Agreed, $300 premium for some android decals on the backplate is insanity, imho.
Hey, check your Settings/About screen and let me know what version of the kernel your phone came with.
I'm curious if the fact that it's an "employee edition" phone means you get the "debug" kernel....

Nexus Prime

When do you think the nexus prime will become cheap. Many Android devices gets cheaper after 2 months...so when will the next nexus be around $400?

Retail price? That wont drop for a long long time if ever. Subsidized will eventually drop but even then this phone will be top of the pack for a while and wont drop in price until higher end phones are released or sales are slow.

I could care less if there is an "official release" of ICS for the ns4g. I know I will have it on my phone. Thank you XDA.
I'm pretty sure retail price won't go down that quick especially seeing how the Nexus S held its own for a while. Price will probably be a good factor against the iPhone 4S though...

No one here can answer that. If the ROMs are not to your liking go back to GB stock.
Where is my G Nexus?
dont take this the wrong way.
but you can expect it and read peoples and reporters saying this date and that date.
but odds are we wont know or see the ota untill google issues an official statment.
but everyone ive talked to and all the news ive read
theyve been rumoring end of DEC early JAN.
hope this helps you

If by "get so butthurt" you mean "expressing a lack of appreciation for idiots" then, yes... I'm butthurt.
What does "joke" mean on the planet you're from?
EDIT: And I know you're not the one that actually said he got the OTA notification. I'm still waiting for that pathological piece of work (or trolling Google employee) to reply.
Now go be a good little boy, beg your parents to take you to the mall, sit on Santa's lap and ask him.

Test Version Of GSIII?

Hey everyone, I recently traded my Galaxy Nexus for the GS3 and normally, I get right down to the rooting/unlocking/flashing process, however one thing has been holding me back. The gentleman that I traded my device with worked directly for Samsung and said that the GSIII that he was giving to me, was in fact a development testing device only given out to employees. I was wondering if there is a way to verify this as I know that this could be a potential gateway to future discoveries if this is in fact the case. If any of you have thoughts on this then please share. I've been itching to scratch this flashing bug of mine -_-

This is what a test phone from HTC looks like.
If this person's claims are true, you should go to the IRC and chat with the devs there.
They could possibly find useful information before you get to using your device as normal- again, assuming this is true.
Yeah I think I'll do that. Will keep you guys posted if anything interesting comes from this

I'd rather have this than those piece of garbage bumpers that are out there now. Plus we dont have too many accesories out there yet and people have been taking advantage of demand for this thing($27 is a lot better than $80).At least with the official bumper we can show off the awesome back and get some protection to come along with that!

Poetic isn't "Garbage bumper" I still have my rev1 and it works completely fine. It's $10 and is a steal, they pretty much send you a replacement no questions asked anyway. I spent ~$40 for mines via eBay.
