I personally don't see any problem with the packaging. It's the PHONE we're interested in anyways; we're all going to throw the box out fifteen minutes after opening it, in any case. This might not count as groundbreaking news regarding the phone, but every little bit of information we get on the phone before it's released is always nice .

Looks like a huge box, ha ha. It's kind of cool in it's own way in my opinion. I plan on keeping it. At least the phone should be pretty well packaged! Hopefully a lot of goodies come in that thing.

Looks like something you buy a pre made meal in. I'm a little bummed that the contents were a little light but given the price you can't expect many extras.

I think it needs to come in a metal case

I think jesus himself needs to deliver it!

I dunno about it coming in a metal case. Surely that would cost a significantly higher amount for Sprint to produce, which would possibly lead to a higher device price.
I'll take my Evo for $200 if all I have to give up is a nice box, please.

The box is ridiculous. I saw it when it hit the net and the box is silly stupid. Not that it matters, it could look like a penis and I would still jump up and down with joy when I got my hands on it It would have been cool to have a minimalist case like the iPhone, htc hero, motorola droid has. Even the bigger box of the incredible, but this box looks humongous. It may not actually be too big, but regardless its an odd shape.

agreed i guess, you have the case around for all of 20min then you chuck it.
I just think it would be cool to get this new advanced phone in a streamlined sleek case. I want the case to look as good as the phone. This one looks like something from 2001

I think the case is meant as a joke. They made this phone sexy in so many ways. I think someone felt that they had to do something wrong, even if it was intentional. So we get our phone in a box that reminds me of 99cent store soup . I can't wait for the phone Like it pains me to wait. I'm scrounging for HTC EVO media like a feral vampire looking for the world's last drop of blood

[CLOSED/G2] Pictures of the back

Hey all, I just noticed that Wirefly has some pictures of the back case of the G2. Maybe these have made the rounds already, but I sure haven't seen them before. It's nothing revolutionary, but I'm digging the G2 logo, as well as the "With Google" branding. Hopefully that's really what it looks like.
Just thought I'd share. Enjoy!

EDIT: Looks like Wirefly added more pictures and changed the image links. Here are the new ones of the back. Check out the site for all the extra pictures!

that is the hotness!!!

nice pics but i didn't recall seeing the "with google" logo. just hoping there'll be a better boot logo. found the g1 boot screen to be pretty nasty. maybe it'll be possible to flash on a nexus one boot animation.

Thanks. I hadn't seen this.
I love how the G2 engraving looks.
I'm so excited to preorder this.

Yeah that is totally sexy.

very sexy, nostalgic for those of us with old G1s laying around. i would like to see the same boot screen that the G1 had just minus the t-mobile branding. although recent phones from t-mo have had a really stupid boot sequence with the t-mo jingle and the pink box saying stick together or whatever. so long as it's not the new standard t-mo boot i'll be happy, if i could get t-mo phones that weren't horribly branded t-mo i would like them a whole lot more

Nexus one boot animation >>> shiny android logo. IMO

Sorry, I meant the splash screen(black screen that just said t-mobile g1) but yeah the shiney android is/was kinda lame. Would be nice to see an HTC branded bootlogo from the desire z

wasn't a fan of the splash screen. didn't like the large G1 and tmobile logo. remember i spent forever searching up how to change it... though a htc boot logo wouldn't be too bad.

What is that slider thing on the 2nd picture? Seems weird location for battery door remover.

According to one video I found it's a locking mechanism for the back cover

oh. was hoping it was some type of mute switch xD

The back looks really cool. I can't wait to purchase this phone. I have a homie who works at T-Mobile, and I told him I'll be there Oct. 6. I hope he get can hook up some type of discount lol!
I like the Google logo on the back - makes it more "legit"

Does anybody know what the phone housing is made of? I know the battery door is aluminum but what about the rest of it?

Area around the screen, aluminium, chin underneath rubberized.
Battery cover aluminium, area around it, rubberized like the chin.
I'm not sure if the rubberized area are rubberized plastic or metal though, but more than likely hard plastic.

pretty sure the whole thing is hard plastic excluding the metal battery cover. though it might be that teflon like material they used in the nexus one.

The nexus body is teflon coated alloy metal.

Baby got back!

White Nexus S

New white Nexus S pics leaked. what do you think? i copied this over from AndroidCommunity.com http://bit.ly/hS1z34
It appears that the BestBoyZ are at it again. Over in Germany there's been a leak of a supposed white-backed Samsung Nexus S. This Google phone has been the firecracker of the past few weeks as far as speed and overall fun factor go here in the states, now it's in white? Man, it's like they're in there own little world, these Google phones.

Is white the new white? Case color offerings seem to be all the rage these past few weeks, with several phones leaking the idea that their battery covers, back cases, and entire cases would be offered in more than just black. This Nexus S appears to have only a white back with a black front, giving it a rather unique look for such an already-wild device.

