Nice...but your pic requires binoculars to see...
How much was it?

And isnt the verizon version suppose to be thicker?

Too blurry to see. I hope this means we won't have different cases for the lte and gsm version. I was worried this would make finding accessories a pain in the ass. I don't usually use a case but it's nice to have around.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

I believe the LTE version is .5mm thicker, but the cases should be pretty universal...

Sorry guys but pic was taken on the move. I'm at a party now. Will try to take a better one later or tomorrow morning. I'm to drunk to right now. Lol. But. It's a perfect fit, trust me

30 bucks.. worth it though

Went by a local Verizon store tonight. Asked about cases and screen protectors. Pulled my GNEX out to reinforce what I was asking about.
Blank stares followed by "uh, no we don't carry them" comments. Basically they acted like they saw something from the future and had no clue.
Op , were they on the floor or did you have to ask them to "check the back?"
I may try a few other stores tomorrow.

I got the black silicone case and 3pack of screen protectors. The case is meh...but the screen protectors are actually pretty nice!
They didn't have the accessories "on the floor"...had to ask for them. Man did I feel elitist after they gawked for a good 10 mins playing with my nexus..lol

So you just ask if they have accessories for a phone that has not been announced and they go to the back, get them, and sell them to you?
Just sounds suspect. Did you basically tell them you know they have them and ask to buy? Like "I know you guys have accessories for this phone but don't have the phone yet but look I have a GSM one and want to buy the screen cover/case. Thanks."
I'm sure it sounds like an obvious question but when I tried yesterday they instantly said "nope we have nothing of the sort" while I feel they had some in the back...almost like they were't allowed to acknowledge them or sell them.

So no on the dock then?

Please tell me why i would have a reason to lie? the original employee acted like he did not know, i then asked for the manager. Manager s a fellow Android enthusiasts and i guess sympathetic. Truth is all Verizon regional managers have one and have bee holding trainings with the stores on the phone and ICS. He even went on to tell me theres is coming the 8th/9th. Most likely that Thursday.Displays,paperwork and accessories are already in store. Original launch ws supposed to be Thanksgiving midnight, but was cancelled. If he was bs'ing me IDK. but it all falls in line with the rumors online

Whoa man chill out. When did I say you lied? I just said getting accessories for an unreleased phone is hit or miss.
I've visited 4 Verizon stores in Utah today and all are mum about cases and screen protectors for the GNEX. I'm 0 for 4 and just wanted to know what the magic word was that convinces them to sell these accessories to you because nothing is working for me.
Sheesh.

im sorry i did not mean to come off like that.. Maybe it was the fact that i went in there with a not going to take a no for answer attitude. Try walking in a saying " I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus from overseas. I know it is going to be an exclusive here with you guys. I was told when i called that you had accessories in stock in preparation for your DEC 8TH release. I would like to buy one now.. Thanks" then show him the phone and my video if ya like

Actually its more like some reps/managers are so snooty they dont want to bother going to the back because the commission is not big enough. Try buying a phone and see how much they bend over.

Nexus 4 anyone?

Anyone considering selling their t989 and switching to the Nexus 4? With the N4 only $300, and our phones still going for $250-$300 on eBay, I see no reason not to.

I am, I don't like this phone. Not sure if I am taking that route though. I can't even get it to sell on Craigslist. Mines perfect condition, no scratches anywhere not even on the screen and kept in the D30 case. :/ oh well, any Nexus sure beats this phone.

I have mine listed on Ebay right now actually at 260 and it has a bid. Includes case and 8 gig card. I'll be happy to shell out roughly 100 extra for the 16GB nexus 4 after it sells. I didn't think to Sim unlock mine, but seems like the Sim unlocked ones are selling for a bit more if you're planning on listing it.

Agreed that I won't be noticing that big of an upgrade, but no offense to the Devs for this device, generally nexus phones have tons more support in development.
I've had this phone since launch and this phone and the Devs just keeps getting better and better. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HARD WORK.

