Well it is officially released on Verizon now. But a bit of bad news the home button does have Verizon Branding. Will you be trading s3 to get it? I might. But home button looks hideous

Samsung needs to put their foot down with Verizon. That home button is absolutely disgusting.
I'd like to see Verizon tell Apple to put a Verizon logo on their home button. That would go well. LOL.
That looks ridiculous. I'm speechless.... Lol.

This is the **** that makes me want to leave VZW, now if only one of the carriers would give me a reason to join them..
Verizon must have the biggest ego. I'm currently out of contract with an old unlimited data plan. The minute they try and make me switch I'm gone. For good.

Seems like the branding on the home button could just be rubbed off. With a little elbow grease that button could look presentable.

If microbe was to rub off the paint on the home button, would that void their warranty

A copper penny did the trick on my Bionic. Hard enough to remove the logo, but soft enough not to scratch the bezel.
I will get this phone on launch day but the moment some aluminum button stickers or any color for that matter are released, I'll be one of the first to put an order in. I doubt the S3's button stickers would work on it. They look like they're different sizes

The button can be replaced soooo easy so that it's not a big deal but what IS a big deal is when Samsung would let them modify the look of the entire phone in that way! Samsung just caters far too much to these ASSHOLE US carriers!! Mainly Verizon.... If I didn't have unlimited data then Verizon would have no impact on my carrier choice... Samsung already has to make 10 different models for the same phone and now they gotta put some stupid ass logo on one of the carriers home buttons! What they NEED to focus on is releasing a 32gb or 64gb model instead of this crap... LOL
let me guess the bootloader is locked down for better network security and stability:fingers-crossed:
The logo is there in case you forget that you're using VZW. Same for the VZW logo on the back. Who doesn't love an awkwardly placed cooperation logo on their $600+ device?
No headphones in the box?
Anyone notice on the VZW "In the Box" page for the Note 2 that headphones are conspicuously missing?

I was wondering if this case is for the Skyrocket/T-Mobile S2. I known it says Nexus on the sticker. But at first I thought it was for the AT&T S2, but then noticed the oval style camera cutout similar to your guys' phone.
Oh, and I'm referring to the case on the left. Not the one to the right.
Reason is, SGP keeps screwing up my order. I ordered one for my Nexus like 2 weeks ago, and finally they send me one and it's this one. Definitely not for my Nexus. I'm trying to tell them it's wrong but they're insisting it's for the Nexus.
Anyways, long story short. Once I get my correct case I'm not sending this one back. Would rather give it away to an XDA member. So I was hoping I could figure out what phone this case is for.

The speaker cutout and the camera seems to be in the right spot for the skyrocket. Wouldnt fit the t989, their speaker is on the other side
Yes its for the skyrocket

Gnex is too rounded. I think it's a Galaxy case, but don't know which variant.
Really? Then I'm stumped. Can't be VZW Nexus as well because the speaker is in the middle like the GSM not to the right side. Well if this isn't for the Skyrocket or T989 then I have no other idea. Dunno what else to do with it lol.

I explained it on my first post. I ordered one for my GN, but they gave me that instead. Says GN on the sticker but tales one second to see that it's not even close to the shape of the GN. And the speaker is centered on my Nexus, not off to the side.

I am on my third device after two TEP warranty replacements in about a year. Both times I had to have it replaced, the device simply turned off and refused to ever turn back on again. The phone techs at the Sprint store couldn't fix or explain it, so naturally under TEP I was issued free replacements. I suspect something on the mainboard decided to give out, although nothing visibly was awry according to the techs.
Has anyone else had this issue? Or any similar stories?
I still have the one i picked up last year

I'm a huge fan boy of Samsung.....amazing engineering and well priced for excellent product!
So naturally my first Samsung was captivate! then the skyrocket! Omg what a phone! Bigger screen crisper resolution.....no lag.....front facing camera! Thank you Samsung!
Then fate handed me a GNote! With a stylus! (my first smart phone had a stylus and I was devastated that they started phasing them out) this phone has a huge huge screen. Beautiful white body with great cameras. Everything and more then the skyrocket had. The phone does feel a tad bit bulky...one handed operation can be difficult...but once you get used to it....there is no turning back. I fell in love and the extra function of the s pen has added an extra dimension to smart phones today. I can take a picture of myself and customize a message to my wife. Not a generic template that every one with access to market place can use. But I can create a masterpiece and personalize everything for each person.
If you're thinking of getting a new phone the obvious choice is the GNote! How many processors do you truly need? If you need more then two...grab a PC. The real estate this phone offers is surreal combined with the ability to use the s pen to personalize every single message you send to someone is beyond worth the upgrade. Also the s pen can input complex formulas and mathematical problems that go into my calculus course....about to try it on my discrete mathematics class.
Go for it. Now who wants to buy a skyrocket??

