Default Gsm battery door for Verizon Nexus

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone out there had any idea if the unlocked Gsm versions battery door would fit on the Verizon Nexus. I know its not out yet so we dont know for sure if its different but id like to see some of your guesses.

My reason for asking is strictly out of personal preference... I really dont care for carrier branding and ive owned both of the previous Nexus devices and ive grown a fondness to the Google logo being front and center..

Like i said just personal preference and im sure some of you may feel the same way. So let me know what you think. Thanks.

Default I don't see a V



I don't see any branding on the front at all.

That is a Best Buy advertisement. They always inflate the price of off contract phones because they get more money when you sign up with a contract. It can be had off contract for less elsewhere.

the VZW nexus has a bigger battery AFAIK...so i would think the battery door would not fit.

Im hoping to buy the US 1850mAh battery for my GSM Galaxy Nexus. I hope it won't require a different battery door otherwise I will have to wait for Samsung or another OEM to make an extended battery for the UK model.

i doubt it would fit.
also...from pictures i've seen the verizon version is a different colour so the GSM battery door would look a little odd!