Funny you brought this up,
I used to own a HTC Sensation 4G. I got it for $180 and it was only 2 month old. I used it for 4 months and realized a few issues with it.
1. Sense sucks (I hate it and Sense on the Sensation is buggy)
2. Getting it S-OFF is difficult and I almost bricked it attempting so I never tried it again.
3. Charger is in a dumb place (on left side of phone)
4. HTC would not confirm a Jellybean update (made me feel like it wasn't getting it)
So I decided to part with it. I always wanted a Nexus for the stock Google experience. I wanted a LG Nexus 4 but didn;t want to wait nor pay $300+ for a phone with no expandable memory. But one day I was browsing craigslist hoping to find a used Galaxy Nexus ( Hard to find in my area ) and I found a guy selling a S2. He had it listed for $300 new in box. I thought to myself "That's not a bad deal since T-mobile wants $450 retail". So I set up a meeting with the guy. The phone was used but hardly. No scratches and all the wrapping on it minus the screen protector. It was a 9.9/10 only because it had been used. So I low balled the guy hardcore offering him $200 cash. HE TOOK IT! So now I own a Clean ESN, still under warranty, like brand new, Galaxy S2. I am glad I made this decision.:laugh: And plus Samsung already confired it would get Jellybean. I am happy

That's strange really cuz I use SKYPE on my n7. We must be able to get wifi calling working too...
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

I'm seriously thinking about the Nexus 4. I love the pure Android N7, which increases my temptation (makes me want an N10 too!). The lack of TMO wi-fi calling is a problem though, as I live behind a bit of granite, so my call reception sucks at home. I work from home and my mobile is my primary work phone. Gotta be able to make and receive calls.
I've just been looking at cell signal boosters and what S2s & MyTouch 4Gs are going for on eBay. Might pass the S2 to my daughter and sell her crappy MT4G. Then I'll probably switch to a TMO Value Plan and save some monthly $$. I think I'm going to try a cell booster this week. If that works, I'll probably go for the N4 one way or another.

I'm dumping this t989 asap. I can still sell it for 200-300 beans easy. The Nexus 4 is an upgrade in evey conceivable way. I sold my Nexus S 4g for this phone and I regret it. Can't wait to be aboard the Nexus train again. It's gonna be a great ride.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium

Well might as well put my two cents in on this. as i spent today thinking about selling my phone on ebay and buying it as well. But then i realized alot of things about the phone that i dislike that i never knew until i dug deeper. Just a few things, that helped me in my final decision to wait till official jelly bean for sgs2. It will improve our phone quite a bit i believe.
1. no wifi calling, other then some free app that gives you a different phone number... worthless in my eyes.
2. the battery isn't removable, so when the battery dies so does your phone.
3. the glass backing is extreme fragile one slight drop and its cracked, front is durable.
4. heard poor battery performance, i know this is still debatable (firmware, usage) but, with no option to switch it out... risky.
5. washy colors on the display, even tho the resolution is very great.
6. no sd card expansion, i mean who are you apple?

The nexus 4 looks like a great phone and the price is right too.. But no expandable storage is a downer..looks like another nexus phone that I won't be buying

My Galaxy S II is up on eBay now as well. I loved the phone for the year I had it (longest I've ever kept any phone) and it's even more awesome now that I put CM10 on it, but I'm going Nexus only from now on. Can't beat that $350 price tag. While I would prefer a 32GB version, I've never gotten close to using 16GB on any of my phones.

Yup same here.
I think everyone who goes from a Nexus device to one that's locked down with carrier bloat ends up regretting that decision.
It'll be amazing getting updates as soon as they're out again. Not to mention the crazy dev support it'll have. This phone will make a great paperweight/desk ornament or backup in case I break another phone, lol.

The lack of an SD slot isn't an issue for me. All my music is on GMusic, and I don't really store anything on my phone but ROMs and ROM related things... so 16GB will be plenty. What does everyone store on their phones that needs so much space anyway? Even if I wanted to store my entire music collection, that's 150GB+... cloud storage sort of gets rid of the need for that. With 16GB, you can even store a few seasons of TV shows... so again, what are you guys doing with your phones? Torrenting?

Already sold mine for 250 on craigslist.can't wait for the 13th. Tho im stuck using this mytouch till then
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda app-developers app

the N4 loos really nice. but I think since I will be sticking with t-mobile (especially since it was working fine during and after Sandy), I rather go with the Galaxy Note 2 as it will be good for at least 1 year and not to mention the software can be upgraded to use the tmobile LTE when it goes live.

I guess the price of the nexus justifies the lack of SD...but i store alot of music/work stuff on my phone. A nandroid backup is 2 gigs on its own.
I could probably get by on a nexus 4, my carrier(telus) is dead silent about it though, and theyre CDMA...so i dont even think I can buy one for telus from google.

