I'll keep it short because I'm having too much fun with my new Galaxy Nexus. My Revo was having problems so I called Verizon yesterday to get it replaced (under warranty). They didn't have any Revos in the warehouse so she asked me what phone I wanted. I told her I wanted a Galaxy Nexus. She said it probably wouldn't be accepted because it is so much newer and more expensive than the Revo, but she went ahead and submitted it. 12 hours later FedEx shows up with my new (refurbished) Galaxy Nexus!
I've already got it unlocked, rooted, flashed, and overclocked. The dev community is amazing on this phone, and the Gummy Rom is amazing. I highly recommend this phone if you get the chance.
On a side note, my issue with the Revo was that it wasn't charging correctly. I thought it was a battery issue so I warrantied the battery and ordered a pair of extended batteries from eBay. Since that wasn't the issue and I no longer have a Revo, if anyone wants to buy any of my two stock batteries or two extended batteries with door, PM me.

Apparently in my excitement I forgot how to do math. I called at 3pm and it showed up at 1pm the next day, so 22 hours? Anyways, here it is!

BACK STORY:
Well, first I took it into a physical store and asked if there was anyway I could get a different phone instead of another Revo. He said their only option was if it was my third replacement but told me to try calling Verizon. When I called I told the lady everything I could think of to get her to send me a different phone. She told me her hands were tied and could only send me another Revo. I finally caved and told her to go ahead and process it. She then says, "Well, it looks like we don't have any Revolutions in the warehouse so we'll have to send you something else." She then began to read some options: Thunderbolt, Charge, Stratosphere, etc.
ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION:
I told her I really didn't want any of the options she listed and asked if there was any way I could get a Galaxy Nexus instead. She told me she is able to select it, but since it was so much newer and more expensive it would probably be declined. I told her I was willing to take the chance and to go ahead and process it. It obviously worked because I now have a Galaxy Nexus!
TL;DR
I said "Please submit the request for a Galaxy Nexus!"

my supplier says the white cases, are not available yet in china, and will contact me when they arrive, I have ordered 35 pieces, also I did notice today that china in shenzhen, they just got delivery of over 100 black nexus s, all the shops were testing the units before they start to sell them, they were all wrapped in bubble wrap, and all are to be sold without boxes, the shipment was from europe or the us, without the boxes, they skip paying tax, that what i've been told.
So where to buy the cover 'cause at the ebay thing at the other post is postet that the list is ended so i cannot buy it i think, I'm right?

Just a heads-up to anyone who may have purchased at Best Buy. I was there picking up The Lion King 3D yesterday morning (don't judge me!) and while waiting in line at customer service for them to apply my pre-order to my transaction, I noticed that the Bionic's tag listed $229.99. I immediately went to the girl working Best Buy Mobile and asked her to refund me the difference, which was done with no problem, as Best Buy offers 30 days for mobile hardware returns.
So if you snagged up your Bionic at Best Buy, get back there before your 30 days are up and get yourself some moolah back. My difference was $74.20! Hope this helps someone out.

Nope. She just pulled up my receipt (because I asked her if I had to run home to get it) and they did a return/resale and just refunded me the difference. Piece 'o cake.

I just went up to her and said, "I just noticed that the Bionic is considerably cheaper than when I bought it. Since there's a 30-day return policy on phone hardware, I can be refunded the difference, right?" She immediately confirmed. I can't promise they'll be nice enough to look up your receipt or not make you bring in your packaging and such (if they are, indeed, douches) but per policy, they can't tell you no, so long as it's within 30 days.

Yes, because best buy has a 30 day price match guarantee on just about everything they sell. This applies to their own changes in price and to "local businesses" pricing. So if walmart/radioshack lowered the bionic best buy will match the competitor price if you are in 30 days of your phone purchase.
Thanks for this. I hit day 30 today and still managed to get the refund. Good find.

Were you able to still use the phone?
Yea, Sucks.
Holy Cow Dude that looks terrible. I've not had an epic fail yet but I've overdone it recently. my Rooted HTC HD2 seems to have a habit of failing, freezing or rebooting right when I need it. I'm on my way home, i need to make multiple calls back to back and what happens friggin android phone freezes. I kill all tasks try to bring it back up, crashes again then instantly into a reboot.
LG Envy Touch.
Biggest piece of crap I have ever owned.
Complained so much to Verizon that two months after getting my upgrade, they let me get another two year upgrade price on a droid x and keep the envy. Lol. Sold it on Ebay for over $200.
Yea it sucked big time.
I had to deal with 3-4 phone reps and 4-5 store guy's before I got a new phone.
I will tell what they said:
1 phone rep said I needed to leave the phone off over night. ( Say what)
1 phone rep said I needed to clear all in all internet apps. ( So did not fix it)
2 store reps said I was being "slowed down for lot's of data use".
3 reps said it needed a fac reset. ( Did not fix it for long, came home and bam 600kbs)
Any way the new one is all good, but it was a pain becuase "it's the best phone they have". ( I am like I just want the thing to work right, telling me this crap does not make me feal better.)

