Depends.

Only secret if Rice Crispy treats are offered as a bribe. Otherwise we all talk about you in the thread that it happened in and hide those posts so that everyone can see them but you. :D

Thank you for being the person today to make me spit out my coffee due to unexpected chuckling.

Re: photo of LTE version:Yuck!
first thing I do when I get that phone is start figuring out how to get that frikin' verizon logo off the back

What's so bad about it?! Jeez, some people are so critical of their phones that they want it to be literally 101% vanilla... That just doesn't happen these days.
 
Verizon just needs to release this phone. My cat can't take it anymore.

Were they specifically told it wouldn't be for pre-order tomorrow? Or are they just assuming that since they haven't heard anything it can't possibly be true? ;)

I'd say the latter, but not for sure...the girl that has been texting updates promised to let me know as soon as she knows something...she said she can't wait to get it as well, so who knows.

I know someone with the GSM version. I'm going to have to see if the back cover of GSM version fits on the VZ version. That way we can probably rid ourselves of the branding...

awesome idea, I never thought of that. I bet we start seeing the covers popping up on ebay for a premium - but I just might pay it.

Same here. To be honest I don't mind the people asking to help you when you walk in the store, normally they can help get you out of the store quickly.

I usually tell them I want to buy a phone and I'm on a limited time schedule. (Gotta be at work in 30 minutes) They will almost always get me through the line ASAP and cut out a lot of the random try to sell you xyz stuff.

My favorite was one time the people at front told me to head straight back, and the people in the back told me to check in with the people in the front. I left.

The logo on the back really isn't much of a deal-breaker for me when it comes to the whole "Nexus" thing... the point is there's no manufacturer or carrier customization (well, My Verizon/BUA are a different story).
 
How in the world do you get on online chat started with a Verizon Wireless rep? I've been sitting on the "Smartphones" page for almost 30 minutes and NO ONE shows up to ask if I need help. It's almost logged me off twice due to inactivity.

It doesn't make much a difference to me either. But a lot of people wanted the Google branding.

There should be a talk to someone button (need help?) Somewhere.

Dear Moderators

Not calling anyone out by name, but if you post constant and continuous nothingness please tell me this will get you on double secret probation.

By the way it was so much quieter during school hours.

If you know who you DON'T want to read, just skip them, or take an Evelyn Wood speed reading class and get on with it.........

The Nexus is all on the inside;) Or at least, the most important part.

If the requirements for FINALLY getting a Nexus on VZW included and was limited to their branding on the back- I'll gladly take it. In most cases, you are the only one that is ever going to look at the back of your phone (or look at it intently enough to decipher any branding). If that vanity is important to ya, by all means vent.
