Just curious (not argumentative), but why?

I've always liked going to buy a phone and having it in my hands immediately, rather than ordering it and waiting a week for delivery. And it's not that I'm incapable of setting the phone up on my own (though, I've never done it myself - I'm assuming it comes with instructions) - It's always been a convenience thing with me. That being said, ever since I bought my OG Droid(which I'm still using and was set up by a VZW store employee but I've always been too lazy to do a hard reset to try to fix), I've had issues with the way my contacts sync and I'm thinking I might order my next phone and set it up on my own.

Well, its costs more too as one "why" that comes to mind. To each his own preference. Your not alone or there would be no stores.
 
If nothing else, this thread has quality entertainment value while we all sit and twiddle our thumbs waiting on Verizon to release this phone. I, for one, appreciate the entertainment. Now that I know the phone is coming, I find that I have less patience for waiting for it than I did before I knew it was coming. I want it, and I want it now. I feel a little like Veruca Salt, and I hate to be such a brat, but I simply cannot help myself.

Build Quality (Kevlar, Gorilla Glass,Splash Guard, Stainless Steel Chassis), UI (Motocast, Smart Actions etc etc), Aesthetics (in my opinion one of the baddest looking pieces of tech to come along in a long time), I do like the non-removable battery and last but not least 4.0 (when it drops it will level the playing field).

I know it sounds crazy but i just cant stand the aesthetics of the Nexus and how darn cheap it looks (my opinion). It was literaly a deal breaker for me.

CK, I would almost pull the trigger on the RAZR too. But those two things you mentioned are why I will go with the GNex. Knowing that if I needed to I can swap batteries or even do a battery pull. And I have never had a true nexus phone. I want to see what it is like to have immediate updates. I think I am going to miss the build and call quality of moto though. Congrats on your decision, it is not a bad one at all.