Sometimes I Really Hate Samsung

Usually not, but damn. Last week my original GNex had it's radio's take a dump. After 11 solid months, I rebooted one night and had data, but voice never came back. So I put everything back stock and walked into Verizon and paid $15 to have a replacement overnighted to me.
Now, a week later, I've come to the conclusion that my replacement is fubared. I've never seen a device experience sleep of death + turning into an oven so quickly and consistently before. It's good for 30, maybe 60 minutes tops before it craps out. This is awesome when your phone is your alarm clock.
So here I go again, getting ready to waltz back into the Verizon store and do the same song and dance again. Pay $15, get a phone on Tuesday, probably have something massively wrong, rinse and repeat. Hey, devices take a crap from time to time, and luckily mine did while still under warranty, but I'm taking picks on how many replacement units I have to go through before one finally sticks.
My guess is the 3rd replacement is a charm. Who wants the over?
Those of you who have gone through the replacement fiasco with Samsung, how many tries did it take you to get a good one?

Shipping to have it overnighted. It's also awesome that my local store doesn't toss out loaner phones while you wait (It'd make it easy to avoid that whole shipping thing). Maybe I'll call Verizon Tech Support just to bug them about.

no issues at all with mine...
I love Samsung personally

OOOh, free overnight shipping. Thanks Big Red!
Hopefully the next one is a charm because honestly, I don't know what I'd do without a Nexus device on Verizon's network. The alternatives make me cringe.

why is there no option for none

Read the last line of the OP.
I'm just curious to know if getting bum replacements is a "normal" thing because for a phone that went through a "100 point inspection", well, they dropped the ball on this one.

Getting my third in the mail tomorrow Last one had ridiculous sensitivity issues, we'll see what the next one brings.
And why don't you just call em up instead of going in to the store? I keep my phone and they send me a refurb in the mail. The first phone was USPS, but after that one was crap they began overnighting it via FedEx.

I went through 4 before I got my refurb, then I promptly sold it for a GSM model. That's one thing that I have to hand it to Verizon for, they were really good once I got the 1st defective one. I had 4 at one time, most overnighted at no cost and no fees or holds.
They did try everything they could to not send me one though... Unlike Google who were more then happy to send me multiple N7's.

I had to replace one because of dirt under the screen even though its new and heat issues, the replacement was perfect and never get hot under normal use. I also bought one recently and it has heat issue and poor screen as well, but I'll live with it for the price. Its sort of a luck thing with this device, especially a lottery with AMOLED screen. I was going to get the N4 but it seem to also have lots of little issues on its own, such as getting too hot, I really hate phones getting overheat.I'm still waiting on confirmation on the USB OTG too.

After reading this it makes me think I need to bug Asurion tomorrow, I had to get an insurance replacement so I have to go through them for warranty now, they are definitely more strict on some things but like 3 minutes of complaining about signal got me a new one once already. The current one gets EXTREMELY hot under even normal use, so hot that it is uncomfortable to hold and definitely would be uncomfortable up against your face.

The first time I went in, I was hoping that they'd have one in the back they could swap out for me, or a loaner phone (fat chance, I know). My job pretty much requires a working cell phone. I'm kind of surprised that Verizon was so willing to send a replacement out in just a few minutes. Granted, I don't know what alternative they'd have. There's no real way to troubleshoot SOD issues. My main concern is just not having to go through a massive fiasco running through multiple devices, especially with an 8 day vacation coming up.

Well, if it's still under warranty, I'd jump on it.

Let's see... My first nexus has a seriously bad screen. I shipped it out the same day I got it. Got my replacement (#2) and the screen was worse than the first one. So I sent that bad and got another one (#3). This one had the same issue as OP. Radios wouldn't work....no voice or data and the phone got really hot. Enough to where I couldn't hold it to my face. So I sent that one in and they sent me a Samsung Stratosphere (#4 replacement). Sent that in and got the nexus I currently have making 5 replacements (4 with nexuses). I also went through Verizon...
Good luck

I had to replace one about ~8 months ago for screen ghosting. I was really satisfied with the replacement until now because the ghosting is back on the replacement. I'm contemplating switching to T-Mobile though, so I dunno if I'm going to attempt to replace this one.

Well that sucks. My screens have been great. Well, that, or I'm not picky. The second replacement seems rock solid so far. Good data speeds, strong signal, solid screen, solid GPS and no SOD/Overheating. Maybe I've lucked out...but I'm not uncrossing my fingers.

I've been through 5+ Nexi already. Tec Asurion is totally worth the $6.99 per month! Free overnight shipping FTW.

