming (like this forum) and unexpectedly take us over, voiding us of emotion as the condition starts to spread until everyone has a dead look in their eyes and-- Waitasec, this does sound familiar. Hasn't Apple accomplished this already? :eek: Funny, considering their Orwellian ad campaign years ago attempting to prevent just such an occurrence!

Carefull!! Due to BB's near movie virginity, all major movie references should be spoiler-tagged
Just kidding! I haven't seen this particular gem either, though I have seen a lot of the old/cult horror flicks!
In a sort of irony within irony, Apple actually began that whole thing in 1984!! complete with newspeak!!:eek:
1984 Apple's Macintosh Commercial - YouTube

Can't forget what the dimensions of the interior and exterior of the box along with the perimeter and if it comes to a perfect right angle at the corners.
