[INCREMENTAL]

Just got my Nexus and the otterbox and for those that had the og. The Nexus with the otterbox defender case is slightly thinner then the og. I love it. Only thing I have a issue with is that damn speaker its just so quiet

Just walked in the Verizon store about an hour ago. No wait. My store had about 40 phones, so I wasn't worried. Let the early morning peeps battle it out to get theirs first. I was told they sold over 30 in the first two hours. They had me activated in 10 minutes.

I had a $30 upgrade available and a Living Social coupon. I WAS ALLOWED to piggy back them both. So I got $80 off the new phone. Since I was allowed both, I decided to bundle it up (even though I thought it was overpriced). I purchased the extra battery/charging kit ($40), the double cover case($30) and some protective shields ($15). Since I got three accessories, I was given even more of a discount. I thought the biggest ripoff was the case.

So when I went to pay for it, the final bill was $323. I then was given a $17 credit on my nest bill for buying the 3 accessories. So, in essence, I got all the accessories for free.

My apps seem to be transferring as I'm typing this. So that's cool that I do not have to re-download them all. I have not yet received the O.T.A yet.

Well that is my story with the Nexus purchase. I was in and out in 30 min. And I got a good nights sleep. Hope the rest of you had good luck locking one in.

I know that this may come off as me acting like a teenager, but This phone is PIMP!

Now the urge to resit to play with it and have a productive work day

EDIT: Just received the O.T.A. about 90 min later.

Anyone know what the "Verizon Login" app is that came preinstalled and whether or not its safe to disable?

No "snail mail" coupon needed....this is not one of those loyalty rewards coupons that were mailed last week. This is a special VZW promotion to encourage people to upgrade from a 3g device to a 4g device. Requirements are:

- Currently a VZW customer.
- In Chicago/midwest...I can only validate Chicago.
- Renewing contract for 2 years.
- Early renewal OK. I'm 20 months into my contract and was eligible for a new device at the regular discounted rate. This is an additional $100.00 off!
- Phone must be purchased in a VZW corporate store.
- Promotion active through December 31st

That's it! As I said, make sure you talk about the promotion with your sales consultant. This promotion seems to be a bit "under the radar" and my consultant was not aware of the promotion.

Hope this helps!

So, I olrdered me Gnex over the phone this AM and paid the standard $269 after NE2 upgrade discount. I called back after reading this and asked the rep about it. It took her a solid 10 minutes just to find the promotion, and then she informed me that the promotion is only available for qualifying phone numbers. I'm not sure what the qualifications are. I live in Michigan and currently have (2) 3g phones on separate accounts... neither qualified for the $100 promo discount. :-(

I am sure they will know nothing about this when I go in and claim no knowledge. Where did you get this information from? There was/is a promo about upgrading to a smartphone from a non smartphone for $100 but thats all that I have seen.

I showed up a bit early, got mine and was done in maybe 10 or 15 minutes (sometimes have to go through some extra hoops being on a business accounts that only my parents are authorized signers for). Exchange went smoothly, activated fine, and got the 4.0.1 to 4.0.2 update about 20 minutes after!

Love it so far!

Just called my local store. Said there was an initial rush but I should not have a problem if I can get there by 6.