Yeah it just requires a reboot but it happens every now and then not as often as the random reboots though
I think this phone or verizon is crap.
Well I should have not said all good with the new one, but a lot better so far. It has droped Data 2 times and fell back to 3G one time in the 2 days I have had it.
I don't know at this point if verizon is crap or the razrs are unstable. I know motorola is better than this so I think it's just the 4G LTE gsm and CDMA trying to work at the same time fail.
Edit: It's now doing it to. This is my 2nd phone and less than 3 days it start's pulling this crap.
Bigest phone fail us the Samsung intercept. It's the definition of crashes, freezes, slowness, freak outs, and miss sends and barely any apps work with it
Biggest fail for me was the Nokia N90.
Nice phone with nice camera features, but every now and then it drove me crazy with random resets or, sometimes, with unnoticed shut downs. It just resetted or shutted down in my pocket.

It was the stock launcher. I liked it too, so I used it.
My phone runs out of memory with 12 apps
OC'ed to 710MHz from 524, no GPU, can't upgrade
So I decided to try and contact LG to find out if we are going to get a GC fix and he told me they don't make the rom's that they just make the hardware its unbelievable that they do this to their customers, Never again will I buy a LG product... Seems like our devs are doing more trying to fix this problem for us then the company that we got our phones from.

They will never fix the GC issue. Just like the Thrill won't be getting Ice Cream Sandwich.
Why? Who knows. The P920, same phone, etc. is getting ICS. The thrill, nope. Unless a dev ports it from the O3D to the Thrill.
But where does that leave us who have the phone for 2 years "contract" I own a business and I can't keep having calls not come to my phone its making me lose business and its unbelievable that LG does not take that into consideration.
Leaves us "S.O.L.". Nothing we can do except wait for dev's here to do something.
As for LG not doing anything. That's horse dookies. Their bloatware has nothing to do with a carrier.
It goes Google -> Phone Manufacturer, in this case LG -> Carrier.
"Ginno" was probably an entry-level tech. Which anyone whom knows how to touch a keyboard or a phone screen can do.
I know it sucks, but your just going to have to get a different phone. Like many people, I run a business and I estimate, that just from the calls that I later found out I missed, it has at least cost me a few thousand. And who knows how many I missed and never found out about, because alot of people don't leave voice mails, they just call the next guy. I bit the bullet and got something else, and swore off LG for the rest of my days. I will never ever look at another LG phone, with there piss poor update schedule, and screwing mine up. Im stuck in another two year contact because of what they did to my phone. And something else that angered me, why are alot of the good apps not supported on the thrill. Gta3, and hulu plus for example? good luck in whatever you chose to do. LG don't care, they got your money.

I had the same issue, i couldn't afford to miss calls, and i was calling ATT for more then a month. They tried everything: changed some settings, changed sim card, and even changed the phone....so anyway after so many changes i've managed to get a deal "Samsung Galaxsy S2, no phone fee, no early upgrade fee and no 2 day delivery fee. So the only thing that was bad is a contract renewal. Good luck
The phone is buggy as hell... it really sucks too bc I can't sell this pos to someone knowing it has this problem...I've read v21e fixes GC but I've also read it doesn't idk I've been using a partial wake lock but haven't had time to fully test it. Ill be off on for the 4th and can spend the day trying to get a ghost call but so far I haven't had any. If this doesn't work I'm going to the GNexus.. LG has known about this since feburary and its July and still nothing... never again will LG get my money.

YMMV, but it appears as though Hammerhead devices you've purchased from Google Play Store that are cracked or ones that have suffered water damage are able to be replaced completely free. They'll put a hold on your debit/credit card, mail you a replacement and you send the old/broken/damaged one back.
Note: This is one time replacement is only available for folks who purchased their phones in the US and from the Google Play Store!

only to US customers and only to people who bought from the PlayStore.
I will be getting one because I was working out and accidentally set a weight down on my phone inside the towel and I damaged the digitizer and smeared the color.
