The reason BB was shitting all over themselves is that there are likely very large penalties to be paid for releasing early. I don't quite get why the manager was unwilling to drop the guy $50 to get the phone back. I only read the first post so maybe that is explained later on.First post in this thread is pretty funny.

Edit: Best Buy sold this guy a Nexus early in error and then wanted him to bring it back.
Nope. You'll have to buy those separately.Any idea if this phone will come with screen protectors?
http://www.droid-life.com/2011/12/14/galaxy-nexus-available-from-lets-talk-for-as-low-as-155-for-new-customers-175-for-upgrades/Tonight at midnight, LetsTalk.com is opening up their store to future Galaxy Nexus deals with quite the deal. Using their $75 off VZW coupon, you can score one as a new customer for $154.99 and $174.99 through an upgrade. That’s essentially half of what Verizon stores will charge you.
Head to this link at 12:01 PST and plug in the code $75VZN.
Update: Some of you noticed that their system appears to try to switch you over to a tiered data plan. I have reached out to LetsTalk to get some clarification on this. Hoping to hear back shortly.
Update 2: LetsTalk has confirmed that they have a ‘keep unlimited’ option when you add the Galaxy Nexus to your cart. That should take care of any worries out there for unlimited data Verizon customers.
The coupon code comes from their Facebook page.
Yes you will be grandfathered in.So, if I am currently on a 3G phone and I upgrade, and I have been Verizon for a long time, does that mean that my 4G will be unlimited at the same price?
I volunteer with the red cross and fairly regularly (handful of times a year) end up running overnight shelters. That puts me in a situation where I'm moving around constantly and need to have my phone on me and not charging at all times. Usually that happens after I've had my phone on me all day doing my regular life stuff and with zero notice so I don't have time to charge ahead of time. And since I NEED communications in those circumstances, 2 batteries was a necessity for me, and with the difference between the extended battery and regular being like 8 bucks, I just spent the 8. It may not be necessary for everyone, but it's a no doubter for me.Why buy the extended battery before even having the phone in hand and without knowing how the battery life will be?
There's a few here(though admittedly none great): http://www.droid-life.com/2011/12/15/quick-hands-on-gallery-verizon-4g-lte-galaxy-nexus-extended-battery-gsm-comparisons-and-more/Does the extended battery also extend the phone a great deal? If so can someone post pictures of it with regular and extended battery when they get it?
Did you root it yet?It's not perfect, but I love it.
Details to follow.
Hahahaha. Cell phone pron.Are we going to get pictures of you lying in bed naked with it? That's the only reason I keep checking this thread.
That is timely, as I unplugged mine with a full charge at 6:30 AM today, and ran out of juice by noon, with maybe 15 mins of talk time and not a lot else in between. It showed call time as the biggest drain, with the OS right behind it.For those wanting the extended battery, per droid life its half off at VW online right now.

Go to settings/apps/default music player and clear the defaults like Caspir said. Then the next time you open an audio file it will ask you which player you want to be the default and you can select your preferred one.So does ICS let you actually choose a default music player without having to root?
I was running yesterday and I couldn't find my normal headphones so I used a pair of ipod ones and the movement of the jack as I was running was enough that the phone kept thinking I had newly plugged them in and starting up the default music app over the app I was actually using. Then I gave up and shut down my preferred app and the next time it happened the phone started that app as well.
I realize this may also be a MotoBlur specific issue.