The power button and the volume rocker (Im assuming) is white as well. I will be grabbing one as well as soon as it becomes available.

Don't like it. Love the sleek all black look of the current NS.

I think it would be cool to put a black back on this, so you have a black NS with white buttons. Panda Edition.

lmao
panda edition lol would make millionsjust off of that lol with a save the pandas on the box lol...
but i love white phones and wished the whole thing was white , i think they left the front black so that way when u have the dark wallpapers you cant see the differnce in screen and phone witch i love... if it was all white i would be down to trade no problemo... long live the nexus one still best all around i think...

Can you order "replacement" white back for a black phone?
Sent from my Nexus S

Definitely loving the white back! It's like a yin-yang sorta thing.

i took some time to think about it, but i prefer it all black.

Wouldn't "Panda Edition" be all white with black buttons?

Not a fan of white phones but it would look better if the whole phone was white.

This thing is gorgeous! What do you think guys? Based from the tweets this will be only available in the UK

Much better than the green one that has been posted in another thread.

I want, I want, I want. It looks nice, too bad it is UK only (gotta love exclusives)

Absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!

it looks awesome

I wonder if it's that coated paint like on the black that can chip or like the silver.

seen this in person, it looks A LOT better IRL than it does in photos... might be coming to Canada

anodized i'm sure... I wonder if we could get our aluminum anodized and make our own colors.... Of course it would have to be taken apart but hey, it could probably be done. I know a guy who anodizes, hmmm.
Red with a red bumpers would be hot!

That would have been nice to have. I wish HTC had offered the Developer Edition in special colors instead of the same silver and black. That would have been nice way to differentiate.

i was thrilled to read about 64gb version being offered in red by phones4u but to my great dismay, it's still a 32gb version on the pre-order.
why is it so hard to get a htc one 64gb or s4 32gb ?

It's operator exclusive, not UK

Would much prefer it black, with red injection moulded sides.

Im from Canada so when a client came by my work with the Verizon HTC DNA I loved it. If the One came with that option it would have been the one I got.

On the topic of custom colours: if the phone *could* be taken apart safely I would already have mine Tonsixers anodized, but it's a sure fail plan

Isn't there a company that sells HTC One parts including speaker grills? Maybe you can get your wish soon.

I really like it. I hated the mock-ups from a few months ago but this thing definitely looks beautiful. Still prefer my raw aluminum look, but this is very nice.

If you add some gold trim, it might as well be called Iron Man Red lol

Just Ordered my Moto X!!!

I just ordered by 32gb Moto X. Black with blue accents and a bamboo back. I'm considering going with no case. I did purchase Moto Care with it. I figure, a design this nice and this unique shouldn't be covered up. Plus it just feels so great in the hand. Anyone else use no case?

Congrats!!!
Just ordered mine today too. Got the black front, bamboo back, and dark gray accents. I too went with 32gb...

Amazon has Hula cases on sale right now. Keeps the style of ur phone with a little added protection. I don't use a case but when my hula arrives I'll try it out.

My Moto X is caseless. I only use it when I know it's not going to be put in harms way. Other times, like when I'm at work, I use either my N5 or my iPhone 6, both of which are in cases. The Moto X is way too nice of a phone to keep in a case.

First of all welcome to the family. I also do not use a case, one of main reasons i chose this phone is the looks.
Cheers.

And this is why there aren't that many case options for the Moto X. I am not complaining; just pointing it out to those who complain about the dearth of case options. When you make a phone with wood and leather backs and custom color combinations as well as engraving options, many people don't want to case their devices. So the case manufacturers perceive the market to be limited and don't invest in making cases.
Again, not complaining, just explaining to those (not you) who complain that there aren't a wide variety of cases available for the Moto X.

Welcome to the family. You will enjoy your new phone. I don't use a case and have the MotoCare.

congrats on getting a great phone.
i have cognac leather with silver accents and i go caseless. its beautiful and gets comments all of the time. i also have motocare.
if i am traveling i keep my nexus 6 in a slim case because it is extra slippery. having a leather phone spoils one when it comes to metal and plastic.

Get a motivate and go ceaseless. This phone is fantastic without a case

I go case less but use a Seidio holster which holds the phone quite securely.

Be careful with the bamboo and really check it. I had mine for almost a month then realized it wasn't fully glued on the one corner.
Sent it back for the leather back. I even had the same accents and everything as you ha.

did you receive an email regarding status or shipping? ordered mine on the 12th and haven't heard or received anything. estimated delivery is supposed to be march 20th according to the order page, but it also said i'd receive an email with tracking info, and i have not. i'm starting to wonder if something is holding my order up.
just curious..

The Naked Tough looks great on the X2. It's not gonna avert a major drop or spill but should suffice for daily bumps and dings.
