F*&#ing Verizon. How the F*&# does Apple convince Verizon not to use its ugly-ass logo on the iPhone 6, but Samsung cannot. What a crock of [email protected]&#. I hope we can buff it off somehow with a sugar cube or whatever we are doing now.

The Verizon Black Looked Black, not Blue like the Best Buy demos.
I twisted it at every angle and could not see the Blue that was prevalent in the Best Buy models.

Probably because Apple has a lot more clout than Android OEMs and it may be one of the requirements they have if a carrier is going to be selling their devices.

I wonder if it's really that, or if it's just a straight up business negotiation. Maybe Verizon pays to have the phone branded. Perhaps they paid out the ass when they put the VZW logo on the home button on the Note 2, they pay less when its ordinary back-of-phone branding, and they pay nothing when they get no logo. Maybe Apple just said, nah, we don't need the extra revenue.
that cookie jam crap. are they going to push apps again?

Verizon needs to step up their logo game...
There is no way Verizon changed the color of the phone. That is just crazy talk....settle down people. Same color as the T-Mobile, AT&T, and every other carrier out there. Do I like the 3 levels of rear branding...hell no....but I can live with it. I do think Verizon needs to reconsider the 4G LTE third row though, there is absolutely no need for that.

Ya know, for not liking this phone much you sure watch it's updates and post a lot here. What's the deal? You getting one?
Anyways, how good did the display look with all that rez? Good color? Nice and clear?
I thought it was pretty good, I only navigated through the menus and the camera and its mostly dark colors throughout the menus. But it was pretty good in my eyes .Only problem with the 32g is that they look and feel so much like the other droids

did you get a chance to check out one of the ballistic nylon ones? that's what I'm going with if i pull the trigger.
I saw all three at my local store a couple of nights ago. The moron that made the display tags for them labelled them all "16GB $179.99 on a two year contract". The person that greeted me at the door didn't even know that they were in the store. Inspiring.

It feels softer/less slick than most ballistic nylon that I've handled. Also snagged all of the microscopic burs on my skin, like a microfiber cloth. Caused a "nails on a chalkboard" sensation. I'm set on the 64GB though so I'll have to live with it.

Thats discouraging. I'll have to feel it out a bit, I could see that getting annoying. I'll probably end up buying that one anyway, cuz I reeaaally don't like the kevlar look anymore. It was cool when they first started doing it with the OG Razr and such, but now it just seems tacky and dated.
I've never seen the Kevlar phones of the past, but I thought it looks very good on turbo... Extremely well built. I did like the feeling of the fiberglass phones better on my hand, but will opt for the Kevlar for personal use. I actually like the looks of the Kevlar more than the moto leather or wood.

Curious if it would get any better with time once it's "broken in". I feel like it would be annoying, but it could also smooth out the fibers as you handle it.
Went to the VZW store in the skyway (pretty small store) and they only have the MGF models out on the floor. Might hit the store near home after work and see if they have the nylon out. I liked what I saw, though. A bit bigger than I imagined, but I liked the 2 minutes I spent with it.

I'm gonna get one of these just as a middle finger to AT&T, but most of the colors/styles look pretty tacky. The only one that looks good to me is the matte white.
Not saying this -won't- happen, but for what it's worth, all the pictures of the Ballistic Nylon backed Droid Turbo on the Verizon website show a logo on the back near the bottom, but they don't actually have one. They may have just put that on there because it's on their website. Who knows...
At least AT&T's death star logo isn't awful. I'm sure Verizon will do something truly vomit-inducing to theirs.
That said I'm glad I went with Google Play.
I call BS - I also think this is a website snafu.
One of my staff responsible for mobile devices asked me today how many VZ Note Edge I wanted to order. After weeks of me asking for Verizon Edge availabilty, he said that our corporate rep can now place the order for them. So folks, check with your reps--I would imagine that it's a matter of short time before it hits the retail market.
If you want more details about what we were told, I can find out tomorrow.
Edit:

dont know if there is one for $799 i will probably pick one up if i like the edge
Just picked one up. So far i like it, got the wallet case with it since it was the cheapest. I'll pick up another case online but definitely needed something to protect it. So far my ONLY complaint is the screen protector that goes down around the edge keeps popping up. Besides that I like it so far. I'm coming from a Note II and we'll c how it goes but so far so good.
I'll post back after I've messed with it a bit.
This phone is pretty awesome. Having the apps bar on the edge screen definitely improves the note series I think. The screen protector does keep popping up and is quite annoying but I'll live with it. The phone feels lighter than the Note 4 and feels like a premium made device. The phone comes with Advance Calling 1.0 but you have to enable it and then restart your phone after at least 5 minutes have passed to fully enable it. I wish that there was a root method for the device, but I knew that the device would be locked prior to purchasing. It does take a little bit of time to get used to the edge screen, but I definitely enjoy the added functionality that it brings to the device. I almost wish that they would have moved the power button to the left near the volume rocker, but can live with it being on the top of the device.

Yea i took my protector off. I am going to put it back on later and let the phone sit on the edge portion for a period of time and see if it sticks. Going to order a new one when I decide which I want. Zagg has the phone on their site but doesn't have anything available for it yet. I know they made some ATT that they sell at stores but i'd love to grab it off amazon if they could make them available that way.
Picked mine up today at the Verizon store. Was the first to buy one and there wasn't a line. So far loving the phone a little bit of a learning curve but I like the look and feel of the device.
This is the screen protector I'm using and have no issues with it at all. Just make sure to let it completely dry before using the sPen or it will leave indention's.

Yes. They are available on samsungs website. They actually have been since the beginning of December. Verizon scrubbed the original launch because the edge bar can be used even while the phone is locked. Due to complaints they finally released it even though this is still an issue.

My bad. For some reason there's a link to the Verizon Note 4 Developer edition in the email for the release of the Note Edge the other day. I didn't look at which one it was just saw the post date on it. I get a new phone every 6 months or so if I want, so I'd never actually buy a dev edition for myself.
I'd post the link but I don't have 10 posts yet so I can't link even though I'm obviously not a spam bot.

did you get the zagg glass SP? mine stays put. cant even tell it's there.
I hate silver phones, always have. Anyone I have ever seen just reminds me of a cheap child's toy. And now that I decided to pull the trigger, the unlocked grey one is sold out for now. Come on Verizon, get with the program and offer some more variety!
/rant off
Just buy the unlocked US version and flash the Verizon RUU on it. gg
The nice part is the black front. Pop a case or a skin on it and you can't even tell it's silver. It's actually not too bad looking, and I agree that I *hate* white/silver phones.

What I hate more is a black phone that shows every little nick and mark through the finish and you can't even remember how they got there in the first place. No issue with silver at all with this model as its face it black. Put it in a black TPU case such as the Diztronic or the $20 silicone version sold at Verizon stores. Problem solved.

I concur, I am so done at this point. T-Mobile does not make it any better.
I just bought an S7 edge (Exynos), I was going to go with Note7 but just wasn't sure if it was a good idea to have a phone with no warranty with first recall...seems my concern was valid.
Note7 is such a great phone but with Gorilla glass issues and battery issues, it is just ruining the reputation of Note line and Samsung. Manufacturers need to stop obsessing with thinness of a phone which causes these batteries packed with thin walls causing the sparks.
Evidently the CPSC is investigating this.. not good if it's really a replacement device..
Yep, it certainly looks bad!