LOL! Funny - I'm going back from a Note to a Skyrocket despite the fact that there's allot I enjoy about my Note. I love the screen, but I never find myself using the S-Pen like I thought I would and it's just too big for me to take it around on my belt easily (I get out and about a fair amount). I really like my Note it and may keep it as a backup (if I can afford to), but it's just not working out for me on a daily basis like I thought it would.
Far too large for me..

Well to each their own . You realize the hardware (processor-ram) is the same as skyrocket? So speeds are technically the same. Atleast I read they were. I could be wrong.
They are both great phones....but skyrocket is just too small a screen. I do alot of reading ebooks and webpages so the note is perfect for that.
So anyways...I love them both
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I like the size of the note for playing around, but for ME it just isnt practical. That and the fact that me and my friends get a good laugh everytime we see someone holding the note to their ear talking on it.
I'm already close to my limit fitting my Skyrocket in my pocket yet alone a Note.. that thing is huge.
At the gym theres like a 30% chance that my phone pops out of my shorts lol.

I had a note. I use my phone A LOT. The note was hurting my hand holding it all day and using the pen. So I traded for a skyrocket. I really really tried to like the note. You can make smart phones as large as you want, you can make one the size of a bus that you have to put a sim card in. But there has to be a line drawn somewhere, and for me, the note was just to big. Not to mention I was never seld conscious until I was holding that thing to my ear. If you want real estate, get a tablet. For me, the skyrocket is about as big as im comfortable with. To each his own, but its nonsense to try and convince someone otherwise, everyone knows what they want and can afford out of a phone, and will buy accordingly.
I had a Note for about two months, sold it.
Sorry, but you (anyone) look ridiculous using that phone, plus it's laggy (even custom ROMs) and it garnered too much attention from people for my taste.

Anybody else out there having amazingly bad luck with your GS3? I just got a 3rd refurb and it came with the power button loose, and fell off in under 3 hours when I tried to use it. They are sending me a new unit instead of a refurb this time - priority overnight. This is the 2nd one I've had with a power button that came off! #2 just rebooted randomly more-and-more every day until I gave up figuring it out after a factory reset and "Safe Mode" start - it would still reboot just sitting there. *SMH* :silly:

Jumped up and down, calmly getting elevated from first-line tech until I got the "customer advocate". She agreed that if I had gotten two defective "recertified" phones, I deserved to have a real (new) one. I had to agree to a two year contract, which in my case only adds 9 weeks to my commitment and they agreed not to change my TOS. Basically they did an end run around themselves, because it will look like I upgraded my phone again, allowing them to ship a new unit. *SMH*

Lol that is definitely a good thing, I'm still going to need an SPG button cover probably because I think it's too flush with the rest of the bezel; I like the way the cover raises it a little bit.
I'm also hoping the faux-leather thing going on with the back cover means VZW can't stick that huge ugly checkmark and LTE logo on it. Even though I'll be going the ZL route but still.
I'm betting Verizon just put that page up there to have some "Note 3 presence". I'm also betting the final Verizon Note 3 will have Verizon branding. But, I'm hoping it will only be on the back.

Im guessing that the leather back is something that will be bought additional and it will come with a plastic back. They showed a ton of backs in the event. Thats premium though. Might need to get a plastic one if using with a case...

I think they learned from all the backlash, and I imagine they lost some sales because of it. I have no doubt they'll still brand the back, which I'm fine with, but there is no need to brand the home button, and I hope they realized that.

We will get the leatherette back, the question is will it be printed on or embossed into the back of it with the 4GLTE crap and VERIZON. I don't care since mine go into a case anyways.