Well, so much for Replacement #2. I highly doubt it's the sim card.

Or you could not be an a** hole and return it and possibly get a reward. I have had my phone stolen in a robbery and I have lost my phones before. Obviously you have never lost a phone because you seem to not know what it's like to lose such a valuable and important thing.When I got robbed, I felt so violated that they had my phone. I have had one person return my phone to me and gave them $100 for it and thanked them a million times. You are the reason people have to take such crazy measures for protecting their sh*t.

It isn't hard (especially for us) to get into a phone and find out the owner's address and contact info. If I was cold hearted I would have done the same thing as previously stated. Although I would much rather give it back. Unless its an iPhone. Then I'll sell it, buy a nexus, and return THAT to them.
Also, if you have sprint insurance you just pay $100 and you get another one.
Still curiously how you lost a phone in target. Did you set it down on a shelf or something??

What kinda of lame excuse is that? Who would "toss" their phone after losing it and then having it returned? Especially if it was a S2? A phone is a very personal item for most ppl. Contains photos, contacts, text msgs, etc... At very least, losing a phone is a huge inconvenience. For most people, it's a sickly feeling know someone else has your personal details in their hands.
The fact of the matter is, if you find someone's phone and don't make any attempt to return it, you're a heartless asshole. And what for? To make a quick buck? Apparently your integrity is only worth a few bucks. Just call a spade a spade. If you're a heartless asshole and you're ok with it, then just say, I'm a heartless asshole. Don't try and masquerade your assholeness with some lame excuse about making sure the loss item is "still being used." That's just bull**** and you, as well as everyone else knows it.

I think he was saying that when a good person turns in lost items to customer service they can only hold those items legally for a certain period of time. Then they legally own that item if it is not claimed.

Hey HTC one owners

I just added a line to get the blue model from best buy and my other phone is an s4 rooted and unlocked. I know this one isn't but so far this one beats my s4 by responsiveness and smoothness. Barely any lags which my s4 had quite a bit. Love this phone.

We need a thread for this?

Seriously. It doesn't even make sense in English.

Some people just like to communicate with others of similar interests and feel that a forum is the perfect place for this.

Until a public root tool is available, I'm cool with almost any form of communication in this cell phone forum haha

I did the same exact thing. Same exact phones. Really glad I got the One.

Yes I love it. It's fast smooth. I love the aluminum feel of the phone. I love the external speakers. And beats

As solid as this phone is, compared to the S4, I felt I didn't need a case for that phone and could toss it around, with the htc one it's like a baby, I am very gentle, just ordered a cruzerlite case, gotta love amazon points, $16 item shipped for $1.46

Just finished setting everything up, migrating from a Galaxy Nexus.
Phone is rock solid however all the bloatware + HTC Sense is killing this device.
Can't wait for root, I really really hate Verizon's crapware!

Glad to have you guys here in the community!
S-OFF is coming alive thanks to Sonic, hoping to get a card myself to help the remainders and those not willing to ship phone as far.
I just don't want to take a $1,300 loss...

Those cards are that ... wallet thumping? Good lord, either way there's got to be some way to jack it aside from the card. I mean, look at crApple products like the iPod and iPhone, even those can be modified (even if it's next to pointless anyways). I remember a couple years back they said that the HTC HD7s wouldn't ever be "unlocked" but alas it was. And some of those modifications to the Windows based OS were really cool. Aside from all that though; if you're close to me I'd drive there and get it done and drop a few bones your way for the service of course. But I believe someone out there has at least figured out a little bit. There's got to be something, if we can "hack" the PSP, we can sure "hack" this phone. lol

Yeah man I read that the prices were high for a 500-credit card, which can do 250 S-Offs at 2 credits a piece. Still that's brain-cramp inducing. I'd buy a couple credits to get mine S-Off'ed but I can't be without my phone for what will wind up being about 10 days between shipping and waiting for it to be processed. Kind of wish I'd hung onto my RAZR M for a couple weeks. lol
I can't be without my phone. I got a One without there being a known unlock because I can live with Sense. Swapped my Galaxy S4 for one when Amazon marked the Droid MAXX as "we don't know if we'll get this in stock again or not". Bleah. Anyway I love the One, way more responsive than the S4 I returned. Gonna hang onto this baby for a while.

I might buy a card and set a day to have everyone close meet at like a Starbucks in NYC, it would save stress, time, money (shipping to and from) you also not without your phone for 4-10 days and it never leaves your sight, you can watch me do S-OFF.
