I'm no image expert, but there are a couple of rogue reflections there. Also, there's some weird seams on the screen protector. Might be a photoshop special. I don't see a photo of the back with the verizon logo, please post. Also, seems to be some text on the short side of that box in the first shot. Better picture please? Otherwise the rest could be easily greeked. Or, its a demo unit. Not buying that this is a unit/box intended for retail. Hope i'm wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] idkwhothatis123:
Per my brother who is a manager at my local corp store, the are expecting them in shipment today!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zlatty:
This makes me a happy panda!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
What store so we can call lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] berkmanmd:
im predicting an announcement tomorrow, pre-orders opening tomorrow, and in-store availability on friday. fingers crossed...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DroidHam:
Just got my bonus at work today, bring it on!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TiltedAz:
Also looks distorted like a fish-eye lens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sstang2006:
I have been with my fingers crossed since last month, how much longer.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fdm1:
The pic is definitely at a slight angle, which is why it looks even thicker...

however, who cares? The specs have been clear about how thick it is for a while and there have been other better pictures from the samsung display in NY.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TiltedAz:
I called my source at the Costco kiosk and he still hasn't heard a peep which I know doesn't really mean much. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MIKEAWESOME:
Look at the nexus project hollistically and what they're trying to do w/ ICS. Simplification and beauty from the ground-up. I would hedge my bets on this being a final box for a number of reasons:

- Other preview units were being shipped in things like padded mailers.

- If they're going to send out a demo unit, then we're close to launch b/c Verizon doesn't put out demo units prior to launches. That being said, it wouldn't make sense to have a Demo-unit Only box if you're that close to launch, just send your shipment out w/ one allocated for a demo unit.

- A lot of packaging now is making use of plastic or cardboard sleeves. It's an easy way for them to maintain the simplicity of the design, while securing the box from being opened easily, and providing the necessary design information (logos, name, manufacturer, etc.) and have a nice white backdrop to rest them on.

I think these facts are all good signs pointing us to that December 9th date. Woop! Woop!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
This puts me at east a little.

Perhaps the packaging has one of those outside "skirts" that the white box slides in and out of. My Verizon Blackberry came that way. White box, with a "skirt" or "sleeve".

Anyway, glad to see the box contents. Looks like USB, Charger, and headphones. I'm interested in the headphones. I doubt they're fancy but curious anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sbenson1226:
Hardly. He's holding it at an angle.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ckeegan:
...says the guy with the phone that's 40% thicker.

The difference between the LTE Galaxy Nexus and the GSM Galaxy Nexus is 1/3 the thickness of a US penny.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ejkeebler:
probably because people have been hearing about release dates for 2 months and they all come and pass....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MarkGbe:
I have a HUGE bonus right now looking at these pics.... :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MMcCraryNJ:
Unless Verizon has specific headphones for the LTE model, the earbuds should be exactly the same as what came with my Galaxy Tab 10.1 (I've compared pictures, exactly the same). And I can tell you, for free in-the-box buds, they are quite good. They rival my 50 dollar Zune Premium Earbuds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TiltedAz:
Assuming all is as it seems the next hurdle is price.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MIKEAWESOME:
That's really good to hear, because I loved my Zune Premium earbuds to death.

Best in-the-box buds I've ever used, bar-none.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] v2.2v:
bank on 299.99
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flameinthefire:
where is op? come back op and answer some of our questions
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] criDikal:
that's a hell of a lot more attractive than $599+.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
Well....on contract. Doesn't matter to me though. Im switching once preorders or just orders start.

Edit: meant to quote previous post.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neederishelp:
according to the adds that were leaked a few weeks ago, maybe 199 :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TiltedAz:
Scary how all the blogs begin reporting the same thing at the same time. This story is a perpetual viral blog.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DroidHam:
I leave the country on Monday, I REALLY hope I can get it ordered and delivered by Friday so I can rock out with it in Jamaica =D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Are they the in-ear buds with the mushroom tips or just standard ones that rest in your ear?

I have some Sony In-Ear headphones with music controls, but they were specifically designed for the iPhone, thus some functionality doesn't work. My Nexus One came with a set that the controls worked flawlessly but I didn't like the standard bud design.

I travel frequently and use them on airplanes, so the standard bud design barely drowns out the background noise.

EDIT:

Just googled the Galaxy 10.1 earphones and they are in-ear... but lack a mic? music controls?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flameinthefire:
what are they reporting?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DroidHam:
these pictures. I sent them to phandroid and 20 minutes later its everywhere lol

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leebsammy:
hahahaha you're the Jamaica guy from Engadget. gg
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DroidHam:
nah, going for a week next monday, would hate to have my phone get delivered the day i leave
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vash63:
Is it really? I'm saving $20-30/mo by buying phones outright instead of getting contract subsidies. I'd take $700 at $45/mo before $300 at $80/mo any day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leebsammy:
yeah aren't you the guy who posted you were going there on engadget?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kgbkny:
Same here. I'm ordering it as soon as orders/pre-orders are announced. It'll give me a week or so to test drive Verizon until the Droid 4 comes out. If LTE works as advertised in my neighborhood, I'll get my wife the D4 and port my numbers over from T-Mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TiltedAz:
That'd be a great deal if it was 4G and good signal coverage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] webmastir:
anyone expected less than $299 is crazy. you know how vzw is. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] criDikal:
you get what you pay for essentially.

yes you're saving a buck but are you getting the ideal experience/performance for your $700 device?

i'd rather pay less for hardware and spend the extra money on my day-to-day experience since the hardware can be swapped a lot easier than the service provider.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MMcCraryNJ:
There's a small one-button inline remote with a pinhole mic. The button acts as a play/pause button, at least on my Tab. The dude who was giving his impressions on another forum told me that, at least with the GSM version, it also answers/ends calls.

