I checked it out at my local corporate store, it was just the red and black 32g models . I had to test out the camera since no one is saying anything about the clarity of it.. And I must say its pretty good. Better then my nexus 5 and all the prior moto x and droid lineup

I went to a corporate store in Minneapolis yesterday and today and guy told me they can't display it until tomorrow. I didn't ask about on-hands or availability, I just want to see one.

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.

Google needs to grow a set... I mean who cares if ATT would have declined to carry it? Apple has never caved even on their first phone ...

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.
Was hoping that Verizon would leave their fat logo off the back, no such luck. Here's a couple pictures of the Verizon demo showing the Logo and Bloatware installed.
I did purchase the Otterbox Commuter & Defender cases while I was there.
Long wait until the 17th for me.

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.

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.

Don't give them any ideas
At this point I have exhausted all options. I have contacted every possible department with Sprint to try and confirm if they will be carrying the Carbon Grey. I do not understand how a company has no idea if they will be carrying a specific color. I want to grab the phone, and have been holding out on ordering as I want to see if the Carbon Grey is coming. If it isn't, I would just go and get the glacier silver, but if the carbon grey is on the way then I will wait. Anyone have any information if they will in fact have it eventually?
Probably will be in a few months after sales start to decline for the glacial silver. No source, just thinking from their perspective

I'm pretty sure that glacial silver is the only color ever coming to the Sprint and Verizon variants.

Well that stinks! If that is the case I may just run out and grab it then. So disappointed that this cannot be confirmed by anyone at Sprint. I will be so mad if I buy this phone and 2 days later they announce carbon grey!!!

TMo will only have silver as well, so the only way to get a carbon gray in the US in the foreseeable future is to buy the unlocked one from HTC.

I chatted with HTC and t-mobile. T-mobile said they will be carrying all 3 colors when it launches tomorrow on May 18th. Take it with a grain of salt though as I am sure no one has any idea. HTC said when more stock is available of the gray, they will open it up to more sales locations. As you can see on HTC's website, the unlocked gray is backordered.
One thing you may want to consider if you're going to use a case for your phone, you won't be able to see the color of the phone for as long as you have the case on unless you get a clear case. I waited to get the Harman kardon edition of the m8 and for the first months it was cool but after that I never took it out of the case so color really didn't matter. Just my experience, you don't have to agree.

Hmmm...Well that is semi promissing. Maybe the carbon grey will be released eventually.

If you look at the box in the picture it's not a V2 replacement it's a V1. All the replacement note 7 boxes I have seen have V2 in the model number. This one just shows a Black Square.

Not true. Mine has no V2 on the box and just the black square. Still have a green battery icon.
If there is another recall, i will move to another brand....till next year. This has been a nightmare.
Or maybe the S7
Really hope Google offered the Pixel through all carriers instead of its website except for Verizon

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!