And yes, they are in ear.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Romparoo:
Well if OP comes back maybe he can answer the question about the ear buds.

Thanks for posting!! I hope it is in my hands by the weekend! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] K.AuthoR:
Personally I really liked the Nexus S box the best. It was white like that on the outside, but on the interior edge of each side, the box contents were colored one of the four Google colors. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
The Nexus S box is tight. My g/f has 2 of them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bleeeeeeek:
Have fun in Jamaica dude.. i've been a few times.. it's never a disappointment!!

p.s. i want this phone..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ejkeebler:
I have not been able to justify buying a smartphone outright, what am I missing?

Let's say it's $599 off contract (i'd suspect more, but...) and $299 off

Verizon's family plan is $70 for voice (700 minutes) + $30 for text (what a ripoff) + $30 for data (right now i'm grandfathered into unlimited, but we will use the 2GB data point as common ground here) and then another $30 for a second line (I have 2)

Off contract That's $599 * 2 plus $160 * 24 = $5038 or $209 a month

On contract now I pay $299 (although it might be $199) * 2 plus $168 * 24 a month for (700 / unlimited text / Data) = $4630 or $192 a month

I would love to be paying less than this, WITHOUT moving to sprint :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Hope that was unintentional...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
lol way to chop up my post.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
I'm betting the headphones are the same as that come with the gsm galaxy nexus.. they're alright. Yes they have a mic.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ejkeebler:
Even the prepaid plan seems to come out to $95 a month, which after taxes would probably end up being more than the plan i'm in now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
LOL that was just how I read it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DebauchedSloth:
As far as data speeds, I'm pretty happy with 5-10mpbs down (which is what I see on T-Mobile, in my area). In terms of coverage, it works well for me.

I've played around with a good friend's VZ LTE phone in these various spots. Have not felt it worth the price difference, where the data speeds were even noticeably faster (which actually wasn't that often.)

In my book, the HW costs about the same ($299 + $350 ETF for VZW, versus $749 for T-Mobile purchased outright), so the question is, are you happy with the T-Mobile service and speeds? I am, and the $aving$ are not inconsequential.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
Perhaps I shouldn't use "g/f" and "tight" in the same post? :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lodingi:
Lol. He said "bonus"

As for pricing, maybe we'll get lucky and get holiday pricing. Say $199? How about BOGO.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Storm T:
That was even worse!! lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
lmfao!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
Well, sure, if those are the only modifiers; however, they're not.

Speeds: 10Mbps max compared to 35-40Mbps (big difference for most of us)

Coverage: T-Mobile has bad coverage in certain places, and horrible indoor coverage

Service: Nobody has T-Mobile...a majority of people have Verizon. Being able to call any T-Mobile subscribers for free is borderline useless.

Going to be useless soon: Once AT&T acquires T-Mobile you'll be pushed toward using the AT&T frequencies, anyway. I think it's a good thing, since T-Mobile service pretty much blows around Cleveland, but most people are freaking out about it. Verizon customers will be comfortable *not* changing a thing.

Point being, the difference in price is *well* worth it for those of us that actually care about having good service. I'd gladly pay twice as much for my service to make sure that it works, it's more than double the speed, and it allows me to stay in contact with friends without using any minutes.

Oh, and hit that 2GB of data a month and tell me how great your data speeds are. A friend of mine that's still reluctantly on T-Mobile hits 2GB every month around week #3 and his download speeds drop to around 150Kbps (which is around 22KB/s...less than 4x as fast as 56k modems hit).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flameinthefire:
if the phone is to come out on dec 8/9 verizon would have started pre ordering today but as always all you get from verizon reps is " we have no information on galaxy nexus as of now"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nicktuso:
Makes me want to switch to Verizon, my girl will have this phone probably the day it comes out, so at least I'll get to play with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robertlawson225:
i took the photos

no its a retail box this is what you would get if you bought from verizon its hard to se in the pics but it does say galaxy nexus on the box its like a stamp

no this phone is the retail phone

best case you'll see it end of week most likely end of next week but could be as far as the following the actual date is never accurate

yes

felt pretty thin to me

there is a screen protector have you ever bought a new phone they always come with one on it that needs to be removed.

you are wrong

work

sorry my time with the phone was very short
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leebsammy:
word thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DroidHam:
next week? nooooooooooooo

atleast let me order this week
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
Yes thanks for answering those questions. I hope it's released this week! That would make up for my ****ty weekend lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
I imagine the cdma crowd is lot smaller than the GSM crowd on xda. Especially for an unlocked phone like the nexus.

sent from outside big and inside small.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
knowing verizon, since it's not a "big deal" motorola phone, they probably won't do pre-orders and if they announce the release date in advance it may not be until a day or two before it's released.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
If it doesn't come out, I will have a ****ty week next week... I just sold my G2x and am shipping it Friday.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flameinthefire:
This !!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] paOol:
now imagine that the CDMA crowd will have access to buy the Nexus for cheapest in the U.S, and on the largest wireless carrier.

The Droid was the first android device on Verizon and had the largest development scene. Those same people are probably upgrading to the Nexus, plus the wave of new customers who just want the latest/greatest.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] criDikal:
if you're happy with it, that's all that really matters.

if we were to use your original statement, you paid an extra $400 to potentially save yourself $30 a month.

so you break even around roughly month 13 (13x30 = 390), so that in 6-8 months after breaking even, to do it all over again?

I guess the point is, you spend the first year essentially breaking even and your actual savings don't start until year 2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flameinthefire:
Why This Kolaveri Di ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] K.AuthoR:
Just my $0.02, but I'll gladly keep my discount through work and pay for Verizon's coverage and speeds... just as long as they don't strip my unlimited data. Then we'll have a problem. :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
Verizon's only worth it for the unlimited data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
Not if you're paying for non-existent 3G data like I am on Sprint. Then Verizon is worth it, capped or unlimited.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Storm T:
White man speak the truth! Sprint is awful these days. Well, if they upgrade then they'll be awful.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
Dude I was in Charlotte yesterday, and I hit over 2 mbps on Sprint's 3G, I couldn't believe it, that was the fastest speed I've ever seen on Sprint 3G. And last weekend I was in Charlotte again and I hit 15 mbps down on their current Wimax 4G.

But in Columbia, SC...non existent 3g. I'm limited to 300 kbps or less, except in a few spots that pull 1 mbps down.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ElektroPimp:
I work with OP. The pics were not photoshopped, and it isn't a demo model. That its the real deal, box and all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flameinthefire:
you guys work for verizon? when will the pre orders start?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] VKaz:
The pictures look great! Thanks for posting. I hope we could get our hands on this phone sometime in the coming week!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DebauchedSloth:
Correct. And in a year, based on past history, there will be another phone that blows this one out of the water, I'll sell the GN and get that (which is what I'd do with the VZW phone too.) And, in the meanwhile, I've got my family on a family plan and I'm saving quite a bit more than $30 a month.

It all depends how long you think you'll keep the phone. I think about a year.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
Any idea on a release date? Or if you find out, can you keep us updated?

[Samsung Infuse 4G] skelleyton:
I've been searching the forums to see if I can find any info on this, but so far I haven't seen anything. I apologize if this has already been asked. I really love the CM7 Rom on the Infuse, and I really want to stick with it, but I've noticed that it won't detect the Infuse desktop dock, therefore it won't launch any sort of dock app I have installed. It works just fine in the Infuse car dock. I was wondering if anyone has found a way to include the Infuse dock detection in the CM7 Kernel, or even modify the desktop dock so that it will work with whatever method of dock detection CM7 uses. I can't even use a custom kernel with a stock AT&T Rom, because that won't detect the dock either. Is there something wrong with my phone, or am I just missing something?

[Epic 4G General] rekrdskratcher:
I'm assuming that, for the most part, the apps on the Market that are designed to "discover" CIQ or traces of it are going to look for any small thing that might be left over from the removals, regardless of whether or not it's actually still part of our ROMs. That said, for all our devs who've put out ROMs that claim to not have CIQ on board, how do we know for sure that it's been removed?

Case in point - I'm currently running ACS ICS v5, and every ACS release that I've been on has claimed to have CIQ removed - yet, I ran 4 different CIQ discovery apps on a whim this morning, and they all claimed to find Carrier IQ on board. Is it just hype, or have we been missing something all along?

/and by "we," I mean, all the devs who work way harder on this stuff than me

//is basically just a ROM slut
[Epic 4G General] nikon120:
From what I've read, the CIQ code is still baked into the kernel. BUT because the guts of CIQ were removed, the code has nothing to talk to.

That may be the culprit being detected. If you are getting other "false positives" then post screen shots of your output.
[Epic 4G General] comtrade:
I am running SRF 1.2 still and from the OP for that ROM states that it is completely removed, not disabled or partitially removed.

"What's the secret sauce? Carrier IQ, the infamous Sprint spyware package, has been completely removed! More details in the second post - you won't believe what we found! Themers and other mod developers take note, many modifications were made to the system in order to achieve this exclusive feature."

when creating the CIQ mod, k0nane had to leave certain directories in order for things to work. They're completely empty of the files that were in them, but their existence will register on the voodoo app until supercurio and k0nane fine tune the detection. CIQ is removed from your phone it you're running a CIQ-free rom. This is says the yellow warning that elements may still exist but CIQ may not be present.
